These strawberry cream truffles look so easy, I’m dying to try them. Except Guy is away in Florida on a boy’s weekend, and I’m terrified if I’m left alone with the batch I’ll eat every single one.  Because I cannot be trusted around desserts.

This sweet yarn inspired embroidery on a tote bag is a great idea. Although it’s originally intended to cover up a less-than-awesome print job, you could freehand  draw a similar design, and stitch over it. And why stop there?  You could even write out  a word or a phrase you love, and chain stitch over it. The link has details on how to do chain stitch embroidery.

Apologies to the vegetarians- really. But sometimes, for us omnivores, there’s nothing quite like a steak and onion sandwich. This one is   Jamie Oliver’s Next level take on it which not only looks perfect for picnics (soon!) but also an all-round great lunch idea.

For S.t Patrick’s Day, I love the idea of this Irish hot chocolate topped with Lucky Charms cereal! I haven’t had Lucky Charms since I was a kid, but I’m considering buying a box after seeing this. I bet that happens all the time- a sudden rush on Lucky Charms at the grocery store every March.

This DIY fabric bird is super cute, and I think would make an excellent cat toy if you add a little catnip before sewing it up! I bet you could modify them to be angry birds, too.

Also, I found this essay on Design Sponge about the rise of negativity online to be a very eloquent and thoughtful consideration about how we judge what we see online. If you read it, please let me know what you think- I find it really interesting that while it seems that we crave beautiful images to look at, there is a very human tendency to judge or scoff at something that seem too unrealistic. But in the context of other countries, other cultures, or even just other ideas about how to make a home in our own cities and neighborhoods, I wonder if we are judging because otherwise we feel bad or ashamed about not living or doing the same? Thought provoking stuff.
