My Favourite Articles and Links This Week
An anonymous artist/guerrilla crafter has been putting up these fabulous mice-sized shops and cafes all over Malmo Sweden. I’m so smitten with them.
This is 101 ways to cheers yourself up. The entire list is so brilliant, everyone should read it.
Choose your hard. The things that are the hardest to do are usually the most important.
My Favourite Pins This Week
Twix cookies!! Be a cookie hero and make these for whatever holiday gathering that has compelled you to bring a baked good! These look so good I want to reach through the screen and eat one right now. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe can be found here.
Chicken Fajita sweet potatoes – Healthy, delicious, and you might as well get something good into you before the overdosing on holiday food is upon us (although if the holiday party that Guy attended last night is anything to go on, the onslaught has already arrived – it was at a restaurant that had kangaroo meat hot dogs and duck fat french fries.). Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.
I am in love with these mini swan succulent planters. Just looking at them makes me crazy with desire to rush out and find those swans, paint them, buy some succulents, plant them, and then gift them to everyone and anyone, because they are the perfect ‘anyone’ gift. You know the kind of crazy I mean- where you are convinced that the time it will take to fight your way through the shopping crowds and traffic to the craft store and the line ups, and then to make them at home, then wrap them in cellophane (go back out to buy cellophane because you forgot the first time) or something to protect from the actual freezing winter out there so you can gift them…. all totally doable before the holidays! Who’s with me?! Maybe for New Years. Pinterest link is here, and the original DIY post is here.
I think this might be the coolest crochet scarf I’ve ever seen! The white and pink combo here looks very summery, but you could easily work it up in neutrals or dark colours for a more wintery look. Pinterest link is here, and the original pattern can be found here.
The best thing about obscure old swear words? They make you look cool, and not uncouth. The link does how more racy terms, and a whole lot of gifs with people flipping their middle finger, so be warned. Pinterest link is here, and the original list is here.
Have a wonderful weekend, friends! I hope you are all on top of your holiday planning and shopping and feeling like you’ve got this all under control. Then maybe you can come over and tell me your secret as to how you got it all done.
