i heart friday!

here are some of my favorite interwebz finds from this week

1. This amazing embroidered portrait by Daniel Kornrumpf via Craftzine Blog

2. This awesome Art Nouveau inspired Amy Pond and the TARDIS artwork...pure excellence! i want a copy....anyone know where i can get a copy.....nevermind i found it here . The artist is Bill Mudron who has done work for Disney and a bunch of other cool companies

3. This super neat handmade version of the American flag....from Free People ....i might have to make myself one to hang in my house somewhere

4. This absolutely adorable Lady Fox Brooch by Hanaletters

5. This hand screened Navajo print scarf from Thief and Bandit. Their store is really neat and full of comfy hand screen printed jersey knit products. I do alot of hand screenprinting myself so i appreciate their stuff and the time they put into making it.

6. ive been following the blog "Easy makes me happy" for a while mainly because i love her crochet patterns available in her etsy shop ...i want this slipper pattern. go check out the rest of her patterns which include a viking helmet crochet pattern for kids to adults...it's awesome!

7. this leather feather headband made from reclaimed leather....also by Thief and Bandit
I may attempt to make one similar but paint it to look like a pheasant feather

8. &9. these two necklaces from Shlomitofir ...they are so delicate and beautiful. i dont like wearing really busy necklaces....mainly because my hair gets tangled in it, but also because i like to keep things simple. She has so many other beautiful things in her etsy shop....many are on sale right now!!

i wont put a number 10 because this post is long enough already. have a great weekend!!

crafty crafty : crocheted peter pan slippers

i poke around several craft blogs on a regular basis....i like to see what is out there and get inspiration for new projects or gifts to make. one of those crafy blogs is Craftzine . while perusing the crochet area of the blog i found this super cute pattern for peter pan slippers that can be made for infant-adult sized feets. its not a free pattern but it will only set you back $4.50 on Ravelry (if you knit or crochet you should be a member of this site!)

how cute are they? they turn up at the toes!! i think im going to make the back/heel come up a little higher...so its more of an ankle boot then a slip-on. the pattern is simple and quick...i finished my pair in a couple of hours. i think i know what a few people will be getting for xmas!!

the weekend:in pictures

sorry its been a while since my last post but life got crazy last week....and with a plumbing emergency sunday and monday nothing else has gotten done.

friday...atleast i think it was friday....dave and i went to China Town and got Bahn Mi subs for dinner. i know....i know...Bahn Mi is Vietnamese but this restaurant, Grival, is in China Town. Folks let me tell you they make the best Bahn Mi subs....ever!!! so so so yummy. afterwards we went to the Asian Grocery Store and bought a big box of Hello Panada Cookies and some Green Tea ice cream.....omg so good.

saturday i had to deliver cupcakes to my friends son's 2nd bday party....we had lots of fun...but it was wicked crazy hot outside.

if you look at the temp on my rear-view you can see it says 106...106 people and probably 90% humidity.....good 'ole Texas summers. ick. at one point during the day my temp read out actually said 108....yikes.

dave and I started a new cross-stitch project...a large Zelda alphabet and i started sewing together the hundreds of mini granny squares (each square equals 1 pixel - about 3" each) that will eventually make an afghan that looks like my pattern on the far right.....ive been working on this thing for probably a year now and im so ready to have it done.

the pattern is based on this tile work....wicked is awesome btw.

ill be back later with a new NowPlaying:Tuesday.
