Last Week's Links

Our Work | February 4, 2013

Big changes are happening on this blog! 
For the past three years I have started almost every Monday off with an Etsy Roudup. I have LOVED doing them. It’s so fun to have an excuse to peruse Etsy and learn about new shops and sellers.
While I love doing Etsy Roundups I discovered that I have a very low percentage of readers that actually love them as much as I do. My last reader survey revealed that only 33% of people enjoy reading Etsy Roundups. I know a lot of you still like them but I decided to try alternating my Mondays between my roundups and a new thing called Last Week’s Links. I love reading bloggers lists of things they are loving, great blog posts they have read, fabulous products they have discovered etc so I’ll be trying it out on my own blog! Please enjoy my favorite links from last week!  
1 | This tutorial on how to make DIY Felt Ball Garlands is genius! 
2 | I was able to contribute an idea to beat the winter blues at the newest issue of House of Fifty. Check it out! 
3 | I learned a lot from this article on 5 Pinterest tools and What They Do. 
4 | I rounded up my favorite valentine’s gifts for kids in the newest issue of to & from. 
5 | I am loving Emily A. Clarks’ new foyer light! 
6 | So impressed with this DIY Large Painting by Maggie Rose. I want to try making one myself! 
7 | Amazing DIY hardware made from plumbing parts. 
8 | I am really excited to try these healthy Peanut Butter Banana Oat Breakfast Cookies. 
9 | Totally swooning over these baby leggings from Candy Kirby Designs. I have got to get my hands on a pair! 
10 | I will totally be buying a set of these “Happy Mail” stickers. 
11 | Loving these beautiful customizable instagram books. 
12 | I must find a way to make this shirt mine. 
What do you guys think? Do you like this new idea or should I stick with Etsy Roundups each Monday? I’d love your feedback!

  6. I love this idea! Yours is the one of the only blogs I truly follow each day, but I always discover other great blogs from things you have linked. This is an awesome way to do that!

  22. I like this change better. I clicked on several of the links too. I didn't care for the etsy roundup although it was cute stuff. I love your blog. It's fresh and fun. I've taken almost everyone off my good reader, it was just too much but I can't stand the thought of missing out on your blog. 😉 keep it up.

  27. I always like a link post, it's fun for me to see what other people are writing and great at finding new blogs I may not of read before. I think I'd like the etsy postings for fun things like valentine's or other types of holidays or like a baby's room or party theme.

  29. I love both! I am a huge fan of the Etsy Roundups and have actually found some great things and new sellers based on those posts, so please don't stop them altogether! Love this round-up as well. And love the new look of your blog 🙂

  33. Kirsten, I'd like to echo others and say that yours in one of the handful of blogs that I read every. single. day. I really like this feature but I'd hate to see the Etsy round-ups go away entirely. Maybe do them for holidays or special round-ups? I think I said this before, but I love the new blog look.

  35. Hi Kirsten, newcomer to your blog and excited to be reading. I always love to hear what my favorite bloggers love and are reading so this post was great. But the Etsy roundup sounds amazing during the holidays or other gifting times. Maybe do it a few times a year and especially at the holidays???

  36. I have followed your blog for years! Love your Etsy Round-up & love supporting Etsians (esp. since I am one 😉 http://www.tenderbranch.etsy.com … BUT! as a stay-at-home mom who loves design (i'm guessing we are a big target audience for you?)~ this segment is so practical! love the DIY and baby stuff! and the pictures next to the links are always a nice instant-eye-candy-gratification touch 🙂 Good luck, girl!

  37. Hi Kirsten! I've been reading your blog for a few months now, but never commented before. First, I love the new layout! Second, those leggings are ADORABLE! I just found out I'm having a little girl in June and they are just too perfect! Thank you for the link! =)

  39. Each listing includes the skills taught and the suggested age for the activity.
    Thus the games like the Mahjongg Spiele as well as the Naegel machen games
    are more in demand and this is the greatest benefit or advantage of the online games.

  40. This is a common misconception which will be resolved only with firsthand experience.

    Spend some time to design a good-looking 404 page, site offline
    page, etc. It's a competitive world out there on the world-wide web, but SEO consulting can help you dramatically improve your odds of being found in the din and getting your message across. This gives your name higher credibility and better search engine rank. Since Google organic rank can bring in thousands of potential customers, search engine position service firms have made a business of promising high positions in search engine results pages. Examine in detail the shift in the customers' rank, and progress in their positions.
    Some SEO firms focus on content spinning and submitting articles.

    Lastly, make sure that you have a reliable work-at-home office.
    Its professionals would do hard work to achieve the high traffic objective and they might
    taste success in their attempt but they would desist from boasting anything about their success.

    Be sure that the SEO outsourcing company you hire is capable
    of communicating properly. It is a sagacious process that
    has become even tougher with the continuous changes in the algorithm of the major search engines especially Google.
    He has also mentioned each and every seo service. Basically, if you create links to your website
    with "ink cartridges" or "printer cartridges" in the anchor text, it will help move your website up on the search results for
    those key words. You can Google maps link for your
    website, which will be very helpful if any person search in images sections.

    This was the beginning of the thought process for my new business.
    It has been designed especially for business purposes and it
    holds biggest importance for your B2B online marketing strategy.
    The World Wide Web is an incredible source of customers and potential revenue for all types of businesses and companies in all niches.
    You will not even get to a 1 or 2 until Google has fully crawled your website or blog enough to
    give it a ranking. Such companies know the
    best about industry and market trends. Yahoo style guide.

  43. Although you can't go back to any songs, you can skip songs, mark them as ones you like or dislike, and browse the names, bands, and CD the song is on of all the songs that have played already. While the effects of antenna polarization may be interpreted as a reduction in the quality of some radio links, some radio designers often make use of this property to tune an antenna to their needs by restricting transmission or reception to signals on a limited number of vectors. It is a more reliable choice when compared to traditional concrete or wooden barriers for several reasons.

    used. One way to test yourself is to deal yourself hand after hand in
    front of a mirror and watch yourself as you react to the cards.
    You'll have to keep the phone close (on the bed or in an armband) for the app to work.

  47. The most important thing to know when you are selling an
    account is where you are going to sell. Each program will have a box
    with a checkmark, find the programs you'd like to uninstall and uncheck that box. The reason for this rather strange feature is that, as described above, apps in the Android Market are listed as they are submitted, without any testing.
