I want to make this afghan so badly. I would use totally different colors- and all JMF yarn, of course. Two problems: 1. I can’t crochet. Notice I didn’t say I don’t know how to crochet. I said I can’t. I’ve tried. Even took a class. Not going to happen. 2. Spare time is as rare as a mule that foals right now. Congrats to Lucy of Attic24 on a gorgeous project!
D.I.Y Mason Jar Chandelier. Wanty.
I’m not much of a jewelry person but I love these stacking rings.
Adele Enersen’s maternity leave hobby is staging and taking pictures of her baby, Mila, that imagine what she might be dreaming. She documents the pics on her blog, Mila’s Daydreams. Brilliant and so well executed! These are my favorites so far.
What Don Draper’s Wall Street Journal Hedcut Would Look Like.
Treehotel. Amazing.
If I lived in NYC I’d go to this.

Absolutely lovely rustic baby shower.

I’m not much of a pickle person but I’ve heard McClure’s Pickles are amazing.

I am SO excited that Amy Sedaris has a new book out!!!!! I’ve devoured her and her brother’s other books!!!! Yay!!!!!
I adore your links! If I was any good with electrical (I’m more likely to fry myself and have a permanent perm) I’d make that mason jar light.
I ADORE the blog with baby scenes, that was a lot of fun – and I don’t even like babies!
And I think it’s perfectly reasonable to expect that Marie Antoinette’s head come off, I know I do.
This was an especially good PSYWL, my dear. Those baby dream pictures rocked my socks off and filled me with joy. Literally, my socks are not on my feet and I can’t eat anymore falafel because I’m full. Of joy.
I totally had the same thought about the Marie Antionette doll. Small Batch is a brilliant concept. I’ve been searching for something a little closer to home. The baby pics are all kinds of awesome.
Speaking of stacking initial rings, I love The Vintage Pearl. I was so jazzed when I got a necklace last Christmas from my daughter and son-in-law–from The Vintage Pearl. Love, love, love their stuff:

And the Marie Antoinette doll is just about to die for. I think she might be a must for my French Room!!! xoxo
I can totally make that afghan for you! Tradsies? send me the yarn and I’ll make it for you, I’d love the chance to work with some JMF wool. I can even give you referrals for my work or check me on Ravelry
I recently discovered attic 24 and loved the colors in that afghan. Like colleen, I would be willing to crochet for you
These posts blow my skirt up every week. THANK YOU for doing them – I’m always so so so inspired! I even started a tumblr after following your post to That Kind of Woman last week.
I’m loving Free People’s monthly desktop calendars (July is my favorite!) http://www.flickr.com/photos/freepeopleflickr/

Aren’t people absolutely amazing!
I’ve such a bad crush on Lucy at Attic 24 – I’m in a bona fide crochet tizzy. If you want that blanket out of your wool/colorway – let me know. As long as you don’t need it *tomorrow* I’d love to make it for you. PM me, pal.
Ack! I see now that I’m third in line to crochet that afghan for you, Susie – whoa. You know you’ve made it when you have to draw straws to make somebody else’s blankie!!! Love it!
I would so love to make the cube. I am challenged. I could knit Marie Antoinette with a removeable head, but no way can I make that cube.
Or crochet the afghan.
sigh.
This was an especially excellent PSYWL – thanks for all these terrific links and ideas. I love this feature in your blog. I love your blog, period.

As it turned out, Marie Antoinette’s head WAS removable.
