This mini viewer craft by Véronique of Pichouline would make the sweetest, most charming little gift, so I think you should make one. Get the tutorial on the Bloesem Kids blog here.
This weekend, I chose reading over cleaning, which is something I should do more often. What do you do to restore your energy after a long week?

For quite awhile now, I’ve been kicking around the idea of getting rid of the categories in my headings (“Crafty Monday,” “Surprise Tuesday,” et. al.). It seems very repetitive, but I thought maybe they were useful to new readers stumbling across this blog. And then last night my husband suggested it without me asking, so I figured it was time (probably way past time) to ditch them. You’ll be ok, right? You don’t really care, do you? I didn’t think so.
Today’s Handmade Gallery is inspired by the many May birthdays of friends, nephews, a niece and my mom. Would you like to get any of these as gifts? Me too.

Be sure to click on all these shops – they have so much more to see. I’m especially intrigued by the ceramics of kg + ab, the variety of pretty things by Tuuni, and I cannot get enough of that Keepsake Box Ring by Yellow Goat. My girls would go crazy for one of those pettiskirts.
See also Gifts Define’s main website – I really liked the Pet Pal Suitcases, which would make a fun gift for a special little person.
