Dare to Give Handmade: Flannel Scarf + Stovetop Potpourri Tutorial

This week's Dare to DIY challenge was to "dare to give handmade."  This challenge is always one of my favorites.  I ran a little short on time (story of my life lately) but I'm still happy with my finished projects.

Dare to Entertain Features + Sneak Peek!

Thanks to everyone that joined Monday's Dare to Entertain party.  There we lots of great projects this week.  I'm sharing three of my favorites.  Rachel {Maybe Matilda}, Kim {NewlyWoodwards} and Katja {Shift Ctrl Art} are sharing some of their favorites as well!

First up we have the ever crafty Amber from Wills Casa.  These hand stitched napkins are simple yet elegant. They are festive without being over the top.  A nice pairing to any table setting.  (I act like I know what I'm talking about.)  They're pretty, ok?  Also, I shall steal this tablecloth when I visit her someday.  (Invitation's still open, right?)

And the world's cutest nurse.

I have lots of holiday goodness to share once I can remove myself from the couch to photograph.  Until then, let's revisit posts of holiday past.  Maybe you missed something that will rock your holiday world.  (Like this sangria that is extra popular with the Pinterest folks this year.)
