Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

For crafty folks who are nifty with a needle, you might get a little thrill out of Ume Craft‘s shop of patterns for felt plush. In the shape of foods. How funny is felt food? That, and William Shatner singing Cee Lo Green’s ‘Fuck You’.

Ok. Yes. So. I’m a sad fan of Wesley Wales Anderson. I can just see myself on the deck of the Belafonte (even though I get seasick), off to kill the Jaguar shark (even though I quite like sharks), happily kitted out in my red beanie and Team Zissou kicks (even though I hardly ever wear sneakers). And so can 5,276 others. That’s how many people petitioned Adidas to make a real life Team Zissou shoe. And because Adidas can’t be assed, folks have just got on and done it themselves. And so can you, with these detailed instructions. Go Team Zissou!

I’m not sure when Mason jars became the belle of the ball, but they’re clearly wearing the sash and tiara and lording it over the plain girls. You can’t move in girlie-blogland without stumbling across gorgeous pics of twinkling tealights in Mason jars, beautiful blooms in Mason jars, cute little animals in Mason jars. I thought I had seen it all until I saw these red velvet cupcakes in Mason jars on the Cakies blog. Recipe and all. Jarring, huh?

Pip Lincolne from Meet Me at Mike’s is super ace. When Miss Gem and the mesdames rocked up on her doorstep unannounced, instead of telling us to sod off, she invited us in for tea and brownies and a sneaky peak at Project Yellow Box. That kind of kindness deserves to be paid back in kind, so we heartily recommend you visit the Meet Me at Mike’s shop in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy in Melbourne. Or Pip’s blog if you haven’t stumbled across it already (and if you haven’t, where have you been hiding yourself?!). We also love her first book of crafty projects (pictured above) and are excited to hear that her second book Sew La Tea Do is not far away.

Carboard Safari have made it so we can feel like intrepid adventurers without the pith helmet, safari suit or all the animal cruelty. These spiffy-looking animal heads are made of cardboard and come flatpacked so you can assemble them yourself and dress them up however you may desire. Marvellous.

I hope you have all had a wonderful Easter break. I know I certainly have. Four nana naps, enough chocolate to sink a battleship and internal giggles galore (thanks to Homer Simpson I can’t hear ‘Jesus’ without substituting ‘Jeebus’ in my head). The only thing that could have made it better is UK design studio Mibo‘s Yolk Folk. Awwww.

Here’s one for our dear friend Dan and anyone else with a soft spot for swine. The Lovi Pig is the brainchild of Finnish designer Anne Paso and is part of a series of adorable pop out postcards the receiver assembles themselves. We love them all but this little piggy has to be our favourite.

Our friend Nicole is cute-as-a-button. We also think she is hiding a secret portal to another world where you get to have more hours in the day. Not only is she the whiz behind Craftapalooza - sellers of handcrafted goodness, she has a brilliant blog right here, you’ll find her at artisan markets like next week’s Unwrapped: Leederville, and she is a great mentor to market newbies like ourselves. In her spare time, she whips up tutorials like this for everybody.
