Pretty Pretty Paperclips!
By lilybeeI like having painty, mod-pogded hands with chipped fingernails and saw wielding calluses, they make me feel all curbly-ish and like I've been DOING stuff. But girly? Not so much. BUT I reckon a pretty paper clip rose ring would make even my paws look dainty.

Recycled DIY Robot!
By lilybeeSome questions are timeless and all important, for example, Beatles or
Stones? Batman or Superman? Pirates or Ninjas? And perhaps the most
important of all, 'would you rather have a Monkey or a Robot?' Well,
for folks coming down on the robot side, there is this fellow:
The blurb says "Turn any empty metal can into a walking, wobbling bug-eyed robot! This Tin Can Robot Kit comes with pretty much everything you'll need to take recycling to a » READ MORE
Friendly Vegetables Centerpieces
By lilybeeI do love it when Martha brings the weird, and by weird I mean completely adorable and kooky...
Who doesn't love friendly, anthropomorphous root vegetables? Not me! To make this centerpiece you'll need
- A selection of root vegetables (oooh, and I would name them... Mr. White, Mr. Pink, Mr. Blue Mr.Rogers)
Make Teacup Candles
By lilybeeTeacups with saucers make the world more ladylike and dainty and thus
brilliant. If you combine teacups and saucers and candles you get
either a tea party waiting for a place to happen or these:

How To 'Make' Soap Cupcakes
By lilybee
I love the idea of making soap but am totally scared off by the complex-science-molten-fat part. These cupcakes are super easy to do, as technically you reshape soap as opposed to making it.
Before we start I have to say that I know the 'icing' on these is pretty lame, certainly no Bakerella creation, but that is more to do with me than the technique. I am infamously horrible at cake decoration. Every cupcake I've ever made has looked l » READ MORE
Useful Labels From The Small Object
By lilybeeI love The Small Object, I find Sarah Neuburger's teeny doodle folks and their interesting life stories completely charming. While there is always room in life for little woodland pals stamps, $18,
she does more obviously useful stuff too, like these fabby freezer labels, $6

By lilybeeWant 12 Eames classics for $13.57? Done.
The only catch is that they might be a bit, well, 2-dimensional and OK sure, they're only a few inches tall, but really, aside from that they're perfect in every way. This set, available from Amazon includes all the iconic pieces and the various motifs too. If you were, say, intending to make your own wrapping paper this holiday season you could do worse than a MCM theme.

Mr. Happy (aka the Smilecup)
By DIY Maven
The only way cocoa and a cookie could be any better is if they were served on this grinning guy. The Smilecup by Psyho is actually a plate with two eyes and a half a cup for a mouth. Via.
Ribbon Up Your Bathroom
By lilybeeRealsimple has a cute way to use up the squillion meters of ribbon that you might happen to have tucked away. (Compulsive ribbon buyer? Moi?)
Whip your old shower curtain hooks off and replace them with lengths of ribbon, tie them off and snip the ends at an angle. Practical? Maybe, maybe not, but it's cheap, has big impact and it's super easy to change when you get bored.
A spot of the same ribbon sewn onto the bottom of a few hand towels wo » READ MORE

Softie Book Ends
By lilybeeThis weekend in Toronto was genuinely rubbish, wet and windy and yuck. The sort of weather that kicks good intentions in the pants. I had meant to Clear, Organize and generally Improve my closet spaces this weekend. (18 months is more than enough time to acquire a bunch of stuff). Instead I curled up reading, which lead me to make these fellows.
They are Harald and Alec, Heraldic Lions and book ends for my baby's room.
