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!!

sweet treats: cinnamon sugar nutella tortilla

had Nutella and cinnamon sugar tortillas been around during the time of the gods....im pretty sure todays "sweet treat" would have been their definition of ambrosia (food of the gods).
it sure as heck is my definition of ambrosia

What you need:
Nutella or any form of generic store brand Hazelnut spread with cocoa (i have Kroger brand) its just as good as Nutella
Cinnamon Sugar Flour Tortillas.  Now if you dont live in the south and cant get your hands on fresh made cinnamon sugar tortillas (also from Kroger) dont worry.....you can use a regular flour tortilla and just sprinkle on some cinnamon and sugar mixture before you add the Nutella
you will also need a small pad of butter....not margarine, not light cooking oil.  you need real BUTTER y'all (*me channeling Paula Dean). 

Directions:
-add small pad of butter to skillet and let it melt
-add tortilla to skillet and coat both sides with melted butter
-let the tortilla "toast and/or fry" on both sides til it starts to brown and get crispy
-take tortilla out of skillet and spread liberal amounts of Nutella on the hot tortilla
(if you dont have pre-made cinnamon and sugar tortillas, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar mixture on to your hot tortilla before you add the Nutella)

this is a super easy and fast little treat....and man-o-man is it delish.  i wont judge if you make yourself two of these things....i had two last night.....okay okay ill admit it....i had two and a half of these last night.   and they were goooood!!

wishlist:wednesday

its been a while since i did a wishlist:wednesday...or a blog post for that matter...so here goes




i love these pretties from ModCloth
im in love with these feather cookies made by CookieBoy. I cant understand half of her website but her cookie creations are amazing.  the feather cutter was made custom for her....and having some experience in making custom cookie cutters I may try and make my own because these are amazing....these might make an appearance at my wedding!!! 

speaking of feathers....i have been craving a light grey feather tattoo on my inner bicep....i can feel Dave's eyeroll and *facepalm right now....but what can i say....it fits my personality and ive wanted it for several years now. maybe the feather from my logo ^?

ok....well what about a "new skool" style cupcake tattoo?  preferably a more realistic looking one like the one on the right....but not chocolate cake...maybe redvelvet or vanilla with pink frosting? (source)

anything fun you've been wishing for lately? other than winning the lottery and world peace?
stay tuned...later this week i have a fun inspired DIY just in time for summer

wish list...

man i really need to win the lottery or something....because there is way to much cool stuff out there that i really want/need such as:

1. this amazing acoustic/electric violin.  isnt it absolutely beautiful? its not the best violin i could have but its decent quality and would do very nicely for what i need it for...plus its waaaay better than the crap one i have now.  this is more of a need than want....anyone have $250 i could borrow?

2. a custom couples portrait of dave and i from Pop Pop Portrait .  How cute is that? Check out the rest of her shop...its really cool.

3. these hedgehog mittens.  it is sold as a kit...but i want them already made

i guess thats all for now....there is tons more stuff that i want but definitely dont need.  its always fun to look though right?

so totally surprised

my aunt and cousin gave me my birthday present early yesterday.....and i squealed in delight when i opened this:
anyone recognize it? i posted a pic of this amazing cowl about a month ago on a interwebz find post.....and they got it for me for my birthday.  it is so incredibly FABULOUS!!! its made from the most softest wool ever and by the looks of it, hand-dyed in my favorite colors.  i think i will wear it all winter....if it ever gets cold here.  that means my pasmina scarves in every color will just have to stay in the closet....sorry. ill post a pic of me wearing it soon...i only have a crappy cell phone pic right now.

ps:  she ordered it from a shop on etsy called Silvia66 .  She is from Moderna, Italy....and very talented.  Grazie Mille AJ and Jo!!!!

random interwebz findings....the most epic treehouse ever

one day when i have a yard with trees, and the right to build something in it.....o and i guess kids.....i want to build this
thats right..its a castle tree house complete with a slide and a rock wall.  excuse my 80s child language....but this tree house is so freakin rad....i would have to "supervise" playtime and curl up in there with a book and some coffee while the kids....umm had nap time.  this is the most epic tree house ive ever seen...WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT

cartolina phone app!!!

saw this today on Design*Sponge and had to share.  I found a couple of Cartonlina's mini notebooks on clearance at Urban last year and snatched them up.....one of them lives in my purse so i can write down random things (directions/web links i want to look at later, etc).  they are so girle and pretty....so when i saw this on Design*Sponge today i did a little internal squee.  She is coming out with an app (on Sept. 17th) that will make your text messages and emails pretty.  check it out!!!
I love her stuff...so colorful and pretty. I cant wait to send little love notes to Dave with one of these (dave is probably rolling his eyes while reading this...sorry love but you will get pretty text messages). If you didnt catch the link above go here to visit her website.

interwebz favorites

saw this on Re-nest and squealed.....i have no where to put this wallpaper (thanks to my "goose-bump" textured walls) but i think its the bee's knees.....maybe i can put this on the back of a closet door.....hmmm.

i have also see people use comic book pages as wallpaper.  i think that would be fun thing to put in a bathroom....so you or your guests could have reading material.

i also totally want Dexters Laboratory DVDs.  I know I'm about to enter my "late twenties" but im a total sucker for cartoons....esp the older Cartoon Network and Nick Toons.  What?.....dont judge....you know you totally like them too.

 
this dana alvarez guitar remake  ....so rock 'n roll but girlie at the same time



this really cute birdie bookmarker from Our Workshop



silhouette art work....these are done by master scissor artist Karl Johnson

anything and everything from Rifle Paper Co.  So simple and whimsical....love it!

Thats all i got for now....but trust me there is so much more
