Nice Things

Oh my, what a week!  Our unexpectedly long weekend has left me feeling a little disoriented, and while I'm certainly not going to complain that today is Friday, I feel like it should be Thursday.  I do have lots of nice things to share, though, so YAY for FRIDAY!

1. Make pretty (and easy!) ribbon headbands with Colette Patterns:



2. Sew up adorable matching ugly sweaters for yourself and your dog with a cute tutorial from Natalie of Hazel and Agnes:



3. I love this clever DIY knit earwarmer from Erica of P.S. I Made This (a fellow Sharpie Squad member!):

4. How funny is this free printable yeti calendar? The Curiosity Group is featuring a different 3-D calendar every month this year.  Love it!
