My Favorite Things Thursday

Welcome to this week's My Favorite Things Thursdays! 

It seems like these are the only kinds of posts I'm able to get together these days. Crafting is few and far between these days unfortunately. I'm hoping to get some in this weekend, but I said that last weekend, too. Sigh. 

Plans for the weekend: Research paper, more homework odds and ends, clean this crazy apartment and do a ridiculous amount of laundry, lesson plans, then craft. Hopefully the last thing on my list doesn't get pushed off the list! 

Enjoy!

Make Your Own Stationary Set by Elsie of A Beautiful Mess

I just love this blog. Seriously. Every post is so great. What a fun and easy idea for little note cards. What a great use for fabric scraps, too, right?!

Make Covered Buttons Without a Kit! by Ashley of Make It and Love It

This tutorial is great, too. I love covered buttons and those little kits can get super expensive if you use them all the time. This is a perfect, easy, and cheaper alternative! 

Refashion a Tight Top into a Flowy One by Lizzie of Cotton and Curls

This might be one of my most favorite finds recently. I think it jumped ahead of several things on my "must try soon" list. Lizzie uses panels of fabric sewn in to create this trendy flowy top. I love how the fabric is a subtle floral, too. Also, Lizzie, can I have your pants? 

Sewing an Exposed Zipper by Kate of See Kate Sew

Kate's Sewing 101 tutorials are always so great. I LOVE the look of exposed zippers. I can't wait to try this. JoAnn's has some great gold zippers right now that would be really great for this. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie by Maria of Two Peas and Their Pod on Make and Takes

This looks like it would just be so incredibly yummy. I want it really bad right now. And she made hers with Almond milk. Mm.

Onion and Poppy Seed Salad by Heather of Whipperberry

How delicious does this look! Wow! I love red onion on my salad so I knew I had to post this. Those strawberries make me feel like summer can't be too far away.
