i heart... this and that

Chicago, October 2009

:: This sharpie mug tutorial. Now to think of something clever and mug-appropriate to say....

:: This embroidery book by Miniature Rhino that is coming out this fall. I took a peek at the Renegade Craft show and it is stuffed full of inspiration.

:: This hat from the Brooklyn Tweed collection. My friend J spotted it over on Wiksten last winter and I've been somewhat obsessed ever since.

:: I am reading The Imperfectionists right now and it is oh. so. good.

:: Also, if you need a bit of a giggle today, this Bill Murray clip will serve you well (via Angry Chicken).

I heart... randomly

Coming happily along...

:: I'm going to make these ice cream sandwiches for a party tomorrow. (I have a sneaking suspicion that mine will turn out a little more wobbly, but c'est la vie).

:: This crocheted blanket by Crejjtion - those colours and swirls make me swoon!

:: This gallery of rad tea towels (I'm gonna try on the use of the word "rad" because one of the young guns I work with has been using it frequently and it sounds good when he says it. Ok no. I think it just makes me feel old).

:: I ordered Les Miserables and it has arrived. With an introduction by one of my favourite writers. Can't wait to get going on this :)
