My Friday Finds . . .

 A few of the things I find each week that strike my fancy.  I hope they strike yours too!

 

I think this chicken bun holder is really cute.  It reminds me of a hot pad I made a long, long time ago which was a chicken.  I wonder what ever happened to it  . . .  From Drops Design. 

 

Sorry for another crochet pattern, but this curtain is just so darned pretty.  From Annies E-Pattern Central.   I used to get a lot of patterns before the www from Annie's Attic.  I wonder if it is the same company?  (I just checked it out and it is!  Squeee!)

 

A free pattern for a sweet Dr Owl  hot water bottle cover.  Found on  Rowan.  You do have to register, but not a problem.  (For me anyways.)

 

Embroidery on fabric bags.  These are so gorgeous.  From Flickr, but there is no pattern that I could find.  Sigh  . . .  just inspiration.

 

Strawberry Roses.   From Ash and Crafts.  Can you just see these on your cakes this summer?  I can!  Sooo pretty!



A dog bed from an old suitcase??  Why not!  And it fold up when not in use.  From those smart people at BHG.

 

Nana and Co, pretty little potholders.  I Love the fabric choices.  So very sweet.



 

How to turn an in-expensive composition notebook into a pretty art journal.   From Ashley Hackshaw.  A complete tutorial.

 

DIY Orange and Clove, Gardiners Soap.  From a Cultivated Nest.   Orange and clove sounds like it would smell just gorgeous.  Can you imagine washing your garden dirty hands with this?

 

Vintage Housewife Cupcake Toppers.  From Quirky Artist Loft.  Not free but the inspiration is.

 

Mini Farming.  Useful tips for doing some farming in your back yard.  I have always wanted to do this.   I've always wanted chickens.  I wonder if they would keep cats out of the yard?


 
 Cheerios Sheep Snacks.  So cute!  From Everyday Dishes.

 

Cottage Heart Banner Tutorial.  From Kathy's Cottage.  This is so sweet.

 

 How to clean and re-season Cast Iron.  Always useful.  From I Believe I can if I Try.

And finally  . . .



How to add Farmhouse Charm to your Rental Kitchen.  From Smart School House.  And that's it for this week!  I hope you found something useful!

A thought to carry with you through today . . .

"When He says to the poor in spirit, 
“Come unto me,” 
He means He knows the way out 
and He knows the way up. 
He knows it because He has walked it. 
He knows the way because He is the way."
