Hello Kitty Potato Chip Maker
I love toys that you can actually do something or make something with. This little gadget slices potatoes really thin and then has a special tray that you put the slices on and then stick it in the microwave to make chips. I can’t imagine what they must taste like though. Hmm… Check it out at Rinkya’s blogspot.
How to Make Computer Part Bugs
The idea of making doo dads of one sort or another out of computer parts has been around for as long as I can remember. These little guys, however, are particularly adorable. I think it’s the painted on eye balls! Check out the instructions for how to make these by instructables.com user nnygamer.
Kawaii Fake Fingernails
I was at TrendHunters.com and randomly saw an article about an online shop called Kawaii Nails that sells fake kawaii-style fingernails. And, um, WOW. Those certainly are Kawaii Nails!
All I can say is that I couldn’t get away with wearing these but I have this overwhelming desire to buy them and frame them and hang them on my wall.
A little googling revealed that these crazy bejeweled fingernails are super popular in Japan right now. Who knew? The picture above is from an article at the fashion blog SexyFresh.com.
Beautiful Photo of an Adorable Pug
Just a beautiful photo of an adorable pug. What more can I say? (And if I’m not mistaken, the caption would imply that this little guy’s name is Yoda. Awesome.)

Wood Figures by Ingela P Arrhenius
Ingela P Arrhenius is a talented illustrator from Sweden. And she paints these block figures. Lots and lots of them. Such a brilliantly clever way of expressing her art on a simple and inexpensive “canvas.”

Miniature Single Serving Pie in a Jar
I say that if you take something awesome like pie and shrink it down, it becomes adorable. Right?
Someone at ourbestbites.com came up with this clever idea for single serve pies baked right in canning jars. She says that because they are canning jars, they can stand up to the oven heat with no issues.
She also talks about how well it works to make a bunch of these ahead of time and freeze them for use when unexpected guests come over.
You can find fantastic step-by-step instructions for these ourbestbites.com.
House and Tree Ribbon
JCaroline.com carries some seriously cute jacquard ribbon which you can buy by the roll. This style here was designed by Jessica Jones from How About Orange Designs and it is really sweet. Check it out at JCaroline.com.
Aqua Circus Vintage Comic Book Ad
Pre-cursor to sea monkeys or a knock-off of sea monkeys? Either way, this ad makes dinky little brine fish look like pretty darn adorable pets. You can see this ad and other vintage comic book ads here.
P.S. Random factoid: The guy who invented the Sea Monkeys toy/kit also invented the equally classic x-ray glasses (X-Ray Specs) and other “genius” products. If you’ve wanted to know way more than any human should know about Sea Monkeys and the guy who productized them, check out this article.
