*leaves.410 Apartment Therapy posts on my Google Reader were way too many to read, but I am so happy I browsed a couple of them because these framed leaves bring me joy. I already have a lovely 9-group in glass and copper tape gathered from Provo canyon a decade ago, but surely one more....
* switchplate covers. After painting this weekend, I sure hated to screw those ugly yellow plastic things back on the wall. What do you think of covered ones? fancies? tacky? cool kitch? Hmmm....
*still wanting to sew... newest inspiration from Golden. Except the girls both have too much clothing. I think these could be for me...ah, the clothing angst I'm feeling right now for my unfashioned self!
*fall crafts, you're calling my name!
Owl gourds?!! I happen to know a neighbor with a bumper gourd crop this year...*everything at A Toy Garden.
If anyone wants to make anything inspired by this site, go ahead and let me know, because I am IN. It's time for holiday gift planning, for real and certain! (I'm going to host a monthly small toy workshop--working on your own projects or joining me in mine--in the next couple of months leading up to the big Gifting. E-mail me if you're interested....)
*surprise balls.
Read this: from Oh Happy Day
and tell me this: can I get away with substituting Christmas stockings with surprise balls this year?
*linked animal puzzles.
I want to design my own for a bit of Santa's workshopping, but am afraid I'll just use one of these for a template: Enzo Mari's classic ($499) design:
This great one I can only find a review of:
Or maybe I'll just use my Tupperware giant cookie/jello cutter.

Lots of fun stuff. I too love the leaf print. As for the surprise balls, my host family in Germany would do surprise eggs for Easter instead of baskets. You could always tie the idea in somehow for some holiday.
I am thinking the Tupperware cookie cutters is a great start!! I don't think it is cheating. If you do decide which one to do, let me know. I would like to do one for Jackson!! I am eagerly awaiting the crafternoons, or the gift making events. Whenever you are ready!!
I think I may even make the trip up for a few "crafternoons"! Just let me know when.
you could put the surprise ball in the stockings?
