Twister Quilt

A quilt that doubles as a Twister board. Genuis. Via Ohdeedoh.

Psanky Psanky Easter Eggs

Apparently the full colour spectrum set is sold out but you can still get sets of four in pink, green, orange, and blue at the Psanky Psanky etsy shop. What a gorgeous heirloom.

Wooden Dots Christmas Tree Ornaments

We picked up these Christmas tree ornaments at Canadian Tire. They appear to be made out of tiny slices of sticks glued to both sides of what looks like a plywood sheet, then cut into the shapes of a heart and a fir tree. I'm still trying to figure out a way to makes something like this ourselves.

Vintage Dot Paint Set

Who wouldn't be inspired by this watercolor set?

Striped Felt Christmas Trees

Jenny B. Harris of the blog Allsorts designed these striped felt Christmas trees and she provides a free pattern if you want to try to make them yourself.

Christmas Decorations: Wool Pompom Ornament

This wool pompom ornament is from Anthropologie. Pompoms qualify as spots, don't they? 3D ones?

Christmas Decorations: Striped and Spotted Christmas Stickers

Striped and spotted Christmas stickers, also from The Container Store. It just occured to me that if you have sticker paper for your printer you could make these images themselves into stickers -- or any fairly sizeable images of Christmas ornaments, like the birds in the post below. We've got some of that paper, which comes in clear as well as white in either matte or glossy, kicking around here somewhere. I'm going to give it a try.

Christmas Decorations: Little Birds With Striped Hats

These little birds with striped hats are some kind of gift wrap embellishment at The Container Store but they'd make good Christmas tree  decorations. Brace yourself for more Christmas decorations -- I'm getting ready early this year.

Djeco Stickers: Lady of Circles

Available at the Victoria & Albert Museum shop.
