My Favourite Articles and Links This Week
Why you should start binge reading right now. I have to agree, binge reading, especially books that tend to fall into the ‘beach read’s category are a snap to read in a day.
Time travelling to the future is exhausting – why big projects feel so BIG.
How to make the weekend feel longer – this is such a great idea!
hahaha, I love this – Idea mist.
Archaeologists discover the world’s oldest break-up letter – and it is awesome! “You have until the end of the month to pick up your flax shawls and sandals or else I will donate them to the temple of the moon god.”
My Favourite Pins This Week
Who else is excited for easy summer dinners?! I’m over here with my hand straight up, because I love summer suppers. Like this Chicken Tzatziki bowl, which is perfect for grilling, has super easy salad, and honestly, if you aren’t feeling like marinating the chicken, I’ve totally cheated and just brushed greek salad dressing on them and called it a day. Because I’m lazy smart like that. Pinterest link is here, and the full recipe is here.
These s’mores cookies are more awesome than the usual s’mores cookie recipe, because of one special ingredient- cornflakes. They totally add that graham cracker flavour and feel and are a perfect addition to the mini marshmallows and all the chocolate, of course. Pinterest link is here, and the recipe is right over here. You can tell I’m really ready for summer with these recipes, can’t you!
You guys know how I love anything that is basically food on a board, because it is my definitive go-to for when I have people over. This brunch board is so fantastic, and also really cost effective- piling a lot of expensive cheese and other fancy items on board might be easy,but it certainly isn’t cheap. This is a really affordable, easy way to have friends over for brunch. Pinterest link is here, and the full post on how to get your budget brunch board on can be found here.
I completely love this fantastic post by Tin Can Knits on layering mohair over a base yarn. There are so many gorgeous examples of how dimensional the colours can get with this simple technique! And knitting a strand of mohair with another yarn is a great way to get on board the mohair train (totally a knitter thing, this mohair train) but also knit at a larger (read: faster)gauge than the typical laceweight that a single strand of mohair can be. Pinterest link is here, and I highly recommend the original post, here.
How cute is this craft supply shelf?! This DIY starts with a cutlery tray and makes some modifications – doesn’t it look so cute?! I could also see this being a great shelf idea in a kids room, for small toys. Or maybe in a living room with little curious travel finds in them… oh, the possibilities! Pinterest link is here, and the full DIY is here.
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!
