I quite like this idea, maybe for putting together a series of small prints, or a book in a box. From Martha Stewart Living.
 This reminds me of those fun magnetic fridge poetry sets, except more poetic, with the imagery of a river. From Made by Joel.
Â
Any idea? You, too, can easily make a maze rug! Check out this post on Curbly!

Double-sided fabric headband! That’s like, two headbands in one to match different outfits! Fabulous :D How-to on Happy Together.
Â
I love the look of this headband too, like a crown of laurels. Knitting pattern from the awesome Sweatshop of Love.
Â
More headbands! I do like headbands, they go well with my bangs. And I’m seriously considering making one of these. Now I just have to find myself a nice colour t‑shirt. Very detailed instructions on Make It and Love It.
Â
I’ve seen plenty of pillowcase skirts and tops, but never seen a full-length dress made of a bed sheet! The key, of course, is to make it so that it doesn’t look like one is walking around draped in a bed sheet. I’ve often contemplated making a pillowcase top but worry that everyone would be able to tell right away that I’m wearing a pillowcase… anyway, I digress. But this dress is AMAZING! The pattern on the vintage sheet is gorgeous. Read more on the making of the dress on Running with Scissors.
Â
More foam tray printing goodness. I’ve attempted this method before, it’s so much fun I should do more of this. Styrofoam tray stationary tutorial from Smoothpebble.
Â
I’ve attempted these before too! For a project in printmaking class. I drew the design on transparencies with a hot glue gun :D was fun but the “stamps” were wonky and a bit annoying to handle. These stamps from the tutorial on Craft are made with clear silicon caulking on Plexiglass — I’m sure it’s much sturdier and easier to use!
Â
Very stylish bath mat! I love the simple knit cable design. Tutorial from A Common Thread.
Â
Lovely fabric lanterns, molded on balloons and jar lids and stiffened with white glue. Brilliant idea. From Make Grow Gather.
Â
Can’t believe how easy it is to make scratch-off paint! Just metallic acrylic paint mixed with dish soap! Martha’s tutorial is for a wedding save-the-date card, but this could totally be a fun party game or something. Or greeting cards. Or just make scratch-off cards for fun!
Â
Also brilliant are these mason jar sippy cups — so much more stylish than the plastic ones. And yay to no spillage! (Probably not for toddlers though, I think, as they are glass) Actually, I would totally use one of those — yay to no bugs falling into my drinks at outdoor barbeques! How-to on A Bit of Sunshine.
Â
I love how simple this is — just pineapple, banana, coconut milk, and ice! Can’t wait to get some coconut milk and try it :D Recipe on Make and Takes.
Â
I’ve mentioned how much I love the idea of cupcake in a jar — here’s a red velvet version! Mmm cream cheese frosting… From Not Martha.
Â
Simply awesome way to organize desk! Via How About Orange.
Â
Everything about this is so beautiful. I especially love the tiny switch. Book lamps were available for purchase at this Etsy shop but now it’s sold (not that I could afford it anyway. I can only admire them with my eyes). (via Inspire Me Now)
Â
Much more affordable (and makes me equally happy) is this panda mug set! :D Isn’t he clever? (not that I will spend the money. I will be content just hugging it with my eyes). From Mod Cloth (also via Inspire Me Now).
Happy Friday, everyone! :D

You like so many things!
Wanna know what I like? I like favourite things friday, cheers me up and makes me want to get creative :)
your comment just made my day, Lirael! thank you so much! :D
You’ll be happy to know that my printer cable has a handy little “home”, rather than the floor, thanks to your link, yay! I’m also looking forward to knitting that cable headband. You do find the coolest links; thanks!
i’m happy to know that you enjoyed the links! :D
Thanks for the shout out, lady! So glad you like the headband pattern. Can’t wait to see your version!
thank you for visiting! :D i don’t knit very well but will certainly attempt the pattern soon!
