Stuff to Read

• My talented friend Mallory just released an e-book!  It's all about how to make money at craft shows.  I got to peek at it a bit before it was released and it's just chock full of wonderfully detailed advice from a maker who's been in the business a long time.  Go get it!
• Check out Frances MacLeod's beautiful work.  Her Thirty Days of Thankfulness is such a sweet peek into her life told by gorgeous typography and illustrations.  Thanks for the tip, Shauna!
• Today is the big day!  The Day of the Doctor!  Andy and I are at Wizard World Comic Con in Austin right now, and will be watching the special on Monday in a theater ^_^ But believe me when I say I've spent an excessive amount of time on the BBC site getting pumped for this celebration of 50 years of the Doctor!

Stuff to Make

• Bottle brush trees are staples in classic retro Christmas decorating.  I'd love to try making my own colors...I see many shades of pink in my future...  
• How to cover lamp shades with fabric.  How cool would it be to have seasonal lamp shades that would totally change your decor when you swap them out?
• I love macrame and this DIY is super customizable to your color tastes.  Again...lots of pink.
• This tree shaped shelf is just so simple and perfect!  With these instructions, you could build almost any shape you want.

Stuff to Wear

• Eep!  Check out how amazingly cute Twinkie Chan looks in my Pepelu scarf!
• I need this T-Rex sweater in my life RIGHT NOW!
• Ask Me About My Cat.  This is kind of a no-brainer.

Stuff to Eat

• I have first hand experience with Kristen's bacon.  It's no joke, you guys.  Her Candied Bacon recipe looks insane.
• Grasshopper Cake!  Because mint and chocolate were a match made in heaven.
• Mint Chocolate Cheesecake Popsicles.  See?  Heaven.
• And here's some Mint Brownie Sandwich Cookies for good measure.
