I’d love to subscribe to Uppercase magazine because I have the feeling it would be good for my creative side. It’s terribly expensive, though. (The best things in life usually are; I don’t care what that song says).

we make words is a sweet, interesting art project.

These instructions for making a “bed cave” were proposed on ohdeedoh as a way to give kids who share bedrooms some privacy, but I want one for me! It looks so cozy, and reminiscent of the 1700′s New England beds, where people didn’t have heat and needed to curtain their beds for warmth. I used to want one when I was a kid after touring the Mark Twain house one too many times (ah, homeschooling).

This cute program takes a digital image and converts it into a faux Polaroid. It’s kind of cheating, but the results are really pretty.  It makes a genuine Polaroid camera noise and then takes a few minutes for the picture to appear.  While it’s “developing”, you can shake it!

I used the program to convert a cell phone photo my friend Carissa snapped and sent to me.  The bracket is from Anthropologie, and the a lamp shade and cord are both from Ikea.  She strung the cord through the bracket and made herself a charming, inexpensive, zero-footprint light, perfect for a her tiny apartment bedroom.  So cute!
