My Favourite Articles and Links This Week

What are the hallmarks of your best self?

I’m in love with this incredible art installation.

A Cup of Jo is one of my favourite ‘lifestyle’ blogs, and they recently shared a best of the reader comments that I adored.

Being selfish isn’t always a bad thing.

Hardly a news flash, but apparently some men are realizing that they actually don’t trust women. Worth a read.

My Favourite Pins This Week

I love this round up of colourful lunch ideas, that could easily do double duty as dinner ideas. Not often I find so many recipes I would enjoy all in one place. Pinterest link is here, and the original post is here.

For those of us still holding on to summer with both hands, check out this wonderful dessert recipe for making drumstick style ice cream jars! With only 5 ingredients, they come together quickly and would be brilliant for a party. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.

This little embroidered alpaca softie toy is such a sweet gift idea, maybe for an alpaca lover, or a little one that you care for? You don’t need any advanced embroidery skills, either. Pinterest link is here, and the original DIY post is here.

This simple pom pom craft is great for anyone who is looking to destash a lot of green yarn! Or you could buy little pom poms, too. A cute decoration for table tops or displays – I feel like it would be easy to jazz this up for specific seasonal holidays, too. Halloween themed, anyone? Pinterest link is here, full tutorial is here.

I love this graphic design and the message- it often seems that we are all guilty of looking outside of ourselves for something that will make us feel a certain way, or be a certain thing. When really, what we are looking for is really already in the room. Pinterest link is here, original post is here.

Have a beautiful weekend, everyone! I hope that you get to relax and do the things that you like best.  We will be going to Sudbury to visit my parents, and while spending about 10 hours in a car is not something I love best, that is a lot of quality knitting time. So I’m taking it as a win.
