Link Love

It's time for January's link love and I've got ton's of great things I've found around the web.

You Can Have Underwear That Fits!

1.) Burda Style has a great blog post about sewing vintage undies.

How to Make a Mounted Jackalope 

2.) Learn how to turn a thrifted fur coat into a mounted jackalope over on Offbeat Home.

Floral Applique

3.) Over on Coletterie you can read up on how to spice up a garment with some Floral Applique.

5-Minute Heart

4.) Get ready for Valentines Day over on Good Knits and learn how to crochet a heart in 5 minuets. 

Delightfully Tacky: Tortilla Soup

5.) With winter finally here in the city it's time to warm up with some yummy soup.  I'm going to try this yummy recipe from Delightfully Tacky. 

Hand Chopped Pesto

6.) Along the same lines as soup how about some hand chopped pesto cutesy of the Etsy Blog. 

October Link Love

Why don't we start out the love with a little fall inspiration over at Delightfully Tacky, Fall Inspiration: Pumpkins.

Next how about one of my favorite things combined with learning a new skill, Wild Olive has Coffee Embroidery Patterns. 

Over on the Etsy blog they had a fun project and how to on Building a Bat House, a great twist on the old bird house project.

Offbeat Home had two great DIYs, the first one was a recipe and a how to on Making State Fair Style Corn Dogs (one of my favorite fried things on a stick), and the second was two different how tos on making a Hanging Garden.

While we're exploring home tips and decorating options I love Upcountry Vintage's Ultra Affordable Bathroom Art Solution.

This last link has saved my butt a few times and I am now in love with Bias Binding.  Over on Coletterie there is a great tutorial on Bias binding as a Facing or Detail.

More DIY Rebellion

Recently I blogged about sewing as a form of rebellion in my post Makes You Think. That post was in response to Peter Lappin's article on Burdastyle titled Sewing as a Protest.

In the same vein of thought one of my favorite blogs, Offbeat Home, has a post about Repair as Rebellion. This post by Cat Rocketship addresses our disposable culture, and how buying quality items, repairing broken items, or hiring someone to fix something instead of throwing it away is a form of rebellion against this mentality. It also gives you a list of things to have handy to make your own repair kit.

Awww

This makes me want to have kids just for the photo fun time.
