Geek Your Sofa

My friend, Ross (okay, he is a Twitter friend, sorry), asked me to help him find some cool pillows for his new office’s sofa. I know Ross is a big geek, so I immediately figured this would be a fun challenge.

Let’s geek Ross’ sofa!

There’s nothing better than an Abe Lincoln head. This one is hand-silkscreened and hand-sewn by Big Stone Head. $20.

Let’s sit on breakfast! This set of egg, bacon and toast is made from Eco-Felt (100% recycled Plastic bottles!). $80 for the set, these are made by Diffraction Fiber in Chicago. They also make these the Ctrl – Alt – Del three pillow set for $58. Light gray pillows look as if they’ve jumped right off your keyboard.

Not sure how I feel about this Bearded Lady hand silk screened cotton canvas throw pillow, but it is different. By Utilitarian Franchise for $60. They have a whole collection of odd ones, actually.

And of course, the zombie pillow by Cipolla, $50.

One more!

While not really made as a pillow, I really want some of these Severed Yeti Heads by aquakoala ($85) for my sofa!

Thanks for the challenge, Ross! Send us photos of what you get!

Lemon Cadet’s New Yetis

First I have to ask. Is the plural of Yeti, Yetis? Should Yeti have an uppercase Y? Where is the AP Style for magical creatures? Does J.K. Rowling have one? Can I get a copy?

There are few humans who don’t love the Yeti. Beth of Lemon Cadet puts her powers of sewing to good use with her awesome Yeti baby gear!

1) Is there a specific product that you will be selling at the fair that you would like to talk about?

I’ve been hard at work on a new yeti design. He’s much bigger so there’s room for many more teeth! I also gave the yeti on the onesie a matching plush friend.

2) Does this product have an origin story? Did the idea come to you in a dream or through a portal or other strange way?

I love Christmas movies. One of my favorites is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer because of its most important character Hermey, the elf who wants to be a dentist. In the film he befriends the Abominable Snowman. Because of that, I became really interested in the Yeti and started collecting them and drawing them.

It was only natural that I have a yeti in my clothing line.

3) What famous personality (alive or dead, real or imagined) would most likely be found wearing/holding/admiring this product? Why?

If they made really really big onesies, I think the Loch Ness Monster would wear one. Maybe I could just make a shirt for him…

4) Convince me that this piece should be one of only 3 things I could take with me to a deserted island!

Of course if you were heading out to a deserted island, one of the three things you’d bring would be your baby. The kid has to wear something and it should be one of these.

Check out Lemon Cadet in Booth #10 on September 28th at the Crafty Bastards Arts & Crafts Fair!
