Holiday Craft Inspo

November 22, 2010

Had this post sitting in my blog drafts for who knows how long. I’ve been procrastinating posting it, as I have been procrastinating the crafts these images have inspired! Snuggling in my electric blanket with a novel has been the standard way for me to spend my evenings as of late.

Holy Moly, Origami!

I love origami! But as long as I’m not a rocket scientist, I have to be okay with making just frogs and boats for Kai.

Things That Make Me Smile: Icelandic Kids

Have you seen this video by Sigur Ros? I have maybe five times now, because it is stunning. And makes me want to dress my children in traditional Icelandic garb. After all, my husband did live in Finland for two years, so there is a very obvious connection here, I’m sure you see.

And another thing that makes me smile: my poster getting a mention on the Smitten blog at Glamour.com and also at Design is Mine. What a surprise that was! Thank you ladies, and also to Tiffany A. for the heads up!
