If you haven't yet discovered The IT Crowd (!!!) then I'm here to to tell you that Roy's t-shirt collection alone makes this show worth watching!

I envy all of you who haven't seen this show yet, and are going to get to experience the joy of watching it for the first time! Here's a sample, 'cause i can't resist!

Mmmm, Cookies. Nom. Nom. Nom.

Yay for friends! Specifically for friends who gift amazing baking tools, and for friends who call and say "let's bake cookies"!

Finally tore open these birthday cookie cutters. Check out the amazing results!

Coloring History

Sanna Dullaway, a self-taught colorizer, has been colorizing famous photographs from history. As the photos make their way around the internet, they are receiving both praise and criticism. 

I appreciate the work, but understand how this may be seen as changing and tampering with history. 


The color adds such life and expression to the imagery, the realism is startling. But in some cases, it also changes the meaning and tone of the photograph. And for some iconic photographs, this may change how we see historic events. 


I can't imagine the skill and patience it takes to do this—to notice the subtle differences in skin tone and the wrinkles and shadows of fabric. 

I think these images are a delightful project and a thrill to look through, but that for historical record purposes, the originals must stay as is! It would be an inaccurate representation of the past if we were to go through archived imagery and photoshop out elements, such as cigarettes, and i think this falls into a similar category.  


But it's still impressive, and I am glad we get to see the photos like this! See more of Dullaway's work here and on this imgur site. 

Can it.

Growing up with a mother who canned (incessantly), I've been entertained by the resurgence of the Mason Jar. From vases and drinkware, to storage and home decor, people seem mesmerized by finding new-fangled uses for an old-fangled item. 

Check out this Pinterest page devoted entirely to Ball Jars and their alternate uses!

I ove that people discovering the (re)usefulness and beauty of this classic item. For me though... I think the Mason Jar will first and foremost serve as a container to store food!
