this week's faves

Another week brings another new week of obsessions. Right now it's a combination of vintage prints and innovative home décor. But to be honest, that's kind of all the time for me!

I can't get over how wonderful and inspirational I find this knitting clock:


And the description is so lovely:
365 is stitching the time as it passes by. It is knitting 24 hours a day and one year at the time, showing the physical representation of time as a creative and tangible force. After 365 days the clock has turned the passed year into a 2-m long scarf. Now the past can be carried out in the future and the upcoming year is hiding in a new spool of thread, still unknitted.

If this is ever manufactured and available for sale I am 100% getting one. So clever and beautiful!

Someone I follow on twitter sent a link to this article about an IKEA catalogue from 1965, and now I'm obsessed with the entire site.

The color combinations are really appealing to me, especially the red, yellow, and green kitchen, and the combination of solid color accent pillows on black furniture with ash wood legs and a beige shag carpet. That way anything in that living room will match, no matter what gets thrown in. I also can't decide if I think those are model shots or it's just the staging. They kind of look like dollhouse furniture!

The ModCloth blog recently shared these photos from a 1960s beautification book that I am so in love with.


It's like face yoga, before American really knew what yoga was. So weird and awesome.

One of my favorite blogs out there is A Beautiful Mess, which recently posted this wonderful tutorial on DIY fabric patterns using Fabric Fun dye sticks.


You better believe some DIY Doctor Who pillows are in my near future!

Have a great weekend!
