I picked up a Miss Cupcake DIY from Vault of Midnight Comics in Ann Arbor this weekend. Being the cupcake lover that I am, my mind started racing with the possibilities of what I could do. Yep, glitter and sequins were at the top of the list.

This project from Abbey of Aesthetic Outburst is fun if you have a kiddo who wants a laptop of their own but isn’t quite ready for the real deal. Using recycled materials, duct tape and fun stickers, she created a mini MacBook for her son. [via Ohdeedoh]
I like the simplicity of these felted raviolis, with their pinking shear-cut edges. This crafter also has a tutorial for felted farfalle pasta (bowties). What do you do with a pile of felted pasta? Well, I think they would look great hanging from a mobile in my room.
Seahorses are so strange! But I like them, for many reasons. Lia at Lia’s Crafty Journey (Jakarta, Indonesia) made this fantastic stuffed seahorse. She has a tutorial up in Google Docs. I don’t sew all that often, but I might try this because it makes me so happy!
This would have been so fun to have as a kid. I even had a little plastic tractor with a detachable pull-cart! A multi-colored and leveled carpet made to look like aerial views of farm land. I bet you could make something like this with carpet squares and an X-Acto.
Joel of Made by Joel strikes with his beautiful simplicity again. This time, he’s adding style to a favorite science toy: the oscillating woodpecker. Watch his video to see it in action, and then download the image and follow the step-by-step instructions on his blog to make your own!
