friday link love (Satuday edition)

Hi swappers! This Friday Link Love is coming at you from Saturday because I just have way too much good stuff to share and I don’t want it all to wait until next week. Enjoy!

• Rise of the Dead movie download

• Adorable mushroom ornament tutorial from Poopscape. (Found via One Good Bumblebee)
• Heather Bailey patchwork pincushion pattern/tutorial on the Better Homes and Garden website. Heather Bailey is a fabric designer and her blog is just about the most beautiful thing ever.
• Want to make new crafty friends, but don’t know how? Check out Whips Up’s Craft with others – a guide (or 5 ways to find new friends).
• Design*Sponge has a cool new site design and a bunch of great indie design gift guides. The “Buy Handmade” gift guide is great!
• I know that a bunch of Swap-botters will go nuts over these sequined bird ornaments made by paperblubird on etsy. (found via Modish)</a>
• The recently unveiled mascots of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics are amazingly adorable. All of you kawaii fans will like them. They were designed by an equally amazing and adorable design studio, meomi.
• And lastly, A unicorn eating a bowl of glitter. (found via Boing Boing)
