Brief Bits

Here's a quick round-up of what I've found on the web recently that got my creative juices flowin':

1.  From Project Nursery - Squared Feature Wall
I keep running into photos of this nursery online... I love the crispness of this gridded paint treatment.  One day, I'll have to attempt something similar.

2.  From The Purl Bee - New Year's Garland
LOVE this simple garland idea!  Will be making one for Connor's 2nd birthday party, most definitely.

3.  From Lori Danelle - DIY Hanging Bookshelf
I've highlighted a similar idea before, and this version made me fall in love with it all over again.

4.  From All Recipes - Jo's Rosemary Bread
I can't remember how I stumbled upon this bread machine recipe... but doesn't it look delicious??

5.  From Susie Harris - Mini Cake Bunting
LOVE this idea... seriously.  I can't wait to have a reason to make a fun cake!

6.  From House*Tweaking - Lamp Shade Face Lift
I've already got a roll of ribbon, and I'm going to tackle this little up-do on my master bedroom lamps.  So simple, but it adds so much without being frou-frou.

7.  From Sugar Bee - Custom Kitchen Towels
Simple towels and fabric are at the top of my shopping list right now.  These would make great gifts!

8.  From Lifehacker - Mince herbs with a drinking glass and scissors
For Christmas, I'm dreaming of either this or these... I hate the food prep process of cooking, so I'm all over anything that will make something so tedious a little bit easier.  In the meantime, I want to give this ingenious method a try.

9.  From The Birthday Blog - Giant S'mores Cake
It's a s'more!  It's a cake!  It's GENIUS!

10.  From Sugar Plum - Almond Joy Truffles
I know someone who would love to taste these...  too bad I don't live closer, Dad.  Guess you're going to have to bribe Mom.

11.  From Piccadilly Circus Designs on Etsy - Custom Birthday Shirt
Once I saw this shirt, I knew that's what Connor would be wearing at his 2nd birthday party this December... it's on order, and I can't wait to get it!

12.  From Somewhat Simple - Edible Finger Paints
Connor's favorite food is yogurt and his favorite thing to do is make a mess...  he'll LOVE this idea!

So, there you have it... 12 great finds. I hope something here inspires you, too!
