Sunday Favourites #63

Well, it's the first weekend of the New Year, and now that the festivities are over and life is resuming as normal, my reckoning is that it's probably the quietest and least stressful one you've had since November. Am I right? I'm confident I am. It's much calmer for me, that's for sure.

 I hope you're having a good weekend, however you're spending it. Why not grab yourself a coffee, and put your feet up to enjoy the next couple of minutes catching up with my Sunday favourites.

I'm in love with the colours and the shading used for these rose tattoos.

I love the idea of creating a Book Jar. The idea is to fill the jar with titles of books you want to read on  little pieces of paper, so you can pick one at random every time you need something new to read. You could go with books you own but haven't yet read, or perhaps work your way through a 100 Books to Read type list. I might have to do this at some point; I have so many books to get through!

I have to visit the Moomin House at Moomin World one day. It looks like a fairy tale land covered in snow.

Can you believe this macro shot of a bumble bee is actually CGI?

These things bought me hours of entertainment!

Brutus the bear was rescued when he was just a tiny cub, and raised by Casey Anderson and his family. Now full grown, the grizzly bear is so close to his humans, that he was even best bear at Mr Anderson's wedding!

I love this GIF... I've even been in a similar situation!

♥ The Story of Dominic the pit bull puppy who cuddles and comforts animal patients at Colorado Veterinary Clinic. Heart warmed.

♥ The story of Bran the golden retriever who was rescued during a flood in Atlanta.

♥ Patrick, the oldest living wombat.

♥ Some outfits I'm loving this week: Kaelah of The Clueless Girl's Guide in a stunning floral frock; this Rosey Peach look from Beck Poppins; and Chelsea of Cheesieness tumblr blog in polka dots and forest green.

♥ I loved reading Kate of Scathingly Brilliant's year in outfits post. This lady has flawless style, and her outfits are always so perfect.

♥ I think everybody should read the post This is What Disability Binarism Looks Like. Nobody should be judging a wheelchair user for being able to stand or walk a couple of steps. Ever.

♥ I cried reading It Happened To Me: I Disowned My Abusive Family, told by the brave lady of the blog "It Is Not My Shame To Bear." She tells of her life time of verbal and physical abuse from her family, and how she finally found the courage to cut them out of her life.

♥ This quote from Natasha Devon. And this one from Hilary Clinton.

♥ 25 New Year's Resolutions Every Person Should Actually Make.

♥ The Politics of Looking Sloppy and another post in response both ring true.

♥ I couldn't help but laugh at a lot of the images of 23 Cats That Forgot How to Cat.

And finally,

♥ Digital artist Catherine Nelson has created some incredible images of "floating worlds" by stitching together hundreds of nature photos. Her work is remarkable and was created with the reminder that the fate of our world rests on our numerous and diverse ecosystems.
