With friends and colleagues expecting, I'm suddenly on the look out for adorable baby stuff to make. I love this blanket! I'd have to really like that friend, though. Blankets take a surprisingly long time to make!

4. Handmade, cross stitch necklaces? So cute!

This is one of those things that I covet but more because I want to figure out how to make it for myself!

3. The "It Girl Next Door" dress on Modcloth.

Have I mentioned how much I love color blocking? This dress is so me it hurts.

2. I'm kind of obsessed with patterned tights right now:

These are so beautiful I can barely contain myself. Must…save up money.

1. The greatest video to grace the internet. Video of 2013, easily. I know there's a lot of the year left, but still.
