Bush's Shoe Dodging Frozen In Time (And Oil)
There's nothing that I'm going to miss about Bush nor his administration. However, the image of him dodging a pair of shoes will be burned in my mind forever. Seriously, it's never going to get old so why not invest in freezing that moment in time with this awesome oil painting from Germany. Available from eBay, the auction is currently set at $200.00 with another week of bidding to go. Good luck you patron of the arts you!
Hearts are cute, lovey dovey and all of that junk, but they don't look much like the blob that beats about in our chest cavity. Realism isn't always romantic after all, but it is what it is. And in this case, it's a nice pair of earrings by designer Melanie Favreau
The Heart Beat earrings are available from the Supermarket for $25.00.
Final Fantasy VIII Cross Stitch - Squall Leonhart
Geekologie reader Anat took to the needle to map out some fierce Final Fantasy cross stitching. The object of desire? Mr. Squall Leonhart of course.
This is done on white Aida cloth, 22 count (22 stitches in an inch). It took 6 months to make (I was actually working on it in classes, too. The teachers were less than thrilled, but understood when I showed them what that pattern was of). I made the pattern myself (with the help of a pattern program, of course) and based it off of Squall's profile picture. It's made of 24 colors and is approximately 11 x 8 3/4 inches big. That would mean there are over 40,000 individual stitches in it. . I promised myself I would never do something so detailed again... But it's been so long and the bug is catching up with me again... Maybe I'll start something new!
Back in the day of my family cross stitch shop, I'd place this up there with some of the "fancy" patterns that were only taken on by the finest of stitchers. And seriously, theres not enough Final Fantasy anything let alone cross stitch. So, bravo! Encore!
While shark fins generally bring bad news, this little guy only brings tea! Yeah, don't worry, that's not chum.
Hey, we've all "cruised" Scientology to get a load of all the crazy it manufactures. But despite my vicious animosity towards Tom Cruise, I still felt compelled to post this tee. Why? Because it made me go "HA!" really loud and scared the cute but feral cat that lives in the living room. Don't worry, she got over it, came out of hiding to take a peek and have a good laugh.
The I Heart Scientology tee is available from Loiter for $25.00.
Sean knows I couldn't possibly turn down a dog with a baby chick in its mouth let alone a dog that nurses birds.
What is it about blank keyboards that's so sexy? I can't explain it but over at Essell they claim it's got something to do with the simplicity of using one single color. I guess I can stand behind that theory since that rocking Das Keyboard from last summer was all black. Whatever, I'm totally smitten with both.
