Sunday Favourites #339

It's Sunday, and that can only mean one thing around these parts... it's time for another batch of Sunday Favourites! Enjoy!

The cutest grocery tote bag from Eva Stalinski.

Going back to school soon? Persia Lou can show you how to paint your own palm leaf pencil pouch.

These chocolate cookie waffle pops from Studio DIY look delicious.

I love these colourful rainbow necklaces from Buried Diamond.

I really want to have a go at this colourful embroidery kit from Oh Sew Bootiful.

I'm crushing hard on all of these beautiful book collections, and all of the other gorgeous book porn on Bluestocking Bookshelf's blog. I have a couple of the Puffin in Bloom books (second to last photo above), and they are stunning.

Salty Canary's watermelon ice cream recipe sounds perfect for a hot summer's day.

A Kailo Chic Life are taking us back to the eighties with their fun DIY 80's design drink stirrers and pitcher.

 

This sunset landscape embroidery from Be Co Productions is absolutely stunning.

I love Oh Joy's colour-coordinated walls and cool colour-blocked cubbies. 

I need this TYPO shark throw!!

How cute is Bertram the Pomeranian?! He looks like a cuddly little bear cub!

A Beautiful Mess' colour pop movie ticket display is an ingenious idea for displaying old ticket stubs. I'd love to do this with all the concert tickets I have stored away in my memory box.

This brownie ice cream sandwich recipe from A Subtle Revelry sounds amazing.

Enthralling Gumption have created this funky DIY summer striped planter simply by adding washi tape to a plain white planter!

And these cactus and plant cotton applique hoops by Be Co Productions are such beautiful works of art. I really need to learn how to applique.

Lovely Links

♥ I related to Beth of Mermaid in Diguise's post about guilt and chronic illness.

♥ And also From Roses' piece about feeling lonely and the lonely slump.

♥ In Colourful Company wrote a wonderful post about being highly sensitive-  five superpowers every highly sensitive person has.

♥ Forever Amber wrote a brilliant post about 6 things that make her feel hopelessly awkward, and I related to every last one of them. Seriously, this is so me.

♥ Zoe London asks a question which has been plaguing the blogging community a lot lately-  'Is blogging dead?'

♥ I'm in love with Salt and Sea Stories' photos from the Isles of Scilly.  If I could step in to her beach photos and live in them, I would.

♥ I found these 8 comics on being an incredibly shy kid so relatable. I was the shyest kid on Earth.

♥ People are sharing pics of boyfriends "forced" to take perfect pictures of their girlfriends for Instagram. I don't know why this is so funny. 

♥ A shark was kidnapped from a Texas aquarium in a baby's pram. What. The. Actual. Fuck? 

♥ A lion is being kept on display in a small enclosure in a Turkish cafe, and this breaks my heart. How can anybody think this is an acceptable way to keep a wild animal? What's worse is somebody is allowing it to happen, and people are happy to eat there while watching the poor animal suffer. Eurgh. I hate people sometimes.

♥ Blue badges for disabled parking to be given to people with 'hidden disabilities'.  And it's definitely proving controversial.

♥ Please stop holding it against me that I can mask my pain. Trust me, somebody might be composing themselves well, but behind that smile and face of make up they can be suffering enormously.

♥ 18 taboo thoughts about chronic illness you're not the only one having. I'm sure everybody with a chronic illness thinks at least some of these from time to time.

♥ The rescue baby beaver that loves building dams in his house. This is the cutest thing I've ever seen!
