Friday Favorites (Or something along those lines)

I love finding new little spots on the web, so I am always delighted when I stumble upon a Link Love post or the likes.  It's so fun to see what others are finding out there on this here world wide web. It's a big, big place, and I'm happy to have someone navigate it a little for me. Anyways, I thought I might make a regular post of the interesting stuff I found for the week... Friday Favorites... Pass it On Posts... Weekly Finds... I don't have an official name for it as of yet, but here's my go at it:

  • Learn to make some super cute crate covers. Do you recognize that fabric? It's a sign that I need to make these. (Or rather have someone make them for me... Anyone? image above)
  • Check out a pretty darn awesome before and after redo over at The Lil Bee (image above). I just think the outcome is so completely great!
  • Had enough of this Swine Flu talk? After having the superintendent of schools call our house every day this week (okay, it was automated, but still) and my sister's ISD completely close down, it was nice to read a lighter take on it here.
  • Frugal Dad has had enough and shares his view on living simply.
  • The most interesting product I saw this week was the Pet Umbrella via Unclutter.com. I'm not sure this would have worked for our schnauzers as they weren't all too crazy about their paws being wet, but I have to give it to the inventor for the idea... What do you think? (image above)
  • I spent way too much time perusing Knack's photo stream of their repurposed finds. I'd take just about the whole lot... A girls' shopping trip there could be dangerous! (image above)


  • And this one (via here via here) is altogether lovely:


Have a wonderful weekend!
