Fun Stuff • DIY Earrings + Cat Shoes + Human Alarm Clocks and More

This week, I spent a lot of time on Pinterest :P  With Spring starting to peek around the corner, I've been nesting quite a bit and there's no better place for interior design inspiration than Pinterest.  And now that SXSW is winding down, I'll be able to get in and out of town a little easier for more Thrifty Thursdays.  Hooray!

Check out some of the stuffs I found online this week!

• I've been looking for a good turban tutorial since last fall, but this DIY "tur-band" is probably a lot more practical for the Texas summer that's heading my way.
• Being a geology nerd, I totally love the idea of decoupaging everything to look like different types of stones!  Also, you should've seen my first attempt as spelling "decoupaging".  Woof.
• Kathy Cano-Murillo is on of my crafty heroes and her recent, super simple geometric jewelry tutorial is just begging to be made.
• How great are these lightening bolt earrings?!  They make me want to put nail polish on everything.

• This dress reminds me of a super-cute version of Elle Driver from Kill Bill.  Have I mentioned how much I love Kill Bill?
• Because I always need another black and white, Peter Pan collar dress.  But this one has a scalloped collar!  And they make it for tall girls, too!
• Vans is partnering with the ASPCA and they made the most perfect sneakers for crazy cat ladies.
• I don't know that I could pull these off outside of pjs because of my Amazonian height, but I still love them dearly.  Because cats. 

• I found out about Hoop-la magazine from Jenny Hart a while ago on twitter and I've been trying to figure out how to get my hands on a copy ever since!  She's featured in the magazine along side lots of other artists and general embroidery inspiration.  So cute!
• Shauna posted this article about jobs that no longer exist in her Link Love this week.  I think it's so cool to see a slice of life that's so foreign to us now.  History is awesome.  Though, I do wonder who woke up the human alarm clocks.
• I started reading Sailor Moon recently and just found out they're remaking the anime.  So stoked!
• This is a look inside my brain whenever I go to Target. 

• Speaking of geology...how incredible is this lamp?!  Andy says it's a soul gem that was forged with the corrupted souls of demons.  Even if it is, I still want it in my house.
• Let's talk about how dreamy this dining room is for a minute.  It's pretty much perfection in my book.  That hutch!  That table!  There could be a little more pink in the room, but other than that, it's ideal haha!
• This pink couch is everything that is good in the world.
• I've been really digging bullet planters lately, as one does.  They're just so fun and kitschy!

On The Pink Samurai this week...

• I shared photos from the Austin Marathon last month.
• HOLY MOLY I MET LIL BUB!
• And this week gave us: Panic Day, Mario Day, Dream Day, Girl Scout Day, Ear Muff Day, Pi Day and Corn Dog Day.

Check out more Fun Stuff.  Spoiler alert: there's lots of cats and pink!
