1. The second part of Elsie's pinhole camera tutorial is up! Nate and I bought supplies for one this morning - I can't wait to play with pinhole photography!!
(also via Elsie, check out this very cool and simple tutorial for making a pinhole "lens" for your DSLR)
2. One of my favorite recently-discovered fashion blogs is The Owls are Not What They Seem. Be prepared for awesome wardrobe overload.
3. Two fabulous stitchers (and Amys!) have virtual embroidery classes running right now - Amy Cluck of Style Crush is leading Stitch School, and Amy Bindel of Early Bird Special is teaching Embroidery 101. Both look awesome!
4. I love this idea from Yes and Yes - inspirational "Karma Cards" to print out and leave in various places for strangers to find. Head to Yes and Yes for the pdf (you can also buy pre-printed cards, if you prefer not to do it yourself).
5. Mojito cupcakes? Yes please.
6. Finally, this cross-stitch pendant from Karyn at Make Something is totally fantastic! Wouldn't it be a perfect place to stitch the initials of someone you love?

Speaking of people that I love, Nate turns 27 tomorrow. This is the seventh April 11 that we've spent together - aww. We'll be celebrating with a party tonight, and something quieter tomorrow. I hope you are all having wonderful weekends!
(PS - don't forget about the Sharpie giveaway! I'm loving your creative ideas for using Sharpies!!)

I love the pin hole camera. I have my pics from when we made a pin hole camera in school.
Love the necklace.
btw--i tweeted you asking if you had any problems with any silver sharpies? I have had three and they end up writing green. I just wanted to know if its me buying old ones.
Have a great party!!
Love your nice things this week.
Hope Nate has a great birthday.

Thanks for the embroidery class heads up... & big birthday wishes to Nate! xox
I am so in love with pinhole photography! I've made three cameras so far, and am working on getting a darkroom set up so that I can work with paper instead of film. The pictures are so dreamlike and fascinating...
mojito cupcakes? divine! they look delicious!
