I was browsing around etsy looking for something new, and I ran across this really cool plexi-glass brooch by AaronJoseph. He describes the Dino Brooch as unisex and kid friendly, but I think “totally awesome” is more like it. And, the best thing is, you can wear your awesome Dino Brooch on any clothing because the dinosaur is held on by a magnet instead of a pin!

Pregnancy comes with all kinds of inconvienences. You feel sick for the first three months and spend the majority of the time looking for a bathroom. It does have its advantages though, for instance, you can spend all of your free time looking a teeny cute clothes, toys and bedding and call it “planning” for your new baby. I was doing just that when I ran across babyrocksmohawks‘ Baby Viking Hat on etsy. Tell me this isn’t pure golden awesome. I was thrilled by her hot pink and “atomic blue” mohawk hats, but I think this Baby Viking Hat really takes the cake.

I’m not sure why, but crafts in the likeness of historical figures really crack me up and these bowling pins from Craftster user charmingflaws are no exception. With plaster molds, slip casting, paint and sewing, she created Ben Franklin, Marie Antoinette, Pocahontas, Ivan the Terrible, Caesar, Cleopatra and Elizabeth I. I would love to see these in person!
