I got a new hard shell case for my iPhone; when Aviva saw the case she flipped and thought it was fabulous! I remembered the toy based on the design so I hunted it down on the internet and bought one. The ‘visible gummi bear’ arrived in a box with its insides in plastic bags […]

San Francisco (photos)
We just got back from a short driving trip to San Francisco. I thought driving through the midwest was boring – try driving north to San Francisco from Los Angeles. In the summer, it’s brown. And more brown. And flat. Very flat. We stayed in Hotel Tomo – a really good choice as long as […]

Cardboard dragon kit assembly from d-torso (pictures)
I recently purchased another d-torso kit, this time from Fab. This kit looked really cool – a red dragon (of Hannibal Lecter and William Blake fame). I love making things, I’ve made a few of these before (1, 2). Here are pictures of the finished kit – I think it’s fabulous!
