My Friday Finds . . .

A few of the things I find each week that spark my interest, intellect and curiosity. I hope that they do the same thing for you.



From Flickr . . .  the sweetest little pompom mouse.  They were selling pompom makers at the Hobby Craft shop the other day when I went in to get a marker.  Perhaps I need to go back and buy one!



Thirty days of gratitude journaling prompts.  From Text My Journal.  Gratitude is always a good thing.

 

Super pretty crochet edging ideas.   Love these.  From Rosehip blog.

 

Painted Rock Flowers from Ernestina Gallina on Flickr.  This gal is so very talented.  You should see all the rocks she paints.

 

In a world which has been rocked by so much hatred in recent days, isn't this a great idea?  The Kindness Plate, with free printable.  From Moments a Day.   I am going to do this.

 

Making "We Care" kits for the homeless.  A worthwhile family endeavor, or even something we could do as individuals, auxiliaries, church groups, etc.   From Small Acts Big Change.   Again on Moments a Day.

 

How to make care packages for the homeless.   From Little Lion Challenge.

Its a positive thing to do.

iPad Stand tutorial.  I love it!   From Sewn Up.

How to make a Dry Creek Drainage Canal from your down spout from  Growing The Home Garden.  What a brilliant idea!

 

A bit late for this year, but something to put in your gardening journal as a possibility for next.  I love this raised bed idea. It would be fabulous for herbs.   My brain is ticking.  From A Keeping of Days.

 

10 plants for the Home Medicinal Garden.  Love this.  From Homespun Seasonal Living.

And that's my finds for this week.  I hope you found something here that you can use or that inspires!

 

I wanted to show you what I have been working on since last week.  I finally finished it yesterday.  It incorporates all the seasons.   Raindrops are falling in the spring . .. .  apples and flowers are growing in the summer, acorns in the autumn and rabbits are sleeping in their underground den in the winter.   To everything there is a season  and a purpose under heaven . . . not sure why the colours don't scan properly, but oh well.  I think I am going to get a frame and keep this one, but I may sell prints, we'll see . . .

A thought to carry with you . . .

perfect at once. If you do, 
you will be disappointed. 
Be better today than 
you were yesterday, and 
be better tomorrow 
than you are today."
