Martha Stewart Kids

Man, the people over at Martha Stewart are brilliant - there are so many amazing ideas on their website for party ideas, it's making my head spin.  I just saw over on designmom's blog that a new mini-issue of Martha Stewart Kids is out, focusing on kids parties.

I love the polka-dot themed parties w/the padded envelope purse favors & polka dot personalized cds in the baby shower section.

   

Gocco

This blog is really bad for me and my A.D.D.-like tendencies w/hobbies.  I see they're now selling Gocco printers on paper-source and I really want one!  Big Daddy refuses to let me screenprint shirts at our house since it's incredibly messy, not that I know how to screenprint, but if I was to learn.....

from savegocco.com

what is gocco?
in the 1970's noboru hayama, a printer and the japanese inventor of the "print gocco" system, wished to develop a quick and easy household color printing system. cleverly combining the basic priciples of screenprinting and rubber-stamping, "print gocco" is a clean, easy, and fully self-contained compact system that exposes and prints all in one unit. using flash bulbs similar to those found in old cameras, an original image is thermally imprinted on a master screen. next, colorful prints are made by pressing the ink-applied master screen against a sheet of paper placed on a sponge pad.

the simplicity in making a screen, and the low cost of production makes the gocco system attractive to professional screenprinters, artists, and designers, and enables even a complete novice to begin printing immediately.
