In no particular order, here are some things I like lately...
A Playful Day knitting blog and podcast - I've never really gotten into podcasts, but I'm really enjoying this one! I need the periodic reminder that life can still be playful. (Plus, she has awesome giveaways.)
CMOT Dibbler Discworld Badges - I especially like the Ook librarian badge!
Sweet Potato fries - I've had these in pubs, but never tried making my own.
Briolette earrings - last year I'd never ever heard the term briolette, although I actually have some earrings that would probably count.
Guide to Edinburgh Vintage and Charity Shops by Oranges and Apples - This looks like a good resource. I've explored the charity shops in my area, but one of these days I'll go adventuring to the others she mentions.
This inexpensive yet bridal dress - I wonder if I could pull it off. More to the point, can one still have a lacey knitted shawl if the dress is lacey? Things to think about.
Steampunk jewelry - I don't wear much jewelry, but maybe I would if more of it involved steampunk owls? Heh.
Ditto for Antiqued octopus neclaces.
365 Jars project - Every day, Kirsty Hall lets loose a jar full of art into the world, and encourages people to go out and find them.
Zucchini noodles - looks like a fun spaghetti alternative.
Great links! I subscribed to A Playful Day on iTunes yesterday, and plan to listen tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe wedding dress is gorgeous! I think a lacy shawl could still go. Were you going to knit it in white as well?
Ooh, I'm excited to try the sweet potato fries recipe. Mine always come out a bit mushy : (
ReplyDeleteI love the dress and definitely think you could put a lacy knit shawl with it. Would a kid silk mohair one be too crazy?
I love steampunk jewellery but hadn't seen that, thanks for the link! I also love sweet potato fries ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Playful Day podcast! I'm the same way about podcasts, never really got into them, but there's something about hers which really pulls you in.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try sweet potato fries, I keep reading about them and they sound delicious. Also, what a lovely modern wedding dress! Not sure if a lacey shawl over the top might be too busy, but it's always worth a try! I guess it depends on what kind of lace the shawl is.
