Cool Paper Plate Weaving

It's really amazing what kids can do when you give them a great project and cool materials. I want to try this paper plate weaving project from Fem Manuel with my little one when she gets a bit older. In the meantime I could see giving it a try myself.

There is a downloadable pdf with instructions at Fine Little Day and a more photo's on Fem Manuel's flicker stream.

Two Cute Acorns

More amigurumi adorableness from PlanetJune. I must learn how to make amigurumi. I must. These little acorns are over-the-top cute and how perfect is it that they slip out of their caps? There is a free pattern to follow at PlanetJune's great site for those of you already versed in the ways of amigurumi.

Cat Adoption

A friend sent me a lovely email today inquiring if I wouldn't be interested in adopting her cat. Said kitty is a pedigree, has a lovely disposition and is cuddly. Unfortunately my cat Lola is mutt from Brooklyn with a mean streak! But very lovable and cute in her own right. So adoption is out, although I'd be happy to give these two lovelies from little love blue a home. Cary Walker crafts lovely little creatures and flora too. Her mushrooms and pumpkins are a perfect fall gift for someone you really like.
