That one was donated by <a href="http://sixofseven.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Jenny</a>!)

I'm hoping to stick to a more regular blog schedule this year. One of many resolutions that I hope to keep. Happy Friday, friends!<br />
1. Love the idea of keeping a <a href="http://steamykitchen.com/19992-memory-jar.html" target="_blank">memory jar</a> with my family...a great way to remember the year's events. <i>(Stumbled upon Jaden's blog when my friend posted this <a href="http://steamykitchen.com/5068-hainanese-chicken-rice.html" target="_blank">chicken rice recipe</a>...yum!)</i><br />
2. Stackable horseshoe rings by <a href="http://www.lilarice.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_65&products_id=183" target="_blank">Lila Rice</a>. I'm in love.<br />
3. I saw <a href="http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20111121/REVIEWS/111129994/1001/reviews" target="_blank">My Week with Marilyn</a> last night and I was mesmerized by Michelle Williams performance. <br />
4. So envious of all the amazing thrifted finds by <a href="http://www.oldbrandnewblog.com/" target="_blank">Old Brand New</a>.<br />
5. I finally got around to watching this <a href="http://vimeo.com/31158841" target="_blank">murmuration</a> video...nature is so amazing and beautiful.<br />

Meet Fiona...isn't she sweet? For her body, arms and legs, I used the same pattern pieces as<a href="http://weiwabo.blogspot.com/2011/11/lola-lucy.html" target="_blank"> Lola and Lucy</a>. Can you tell? It made the project go quicker since I only had to figure out the pattern for her head and tail. It's gonna be hard to part with her, but I gotta pack her up and ship her off to a special friend in Austin. I know for a fact she will be loved there!Monhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04895343535503278497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65093217608016137.post-23070501016533695452011-12-19T11:52:00.000-08:002011-12-19T11:52:08.956-08:00Magical Elf!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnqdLPlSbQGiJ2MZwcC1XxBa-W3A1q8_Yq2cU3V65zyyvUaol8E8A9vzaFtvnq4-AXxzBR2Qkrg04Jk-yZBoXQtUFfR-JUbPYKJMoz8m3tElB36DkrFhKoFiKLGGQC3WFGLKPVfNC5188/s1600/elf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnqdLPlSbQGiJ2MZwcC1XxBa-W3A1q8_Yq2cU3V65zyyvUaol8E8A9vzaFtvnq4-AXxzBR2Qkrg04Jk-yZBoXQtUFfR-JUbPYKJMoz8m3tElB36DkrFhKoFiKLGGQC3WFGLKPVfNC5188/s1600/elf.jpg" /></a></div>Finally finished the illustration for my holiday cards and Rance was nice enough to print them for me last night.

I am excited to hangout out with old friends tomorrow, then Sunday I have some major Christmas crafting to do. Enjoy today's round up and wishing you a lovely and productive weekend!<br />
1// I'm sure this has made the rounds but I had to share it...<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRWatw_ZEQI&sns=fb" target="_blank">Ice Cube's thoughts on The Eames</a>. Three words. Uh. Maze. Zing.<br />
2// Loving these oxidized mirror by <a href="http://www.davidderksen.nl/?p=1131#more-1131" target="_blank">David Derksen</a>.<br />
3// Craft session Sunday will include making a bunch of these little <a href="http://thecraftsdept.marthastewart.com/2011/10/owlies.html" target="_blank">owlies</a>!<br />
4// How cool is <a href="http://www.wallpaintbynumber.com/home.aspx" target="_blank">this</a>? Any photo can be turned into a paint by numbers template for your wall!<br />
5// Can't wait for this <a href="http://bergcloud.com/littleprinter/" target="_blank">cute little printer</a> to sit on my desk someday. <i>(via <a href="http://www.anthologymag.com/blog3/" target="_blank">Anthology</a>)</i><br />
6// Thinking about my Christmas list and really into the idea of giving (or receiving) an experience. Jordan has a great round-up <a href="http://ohhappyday.com/2011/12/10-experiences-to-give/" target="_blank">here</a>. <i>Hint for R...what about #5 or #9? :)</i>Monhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04895343535503278497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65093217608016137.post-44761605041889280402011-12-09T13:33:00.000-08:002011-12-09T15:05:33.747-08:00Shirt Pillow Redux<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL6LXFwADyGTaAxraMF-it-jtBHBqg17sUFbTBnShdUMNocd_8fLuDgV0FO3h6kOt7Ple5duvo4wuwUfdo9cvQ0p7W2GECmwZnqT3DUYI8z47Ivbfx5uA_s6IOX0MBhKoxMr23zOTWyug/s1600/rtd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL6LXFwADyGTaAxraMF-it-jtBHBqg17sUFbTBnShdUMNocd_8fLuDgV0FO3h6kOt7Ple5duvo4wuwUfdo9cvQ0p7W2GECmwZnqT3DUYI8z47Ivbfx5uA_s6IOX0MBhKoxMr23zOTWyug/s1600/rtd.jpg" /></a></div>I haven't made a shirt pillow in quite awhile, but last night I dug up this kelly-green shirt I had in my shirts-for-pillow-making bin, and whipped one up. It's for my pal Ron, and comes with a mini bottle of Maker's Mark.
