Stuff to admire, stuff to make, stuff to think about.

• Beautiful quilts from the International Quilt Festival.
• A quick quilted Christmas stocking to make out of leftover strips of fabric.
• How to achieve balance in your life. (Spoiler alert: you can’t have it all.)
• Harry Potter bookmarks and gift tags to print out.
• I could use a watercolor mentor. Maybe you could too.
• I can’t remember if I’ve shared this artist’s Instagram page before. But maybe you haven’t seen it lately. I especially love what she does with her hand-made stamps.
• Someday I’m going to take a sketching workshop.
• Gorgeous pendant lights laser-cut from corrugated cardboard.
• Quirky vintage photographs that will leave you wanting more.
• Most of what I read on Bored Panda is funny. This article is just plain interesting. People explaining why an expensive purchase was actually a great deal.
• A writer/illustrator’s process as she creates a children’s book with special meaning for her. (And there’s a book giveaway.)
• I love what Nathalie’s doing in her vintage ledger with her rubber stamps.
