It’s been a while since I’ve spent some quality time browsing Etsy, and while there’s no shortage of great products, I wondered how long it would take to find just one item that would make my my jaw drop, my posture perk, my mouse hand freeze in mid-scroll. The answer? Ten minutes. Figures that it would be this Kitchen Conversions poster from Sweet Fine Day‘s shop. I’m a real sucker for anything infographic.
Kitchen Conversions is available here as an 8 x 10″ print or a 13 x 19″ poster, in a few different color variations. What I really want to know is why they had to go and put it on a 30 x 30″ floursack towel. Because anyone who knows me at all knows that the second you combine anything infographic with anything kitchen-textile, I’m done for.

It’s been quite a hectic holiday season here, but one that was chock-full of joy and inspiration. As always, I feel like I’m starting the new year with both feet on the starting blocks, ready to push off and sprint in a dozen different directions. Inevitably, I’ll start to run out of steam, so it’s important to start lining up resources for getting a quick creative recharge. That’s why I was delighted to come across the Wise Dice DIY, a free downloadable template from Moleskine.
Just print out the template on a sheet of US letter or A4 paper (they offer a separate PDF for each size), cut, paste, and roll your 12-sided paper die. Prompts like “Read a page of your old diary,” “Climb on your table and look at the room from there,” and “Draw the map of an imaginary place” will get those wheels turning again in no time. Heck, maybe you’ll even be inspired to fill in your own using the blank template.
Happy 2011!
