Happy New Year’s Eve, oh prudent ones! Here is some link-y fun to end 2010.

Oh Dee Doh showcases the Best of 2010 DIY Projects. Part 1. Part 2.

I spotted these Clothbound children’s classics from Penguin while doing a bit of post-Christmas shopping and thought they would make a beautiful gift for a girl of any age. Jaime gifted Quinn a copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass for her birthday and I thought it was gift-giving perfection.

One of my own favorite store-bought gifts under the tree was a few of these Pantone Mugs. If you know anyone who is into graphic design, these would be a home run. Trust me.

I’ve already mentioned that The Quilting Bug has hit. Love the DIY for these His&Hers Personalized Baby Quilts. Nice way to stretch some quality fabric. Like the new insanely cute Tammis Keefe Tribute Fabric. 

And lastly, now that holiday madness has died down, why not enter Prudent Baby’s Salt Dough Ornament Contest to be entered to win a $50 gift card to Bake It Pretty? Make some snowflakes or get a head-start on Valentine’s Day with some pretty hearts. These cookies are real but you could easily recreate both looks with puffy paint and rubber stamps. You have until January 3rd at midnight to submit your photos. Click for details.

Oh wait but before I go, I have two very important mommy questions for you.

1. Does anyone have a free tutorial for a crocheted baby cap with ears? Or any adorable crocheted baby cap?

2. Has anyone bought a minivan lately? Which one? Do you love it? Why? We are deciding between a Sienna and an Odyssey this morning and could use your sage advice. PS. I’m sexy, I’m buying a minivan. Everyone promises I will never look back.
