you make me wanna link-link!

I have no idea why Ashlee Simpson's "la-la" is stuck in my head, but it is. Hopefully the above title will exorcise it? Even if it doesn't, here are a bunch of lovely links to help you through the weekend. I won't be here; I'll be in Toledo watching "Phantom of the Opera" courtesy of my father and sisters (tonight) and maybe visiting H&M (tomorrow morning). And on the drive I'll be knitting like a madwoman; I'm making a baby shower present right now and it's just so cute I can't stop. I'll post pictures when it's finished and given; I think the mum reads this. Anyway, on to the links! (That sounded very golf-ish, somehow.)

• How adorable are these felted brooches? Very adorable, that's how.
• love this bookshelf. And this wall. And these cards.
• um, if anyone wants to give me, say, a valentines present, any of these books would work.
• I wonder if this is as effective as my beloved carmex? I'm sure it smells better.
• brilliant way to make photos look more arty!
• I want the knitted wombat! (Scroll to bottom of post.) Wombats are seriously awesome. Almost as good as platypus. (Have I mentioned that I love Australian animals? Platypus, wombats, and koalas are my favorites.)
• when an artist makes her invitations, the results are sure to be lovely. I love the pattern on the background; I wish it could somehow be translated into wallpaper.

And that's not much, but it's all for today, because I'm tired of typing and would rather knit. Have a lovely weekend, all! Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow evening with pictures of our lovely adventures.
