blog awesomeness

1. i can never remember where i found cool stuff online so i always blog about it. but then i can't ever find the specific post. darn. anyway, in attempt to save this cool i idea i saw (on a blog, of course), here's a photo. and here's where it came from. the family apparently has a similar clothespin chart for quality time with mom & dad. brilliant!

2. i saw this beautiful doily blanket on another blog i read (zoiks, can you tell i'm obsessed?!) it's way too expensive to buy for myself, but i think my bff will make one for me. if i can choose a yarn. which is turning out to be slightly impossible.
