My Friday Finds . . .

 

A few of the things I find each week that inspire me to want to create, do, think, feel, become, etc. Maybe they will do the same for you! 


Faced with a Tomato glut?  How to make your own Tomato Paste.  From The Kitchn.


I've seen lots of pretty lacy Christmas Angel Ornaments before, but I have never seen any like these.  I like them!  From Ravelry. Roswitha Meuller. quick and easy, crochet.


DIY Watercolour Fall Wreath. Innstruck Studio.  There are a lot of free tutorials if you are into watercolouring.  Great!  


Martha Stewart.  How to make an envelope Book with a cloth binding.  I want to do this.  


I could find no source for this, so if you know whose it is, tell me and I will add it.  It's a brilliant pictorial tutorial on a simple book binding method.


Tea Rose Home.  A complete tutorial on a bottlecap, magentic stickable pin cushion. 


Keep yourself limber  . . .  well, should have tried this 20 years ago maybe  . . .  probably two late now, but I can try.  Even a little is better than nothing.  Again no source.


Tiny Kitty, a free pattern from While She Naps.  Made from a circle of plush. Complete Tutorial.


Flower Pot Mushroom House.  So cute!  From Think Crafts. 

 

From Make.  How to make a sewing kit from a glasses case.

 *.˛.° With pomp, power and glory,
the world beckons vainly;
In chase of such vanities,
why should I roam?
While peace and content
bless my little thatched cottage,
And warm my own hearth
with treasures of home.
~Beatrix Potter  •。★★ 。* 。 


 

In The English Kitchen today  . . . .  Spaghetti & Meatballs. Such a simple thing and so tasty.

  1. Hi, Marie! Terrific with all the paper-less options for kitchen/home--thank you! That's what we're trying to do right now--less paper, less plastic! I already had the fabric bowl covers tutorial on my list--just need to get some fabric. Love that little plush kitty...and the clay-pot mushroom house! How cute is that eye glasses sewing kit?! Spaghetti & Meatballs is a favorite here--I should make this again soon. So many goodies again this week... I just love your Friday posts, and appreciate the time it must take for your to do these! Happy Weekend to you all there, my friend ((LOVE & BIG HUGS))

  6. So there is a little Italian in you! If I did or try to do the splits you wouldn't get to a third of that position. I love the paperless kitchen too! Have a great weekend.~ Di
