felt

What do you get when you mix Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie, Comedy Central's Crank Yankers, and Dr. Drew's Loveline? Felt, a new show on Logo that uses puppets to act out real couples' sex therapy sessions and "homework" assignments. The show, which debuted last week and airs every Monday at 10 p.m. EDT, offers relationship realities most can relate to and even some decent advice. After screening the first two episodes, I caught up with Brent Zacky, the senior vice president of original programming and development for Logo. Based on what I saw and our conversation, here are four reasons to check out the show.

Lots of moms like to think out loud and Hansel and Gretel does too. Peas in a Pod comes from the OnSugar blog Hansel and Gretel.

I never really understood the concept of 'Peas in a pod' but when I saw this cute Etsy find "3 peas in a pod", I think I may finally have it. So, the peas fitting snuggly in this leafy green pod represent the children or is this the whole family? If so, I am going to need another pea, I don't want to put anyone out. Now, I am confused again.  

These Peas In A Pod are beautifully handcrafted by Green Man's Shop found on Etsy and based in Israel. They would make a great conversation point for just $26.50. Stuffed with 100% wool, lined with cotton and measuring a huge 11" inches long, these peas in a pod are genuinely a beautiful imaginative toy for children.

This weekend I finally caught up on one of my French cinema Netflix picks, Paris, written and directed by Cédric Klapisch. Set in the City of Lights, the film had plenty of beautiful sights, but it was only natural that the architect character in the movie would live in a hip modern abode. As he walked onto his expansive balcony with stunning city views, I got a glimpse of his cluster of felt rock ottomans. Not only are they a perfect fit for his contemporary home, but I'd definitely seen them before. Wonder where?

Got a shake or rattle in the house that needs some fixin'? Put a stop to it with a simple solution — felt pads ($3.89). The fuzzy little guys most often find their way under furniture legs to keep hardwood floors from scratching, but they are quite useful in other ways, too.

Charming as they may be, hanging plates can often cause a rattle that will drive diners crazy when they get up to refill their glasses. To bring some peace and quiet back to the table, just stick two small felt pads or one large one to the back of the springs and it will create a sound barrier between the wall and the plate holder. And it may keep your plates a bit safer on the breaking front, too.
