Riot and Frolic

Ever since I finished last week's doodad, I'm having a hard time deciding which Pinterest Project to choose next.  I'm not putting it to a vote, but any input you have would be much appreciated.  

Plus, with the G out of town, my energy is waning fast in my usual crafty/bloggy hours and I can't imagine doing anything more intensive than posting these awesome pictures and links…

To the Batmobile!

The G finally wore through one of his fabo shirts (custom made from Heimie's, surprisingly affordable), which I had been hoping would happen ever since I saw this project from Dana at Made.  

I've checked out similar projects, but liked this final product the best and the tutorial seemed easy to follow.  

Plus- I got all the goods to make it.  Bonus.

Who doesn't need one of these?  The coffee cozy is ridiculously popular right now (it's soooooo green- *hurl something unrecycleable at the masses*) and I bet they crochet up in a hurry, so… Perfect Gift.  

Plus- I love JJCrochet.  Here's the free pattern.  Thanks, Jayna!

As I'm having my self-thrown, surprise birthday party any day now, I want some super-swank decorations to class up the joint.  This amazing wall of paper rosettes looks right up my alley.  I mean, she uses a stapler.  Staplers are under-rated.  Just ask Milton.  

Minus- I'd have to go get some neat paper, as I am even running out of the paper I printed my wedding invitations on [read: too cheap to buy a ream of printer paper and must stop stealing from the office].

Obviously, this is totally Bad Ass.  

I need it.  

It's called hair chalking and it doesn't use chalk.  Confusing?  Slightly.  But fantastic.  

Minus- requires buying oil pastels.  

Plus- I don't wash my hair very often, so I would get my money's worth!

Christmas giving, people.  It's where it's at.  And since the majority of my in-laws drink tea or coffee and are of the female persuasion, these are beckoning to me.  Hellooooo, mother in law!

DIY sugar cubes, you had me at "D".

Minus- I need some cute little ice cubes trays.  

Plus- I need some cute little ice cube trays.

This wreath was one of the first things I pinned off The Ye Olde Pinterest.  The cute Etsy store it comes from has great color and fabric combos.  You can buy a similar wreath for a present…

Not that I want to make the same one, because that would be impossible, but I do want to try this yarn-wrapped, embellished wreathy business.  And it turns out I'm a little bit awesome at making wreaths!  (More on that next week.)

Plus- I have a crap ton of yarn and fabric.

Minus- I'd need to buy a wreath form.

I love Dreamsicles and here it is in a slushie form.  

I'm sure I pinned this when I was pregnant.  

Plus- I have all the ingredients on hand.

Minus- It requires getting off the couch to make it.  

Darling readers, if you care to offer some direction, go to it.  Otherwise, I'll ponder my choices all aloney on my owny.  

That damn slushie is looking pretty good…

So it this.
