My Favourite Articles and Links This Week

Why everyone should want more walkable streets. Heck yes!

This is the kind of easy dinner party I could actually pull off.

Here are 10 excellent self care ideas. If you are feeling stressed or anxious, this list is for you.

We all know knitting with two strands held together helps eat up an overly large stash, but these blankets are gorgeous and look like they could completely decimate the stash– which I desperately need! Now, to plan for a blanket….

My Favourite Pins This Week

Creme Brulee is one of my all-time favourite desserts, so I was very intrigued by these creme brulee cookie bars. They do have a lot in common with the classic dessert, and are surprisingly easy to make – only 8 ingredients. As a reference, I discarded another cookie recipe I was considering because the cookies had 10 ingredients and then the icing had 6 ingredients. I might have time for that when my kids are older. But I’m not going to worry about it, not when tasty desserts like these creme brulee bars are in existence. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.

Steak and veggies that are all made on one pan? Sign me up. This is great recipe that makes putting together a steak dinner really easy, even though I personally never think of steak when I need to think of a quick meal. And steak on a weeknight is such a treat! Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.

The perfect stashbusting sock- doesn’t matter how much or how little of leftover yarn you have squirreled away, these choose-your-own-adventure socks are sure to help eat up all those little odds and ends – you can combine colour sin little fair isle stripes until your heart’s content! Pinterest link is here, and the Ravelry pattern page is here.

I’m so in love with the wool embroidery on this gauzy top, and I pinned this because I dream of doing a DIY just like this – it looks so fresh and perfect for summer. Pinterest link is here, but I couldn’t find the original source. Anyone else with better google-fu able to find the original source?

I love bright and playful interiors, especially when it looks like someone actually lives here. This home tour was so inspiring – Now I want a bright couch and a graphic rug! And all those prints….. Pinterest link is here and the original post is here.

Am I the only one who felt like Friday sort of snuck up on them? I have no idea where this week went, but I’ve had a cold so I guess I was sniffling through most of it. I hope you are all managing to avoid a spring cold, and that you have a lovely weekend!
