Must Make This: Polaroid Scarf

I have a really long list of projects I'd like to attempt when I have some free time. I don't get to 99% of them but having a running list in my head helps me stay on top of things. Occassionally I'll see something that jumps right to the top of the list.



I spotted this amazing scarf on Hoopla the other day. The designer, Philippe Roucou created something simple yet gorgeous here. So gorgeous that nearly all of them have sold out, even with a healthy price tag on them.



Of course my internal cheapskate has me convinced I can do my own version, with my own photo for a lot less. I wear scarves quite a lot so I think something like this would make a perfectly fun accessory for me.

I can get silk printed but no clue how to finish the edges. How hard could it be? Anyone know how and want to give me (i'm really quite a terrible seamstress) some tips? Has anyone done this project already and want to give me the inside scoop?

Kitty approved.

He took a few days to link about it but the man cave rug is now officially kitty tested and approved.

Man Cave: In Progress

For those that remember Ive gone subterranean to work on mr. limestone's man cave, I thought I'd update you on the progress. (check here for the inspiration board) Still more to do but a few key additions are totally making a difference down there.



We hung the old school map I gave him for Christmas. I love it. And it fits beautifully on the far wall so double score.



Then the rug came and I am in love with it - the perfect bit of mod pattern to break up all the wood, draw the eye around and define the seating area. I know some of you are anti-chevron so avert your eyes. Huge thank you to the lovely readers who alerted me to the fact Overstock had this rug on sale - I scooped it up from them at a nice discount.

Another Christmas gift was the spooky alligator head. What says man cave more than the petrified head of a scary dead animal?

I also picked up a few cheapo travel posters from ebay (which will eventually get replaced with posters the hubs picks out himself on our travels). I haven't had a chance to hang them just yet since I'm working on some other things for the walls as well.

You already know how I made the souvenir tshirt pillows. I might make more of them later, I haven't decided if they are really needed.

Obviously I haven't done anything with the too wee coffee table. I still have no clue how to solve the problem but I dig the shape and the marble top so I'm not giving up on it yet. I'm ignoring the problem for now hoping some genius solution will come to me in my sleep.

So that's how this room is coming. What do you think? Suggestions are always welcome.
