This is one of my super cute BMO plushies I have made, I still have a couple of these that are up for adoption on my Etsy page, they take a little while to make, but they are so adorable it’s completely worth it :)

I HATE real flowers. I think symbolically they’re horrible unless hand picked. The process of mass producing flowers is horrible and results in many workers dying early of cancer.
Also they’re the dying sexual organs of a plant.
Thats not sexy.
So I love ways to hand make flowers, it’s more creative, more thoughtful, they last longer, and no one gets health problems from then. (Y’know, unless you’re doing them very wrong.)
So here’s a nice tutorial from Blush and Bashful.

Black-hearted Bastard Brooches now available from Daisy’s Creations!
I love these. I got my boyfriend the Bernard Black one (and a lovely Bjork one!) for his birthday. I had a photo of him wearing if to post, but I’ve lost it =[ She packaged everything so nicely as well, Daisy’s Creations is pretty much my favourite Etsy shop.

Made not Manufactured: A beautiful photographic project by Steve Kenward. Steve has been travelling around the UK photographing craftspeople. It really is a beautiful project and well worth a proper look.
“Meeting the makers - highlighting some of the talented craftspeople that the UK has to offer. People that use traditional crafts to make something that still has relevance today. They are passionate about what they do and take care in everything they produce.”
I’ve been seeing “-something- in a jar” home baking tutorials for a while now, and I think this one from Something Turquoise is my favourite. This would make such a nice gift!
