Just when I thought I’ve seen it all when it comes to tattoos, I come across this connect the dots tattoo—a great idea for hipster moms to keep their kids entertained!

Now, this tatt is straight gangster…and it’s not even finished! Love the shadows and the 3D look to it!

The Dainty Squid is sharing the progress of her beyond-awesome tattoo via Flickr but she’s not alone! The Sewing Tattoo group this image is a part of is 145 members strong, proving that sewing (among other crafts) is more than just a hobbie—it’s fo’ life!

The other day, I got a surprise message in my inbox from a gorgeous lady named Nena. Inside were pictures of fabulous earrings - bamboo style made of richly-patterned fabrics - that she makes herself. After being floored by the craft(wo)manship, I clicked on her Myspace page and saw that this talented lady has so much more to offer than the few pictures of accessories she included.

I had to share this miniature dollhouse I came across while visiting artisan Elsa Mora’s blog. On the blog she allows her readers to witness the creativity she produces on a daily basis. Everything she shares—from handmade jewelry to child-like drawings—she illustrates with very beautiful and personal stories.

Elsa made this dollhouse for her daughter because she wanted her to learn about Frida Kahlo. It took her months to complete but now that it’s finished, her daughter Natalie loves it!

See more details of this amazing dollhouse, after the jump!
