Instagram Friday (11.02.2012)

I've been slacking on posts this week. Ack!
I actually do have stuff to post, though, believe it or not. Hopefully soon.

Anyway, until then, here's my weekly Instagram roundup!

My hair is always awesome after a trip to the salon. Too bad I can't ever get it to look this good on my own! :P

Saw this at Target. Apparently it's one of their brands that they sell. I found it interesting because Odin (who is the father of Thor according to Norse mythology) apparently kept two pet ravens, Huginn and Muninn, which flew across Midgard (Earth) and brought information back to Odin. So I'm assuming that's why they chose the raven as the logo, given the brand name.

And yes, I am that geeky.

Saw this at Barnes and Noble. It cracked me up.

My Bullet Bill necklace!

Hulk inspired armwarmers.

SMASH!

"Who's strong and brave and here to save the American way?"

Captain America inspired warmers.

(I'm planning to post more pictures/etc of these when I get the set done. Only a couple more to go!)

Pepper apparently did not find 'Strangers on a Train' as interesting of a film as I did.

And that's all folks!

Happy Friday! :)

As Seen on Pinterest - The Retirement Survival Kit

One of my co-workers recently retired. I'm happy for her, because she really deserves it and everything...but I hate that she's leaving me! I tried to bribe her into staying. I even threatened to lock her in the office and refuse to let her go. Oddly, she didn't like that suggestion. Since she was set on this notion of retirement, I immediately began scouring Pinterest for some sort of cute retirement gift for her. I knew I'd find something there, and I was not disappointed! Fairly soon after beginning my search, I came across the 'Retirement Survival Kit'. (Photo from Pinterest - original pin link ) The pin was a link to an eBay auction, but of course my first thought on seeing it was "I can do that!". So I did. I really should have taken a better photo of it. But this is all I managed to get. So, uh, ta da! I changed a few of the items around (the original link was from the UK, so some of the items weren't available)

Bofur Inspired Hat Pattern

(Check out this handy dandy Pinterest ready graphic I made!) In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, one of the dwarves (Bofur) wore this really, really awesome hat. I fell in love with it, and decided to see if I could crochet my own version of it. Well, first I scoured the internet, hoping for a pattern, and when I didn't find one THEN I decided to make my own. And since I know there are others out there who would love to have this pattern, I'm posting it here! PLEASE NOTE: You may make items and sell them using this pattern, but PLEASE link back to the pattern and credit me as the source. It's only fair! :) The Bofur Inspired Hat Pattern You will need: Red Heart Super Saver (I forgot the actual color name, but it’s brown, okay?)

Sakura Season Bokksu

Do you like watching unboxing videos? I do! I've also decided to try my hand at making a few. I uploaded my latest one to YouTube today, which you can watch below. I did an unboxing of the Sakura Season Bokksu, which is full of absolutely gorgeous (and delicious!) snacks from Japan. Which snack would you want to try first? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W-FYsqZCzUY" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Feel free to subscribe to my YouTube while you're there. I'm trying to post some fun stuff occasionally, and would love for you to join me!
