My bookmark folders are brimming over with awesome, so I’ve decided not to stand on formality and bring you this edition of PSYWL two entire days early! So clear your afternoon schedule, cause you have a lot of links to click.
My two latest blog crushes are Jordan Ferney’s Oh Happy Day! and Laura Normandin of Wren Handmade.

Just curious about Rick Bayless? I think his cookbooks/recipes are nicely written. ?
Andrea B., I agree that his recipes are great- it’s him personally that bugs me! I find him sort of…smarmy. And his stupid goatee bugs the hell out of me. Totally irrational, but there it is.
Thanks for spreading the word about the yarn crawl – retailers can use all the help they can get these days. not that your yarn isn’t THE best
Dwarf mini horse made my day
I know what you mean–he was a lot cooler years ago, back when he wrote his original books. (Those recipes are goooooood.) This whole tight t-shirt shell necklace goatee thing he’s doing now is icky. I don’t watch his show anymore…
This is so cool, but would I wear it?
