The Roomba vacuum cleaner is arguably a good purchase. But it could do with a little makeover… Craftzine posted this hilarious “Horny Toad Roomba” cozy tutorial.
The design looks rather life-like, especially to pets I would think. You cannot help to be very amused when you watch it in action!

One essential thing for anyone who cares at least a tiny bit about keeping organized, personal organizers, PDAs or moleskin notebooks are daily used.
Normal organizers can be quite bulky and electronic gadgets aren’t always completely reliable. Forget to charge them or put batteries in and you’re screwed.
As well as being expensive, they’re also not exactly environmental friendly.
Pocketmod seems to be a nice solution for several reasons: *it’s DIY, *it’s recyclable and *small.
On Pocketmod.com are detailed instructions on how to build your own personal organizer. I actually really like the concept. The instructions are easy to follow and I think I’m going to build my own this weekend.
Many things make this little personal organizer special, here is a list.
- It fits easily in your back pocket or purse.
- It’s as cheap as one piece of paper (Because that’s all it is!)
- It opens like a book. Leading to easier to find, more organized notes.
- The first page has a pouch, big enough to carry a business card!
- Customizable with “Mods” tailored to your needs.
- It’s free and fun!

Last year I got myself a brand new sewing machine. I haven’t used it yet cause I never seemed to have much time to devote to my hobby and, well, I’m having a hard time finding good quality fabric to work with.
I love some of the fabrics at DesignDivaFabrics.com. They have some lovely styles and I’m particularly into their vintage stuff as well the some of the brands, such as Ralph Lauren and Versace Home. They have a wide range of different fabrics, from silk to discount velvet upholstery fabric.
Anyways, they also have a blog and recently they started this Vote Up Count Down. This is actually a really fantastic idea! Anyone can create an account and vote for their favourite fabric. The fabric which receives the most votes, will be featured on the Count Down mode, meaning it will get cheaper by the second. The fabric with the next most votes will then replace it and so on, so forth…
If you sign up with them you will get notified via email when your fabric gets into Count Down mode.
Great idea, check it out!
