I have to make this week's Sunday pins post quck, because the finale of Downton Abbey is tonight and I need to steel myself emotionally for it. Anna and Mr. Bates! Mary and Matthew! And what awesomeness will the Dowager Countess bring this week?
My own past week was pretty awesome, I have to say. Good Valentine's Day, good Galentine's Day...
… although my mom's dog Dexter doesn't care much for the holiday…
Here's the image, featured on Tiny-Ass Apartment, that has been most popular on Pinterest this week (click the picture to go to the pin page)…
These two were neck and neck for Most Repinned this week. Both come from the ol' "Heh." board. Our first features some muthaeffin' cats…

I'm only a kinda-crafty gal, but I love the final look of these felted elbow patches, and the tutorial is easy enough. It sounds kind of stress-relieving too -- who doesn't want to just stab their clothes over and over sometimes?
I've been seeing these patches everywhere, and I love them! I'm not really a hearts girl, though, I think I might make an attempt at the stars from the Chicago flag, instead.
ReplyDelete@Vanessa: I've always liked leather elbow patches -- they look wonderfully professoral or librarian-like -- but to make the felted wool kind seems like so much fun! You stab the sweater over and over again! You use a cookie cutter to determine the shape! Once I figure out where to get the wool I'm going to be felting all sorts of shit.
