lost in thoughts #31

It’s Thursday again, so that means it’s inspiration time! I’ve got some wonderful handmade finds for you this week.

felt mounted moose head from PlanetFur’s Etsy shop

Normally I wouldn’t consider hanging an animal head on my wall because I’d be creeped out, but this felt moose is another story! Cute, soft and friendly, I can see this little guy making a nice office companion. I’m particularly fond of the green heart.

All in Pink Boutonniere from tinarie21′s Etsy shop

I really like these boutonnieres. They’re delicate, but lasting, since they’re made of fabric flowers. They seem like a great, affordable option that can be kept as a souvenir after the fact!

Orange Birds T-shirt from LaurensDesigns Etsy shop

Birds + orange = love (right?). You’ve noticed how much I like birds, haven’t you? I have a Little Miss Birder collection, so I guess it’s a bit of an obsession. And these sweet cutouts in orange patterns? Oh goodness; I’d wear this weekly (daily?)!

I was introduced to Pomplamoose’s VideoSongs when I saw their Single Ladies cover (it’s great). I wanted more, so I watched some of their other videos and grabbed some free downloads from their MySpace page. According to their description,

A VideoSong is a new Medium with two rules:

1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

I’ve been enjoying them for the past few weeks, and I especially like this cover of Edith Piaf’s La Vie en Rose. I’ll be humming it all day long.

Today’s question: Did you make anything this week? Do you have a DIY project planned for the weekend?

Lost In Thoughts is a weekly series. I started this feature because I’m inspired by the amazing things I see on blogs and Etsy, and by family, friends, readers’ comments, and life. I don’t want to keep all of these wonderful finds to myself, so I gather them together on Thursdays to share with you.
