Combo of printmaking (Gocco), drawing, sewing, quilting and collage.

I only use Chicago Freecycle to give (not get) and I'm a BIG fan. I used the web-only option on Yahoo and would post my stuff to give away through the Yahoo group page. Very simple. Only get emails...

I like the principle idea. Thanks for posting it. It helped shift my thinking.

I'm not so keen on this in itself, but I appreciate it as an interesting hybrid between the curvy overstuffed Ektorp* and the cleaner boxier styles. *I've got an Ektorp chair which is...

This is so charming. I hope the other side opens up so you can get protection and a bit of a breeze. It *finally* got hot here in Chicago and now I can only think of this feeling like a very muggy ...

The best junkman ever is Dr. Evermor and his Forevertron: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2239 I especially love the ...

I don't have a specific site for you, rosenatti, but I highly recommend checking out your local library. It probably still has a few of the upteen books from the 70's about DIY terrariums.

I'm not seeing huge innovations either, but the product look like a definite nod to Muji, with very simple, unbranded, translucent design.

Sciencegeek - I've thrown away my 99c toilet brush from Ikea, but I think that was kind of the point of it. :^) JenPDX said it very well - I don't think of anything (save something lik...

I was thinking you could line clear bottles with any color paint you like and make them any color you'd like. Matching the house or trim color? Probably too matchy-matchy?

Totally Type A Aquarian list maker. Been dating a Type B man who never makes lists and it kind of freaks me out. But I still love him. Lists are just so darn good at getting things ou...

I love that in the bottom row, middle pic, the wallpaper on the laptop in the same as the wallpaper. Clever idea!

McMansion. Or any bland, too-big suburban house.

My beau and I long for a Scamp: http://www.scamptrailers.com/ The tiny version of the green dream above. :^)

Summerdance, the outdoor film festival (a drive-in w/o the cars), free Millennium Park concerts are great. But my fave favorite is to sit by Crown Fountain or the Bean and watch people interact wit...

I wish I had the before mirror to paint all the leaves black and the roses red and hang it on an eggyolk yellow wall. But I'm crazy like that.
