I have this envelope making template and I adore it. I keep an eye out for interesting paper- used books, old maps, color copies of photos- and people are always excited to receive them in the mail.
This knitted calendar is designed to be unraveled as the year progresses.
I am obsessed with these yarn-wrapped twigs.
And this painted version. (via re-nest)
And, on a much larger scale, these knock me out!

Has anyone in the NYC area been to Moomah? Such a great idea! A crafts cafe for little ones.

I know I’ve blogged about Sharon Montrose’s animal photography before but I had to share this baby porcupine.
Especially for out librarian friends-Amanda, Dragan, LuckyDog, Sarah, et al.- the 2011 Overdue Book Calendar.
I know I have a tendency toward the morbid, but I find deadatyourage.com endlessly fascinating.

I’ve written about how much I love Dash & Albert blankets; their rugs are just as wonderful.
I wrote about Magpie’s Cakes a few weeks ago and got a very sweet thank you note from owner Maggie LaBaugh. Since then, Magpie’s Cake has blown up and been featured on just about every important, taste-making blog there is! I love it when great things happen to nice, talented people.
This video delighted me. (via my delightful friend Rona Thau)

I’ve been on an envelope making spree since I learned to steam open and trace onto quilting template plastic to make my own template. The library has a shelf of free books where folks leave things they don’t want. Kids books make the most fantastic envies. I use an address label if I don’t have a white area in the center.

Kim got the EIO at her baby shower today I think (she opened presents for almost 2 hours!). I was endlessly fascinated with all of the green baby items she got.
Did anybody read about the great goat rescue in the news this week? Apparently two goats got stuck on a very high bridge in Montana and had to be rescued with a large piece of mining equipment!

I’m not sure if I like the overdue calendar or the baby porcupine more!
That stained glass cake is so beautiful I’m not sure I could eat it! Oh so pretty….
I don’t like coke much neither……..
That knitted calendar is sooooo clever!!!! Now why didn’t I think of that? :-/ Just moved Patterson (PrettyStuff) and all of her pretty stuff into her first apartment for her senior year! All four roommates showed up with Dash & Alber sticking out of the trunk! They really are the best deal going for such cute rugs! I love their wool tuffed ones too! (not to mention the adorable dogs in the promos!) xo
my spelling is a mess! sorry….

i think if i could have a full time job
looking over blogs and cool stuff (there’s a LOT of it) online
i’d be very happy.

i don’t know what is funnier,
a horse riding in a car
or the man who’s driving the horse around
he’s a hoot.
