I'm not usually a big Jello fan, but I got inspired this week after looking at crazy pictures of Jello molds from the '50s. (Thanks, Diane.) And I do like orange, as well as anything that's kind of kooky. So I have to make these Jello oranges sometime. Not Martha's recipe with play-by-play is here, and Food Network's version with vodka is here.

Chinese New Year is tomorrow, Feb. 7. In preparation for your party, print some paper lantern votive holders, door decorations, 3D zodiac animals, and more from HP's Chinese New Year downloads section.
These prints from Krista Peel just arrived. They're this vibrant in real life, too. Welcome to my orange office, little prints.
Chicagoans! My friend Barry just notified me about an amazing mid-century modern, vintage furniture source in Carol Stream. Jubilee Furniture Company is open on Friday evenings and Saturdays only, and it's a treasure trove of vintage goodies you can buy for a steal. Best of all, the proceeds support programs for children and families and provide transitional housing for single mothers. To see photos of some pieces in stock right now and read Barry's write-up, click here. For the store website, click here.

A couple of newish sidebar things: a button linking you to the FAQ page and two simple little orange wallpapers you can download.
Caroline sent over this photo of storage bins she and her mom have already made from The Fabric. I'm delighted! We've started a Flickr group for anyone who wants upload pix of their own projects or see what others have made. I've added a link to the sidebar so you can check out the gallery as it grows.
Update: Caroline made a tutorial for these!
