Weekend Favorites

So, I shared a few links this week. It’s been a while since I did that. Maybe I can get back into the habit for 2016 🙂

One glance at this week’s mosaic, and you cannot doubt that it’s winter!

Images

The mosaic below represents other people’s pictures that spoke to me this week on Flickr and Instagram. Click on the titles below the mosaic to get a better look at the images and see more from the photographers who made them.

Links

Here are a few interesting things from around the web that grabbed me this week:

  • Star Wars 2015 Snowflake Collection – patterns from Anthony Herrera Designs. Ok, Star Wars nerds (it takes one to know one…), sharpen your scissors. These snowflake designs are intricate and awesome. May the Crafty Force be with you.
  • Polymer wrist corsage – festive work from Anarina, via Polymer Clay Daily. This floral bracelet grabbed me the minute I saw it. I rarely wear bracelets myself, because they always knock against the keyboard when I type, but I’d totally wear this for date night.
  • 200 scarf yarn bomb – by Angels 4 Warmth, via CBC News. I love this: Angels 4 Warmth [..] wrapped 200 homemade scarves around trees. [..] Tied onto each scarf is a tag that reads, “I am not lost! Take me if you’re cold!” 
  • Maple & Vanilla Peanut Butter – a recipe from Cate in the Kitchen. I would very much like to try some of this 🙂
  • All is not lost – help for mis-crossed cables from Yarn Harlot. If you’ve ever crossed a cable in the wrong direction and not noticed right away, this is the blog post for you. Told with the usual wit and wisdom of the Yarn Harlot, this is all you need to know to fix that pesky cable without frogging the whole thing.
  • Star Wars: The Force Awakens Characters As Calvin And Hobbes – by Brian Kesinger, via BuzzFeed. Worlds collide in a pretty adorable way here.

Stay warm and toasty this weekend!
