my kitchen needs a makeover

seriously, i still love the colour, love the idea...but i HATE this big ikea cabinet that's taking up like half the walk space. AND because the kitchen is my cooking/sewing room, i need to fun this place up a teense. (i'll post pictures & ask for ideas later this week...i need your help, minions...please, pretty please!

in other news, while perusing the interwebz for ideas, i came across these can-i-have-them-right-now...



bottle screws - $12.99, butterfly can opener - $25 (though not sure how you use it or can i imagine spending $25 clams on a can opener...) pacman potholder - $14.99, memo dinnerware - $12.95, cafeteria tray & cup - $13.50

sir, do you know why i pulled you over?

*macy is in the background on a molly mutt bed...so this is a relevant post...right?!

fun for breakfast

i love breakfast. no, i'm serious. i love it more than any other meal & i wait pretty much all day to eat it again. LOVE.

i've run across a few rando things that would make my favorite meal...well, unstoppable. i mean tic-tac TOAST?!?! a gun egg? yeah, i need this stuff.

(gun egg mold - $8.99 egg soldier - $7.83 tic tac toast - $2.99)

it's no secret...

that we LOVE fan photos. pictures of YOUR dogs on a molly mutt beds is maybe my #1 favorite part of this business. for serious.

when this picture came in today, i wanted to wrap my arms around it & hug it. (thank you so much karen for the great picture & fabulous post!!)

announcing something really awesome...

ON MONDAY (yes, a long, super-extended drum roll until then!)

as you can see, this dog is ultra-excited about the possibilities...

phuntastic photography

these pictures made me smile this week (yep, more dogs...design-y people, i will get to more of that soon!)

some of my favorite customer pix!

it's a fact. i am the lamest blogger ever. i think of a million posts i want to write every day but barely manage to post once a month...blurg!

in lieu of something poignant or brilliant, i am posting about the thing that makes me the happiest...when customers send in pictures of their dogs on our three new patterns! (title track, big city life & mr. roboto) (though i can only include a few here, check out all of the pictures here.)

i wish i could post every single one-best part of my job...seriously!!

mystery...

san francisco, 24 august, 1933

dear murray,
received your letter to-day & was surely pleased to hear from you. sorry we could not meet here. we leave to-morrow & i don't know where we go next.
best wishes
ray

(a lovely friend gave me a postcard recently, one she found on ebay...so mysterious. i mean, who is murray tyson? why couldn't he meet ray" & who was ray? the possibilities are endless.)

i felt like saying something

about felt (i am so funny sometimes...)

a round up of strangely radical felt goodness. everything here is from etsy. keep on crafting you wickedly creative peops you.

(in the usual order) orange felt dog pouch-$40 smacks. iphone case (SO cool!)-$34.90. punk rock cassette tape zipp-y bag-$38 clams. rabbit pillow-$32 one dollar bills. elizabethan collar weiner dog pillow-$40 bucks (i mean SERIOUSLY?!?! so a++).

the news on the street

oh-me-oh-my. what a week. it's official, there are NOT enough hours in a day to get half the things done that need to get done. remember that lame-o movie with michael keaton, multiplicity? sadly, i dream of this being true about 753 times a day.

no boring you with details. let's focus on something fun. f-u-n, FUN. & what's more fun than stuff for the working girl (or boy) in you. if you spend as much time as i do in & around working...well, let's just say it's time to spice it up a bit. (and let's be real, i am a huge, ginormous geek.) i few things i have on my perpetually growing "molly-wants" list.

the cassette tape is a usb hub. design-win. (though i can't find a place that sells them in the states...blurg.) the thing with the strap is an ipod/iphone holder. well done, for $28 smacks. & last but certainly not least, a wooden laptop case. perhaps a bit bulky, but tres chic. thankfully, it costs 220 euros, so i will not be buying this until i'm 40.

mark your calendars people. in 2019 i will be wanting this laptop case (but to tell the truth, we will all probably not have any need for actual hardware or cases to hold them in by then. probably just your standard issue chips-in-the-brain...a girl can dream.)

night night, punks & princesses.
