			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My friend, Ross (okay, he is a Twitter friend, sorry), asked me to help him find some cool pillows for his new office&#8217;s sofa. I know Ross is a big geek, so I immediately figured this would be a fun challenge. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s geek Ross&#8217; sofa!</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25879615"><img width ="400" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.73515234.jpg"></a></p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing better than an Abe Lincoln head. This one is hand-silkscreened and hand-sewn by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5510091">Big Stone Head</a>. $20.</p>

<p>Let&#8217;s sit on breakfast! This set of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23611125">egg, bacon and toast</a> is made from Eco-Felt (100% recycled Plastic bottles!). $80 for the set, these are made by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6789514">Diffraction Fiber</a> in Chicago. They also make these the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29322383">Ctrl &#8211; Alt &#8211; Del three pillow set</a> for $58. Light gray pillows look as if they&#8217;ve jumped right off your keyboard. </p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29322383"><img width="400" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.85049707.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Not sure how I feel about this <a target="blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28970354">Bearded Lady</a> hand silk screened cotton canvas throw pillow, but it is different. By <a target="_blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6909502">Utilitarian Franchise</a> for $60. They have a whole collection of odd ones, actually.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28970354"><img width="400" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.83873262.jpg"></a></p>
<p>And of course, the zombie pillow by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5134902">Cipolla</a>, $50.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25682346"><img width="400" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.79321916.jpg"></a></p>
<p><em>One more!</em></p>
<p>While not really made as a pillow, I really want some of these <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11760077">Severed Yeti Heads</a> by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11760077">aquakoala</a> ($85) for my sofa!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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?</p>
<p>There are few humans who don&#8217;t love the Yeti. Beth of Lemon Cadet puts her powers of sewing to good use with her awesome Yeti baby gear! </p>
<p><img src="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/craftybastards/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/tan-yeti-set-hires.jpg"></p>
<p>1) Is there a specific product that you will be selling at the fair that you would like to talk about?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been hard at work on a new yeti design. He&#8217;s much bigger so there&#8217;s room for many more teeth! I also gave the yeti on the onesie a matching plush friend.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/craftybastards/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/yetiball.jpg"></p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>It was only natural that I have a yeti in my clothing line.</p>
<p>3) What famous personality (alive or dead, real or imagined) would most likely be found wearing/holding/admiring this product? Why?</p>
<p>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&#8230;</p>
<p>4) Convince me that this piece should be one of only 3 things I could take with me to a deserted island!</p>
<p>Of course if you were heading out to a deserted island, one of the three things you&#8217;d bring would be your baby. The kid has to wear something and it should be one of these.</p>
