You have to go over to NotMartha and check out Megan’s latest post from her trip to Paris. It’s all about the candy stores and chocolate shops she visited and the photographs are beautiful! Trying to decide which one to swipe for this post was agonizing. I have to say, this post is exactly what I look for in a blog. Megan takes her readers along with her on a little adventure. I’ve learned a lot about this medium from NotMartha.
I’ve been craving this menu ever since my friend Roxanne linked to it on Ravelry. Maybe Sunday…
Loving this article about soldiers who knit.
I don’t know what my friend Jen does for a living, but she spends a lot of time online finding awesome things. Like Muuto Cat Dome, “a habitat for your pet cat and goldfish to interact with each other.” Isn’t that the greatest piece of copy ever? I don’t have a cat or a gold fish but that sentence makes me wish I had both. And a cat dome, obviously.
Biodegradable toothbrush at Anthropologie. And only $5.50. Brilliant!
Finally! Stylish online invitations. These are so lovely and so much better for the environment than the kind you mail.
Speaking of parties, these cupcake kits are fabulous. There are all kinds of themes, all of them lovely.
So charming. So, so charming.
Beautiful photo tutorial for making these Shortbread Buttons.
You might need the Dunk Mug to go with them.
This Cereal Box House tutorial is sweet.
Love this little embroidered Chicken Brooch.
I think I want to go here for my 40th birthday. (via Jennifer at Sachem Farmhouse)
These axes are just breathtakingly beautiful. There, I said it.
Your turn.

No way! I’m April 29th.
Why is there a sheep in the kidding area?
Excellent question, Sandra! I moved Daisy from the non-breeders pen yesterday. She is bred, but she is such an easy keeper that she manages to gain weight, even when she’s only eating hay! So I kept her with the flock that only gets hay all winter to keep her off the grain. Now that she’s getting close to lambing though I want her to have the extra nutrition of a little grain. But she needs to ramp up slowly on the grain or she’ll get sick. She’s in with the nannies so I can control her grain intake for a week or so before putting her out with the ewes.
What a fabulous post – all over the map, with something for everyone. I was moved by the knitting soldier, and just loved the story. Who knew there was yarn to recreate WWII gloves? For me yarn has been my therapy, so it all makes sense to me as stress relief.
Thanks for the article on soldiers who knit! That made my day, it’s cracked the stereotype and I just love that photograph. About 6 years ago when I took up knitting my boyfriend at the time really questioned my knitting until I started making him hats and socks. Oh yeah, I converted him then. He’s my husband now!
I’ll try to write more like Megan (Not Martha). I’ve lived in Europe for 3 years now and don’t really write much about it. Now I know what people like to read.
I always love the stuff you dig up !!! That cat/gold fish interaction chamber is too funny.
