Cute Plush Fox Doll D.I.Y.
These plush fox dolls are a fun one-evening sewing project that you can do with even the most basic sewing skills! The following is the step.
1: Supplies Needed- Simple solid, print, and white cotton fabric, scissors, card stock, plush stuffing, sewing machine/needle and thread and child safe snap on button eyes and noses. (You can find them in the doll section at your local craft store.) 2. Cut out the back and front of the fox. We made ours an estimate 1×2 ft. 3. Cut out and trace a circle from card stock on the back of your patterned fabric. This will be for the fox’s belly! 4. Next, sew on a triangle shape for the snout with the white fabric. For the eyes and nose, make a tiny hole with scissors, poke the eyes and nose through and secure it with the back snap. 5. After you’ve sewn on the snout, sew on the belly! You’ll always want to sew on the snout first, guaranteeing that the belly won’t be too high or too low. 6. Once you’ve decorated the front, place both sides together with the outsides facing in and sew them together, leaving a small gap at the bottom. After you’ve sewn your fox together, flip him inside out and fill with stuffing! Last, hand stitch the opening. All done!
Try adding different details and embellishments to give your plush fox doll cute personalities!
The Great Floral Wave!
Last year, I featured a series entitled “Exploded Flowers” by Fong Qi Wei. The artist has launched a new collection of floral work that includes remakes of famous art pieces, such as “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” by Katsushika Hokusai and “Sunflowers” by Vincent van Gogh. They look really fantastic and so beautiful!

Former marine wins fight to adopt retired bomb-sniffing dog
After years of attempts to adopt the dog that stood by her side in Iraq, Marine Cpl. Megan Leavey will finally be reunited with Sgt. Rex, thanks to Sen. Charles E. Schumer and the support of 20,000 American citizens.
The dog handler and the bomb-sniffing German shepherd Rex served together for more than three years and through two deployments until a 2006 roadside bomb took them out of commission. Leavey, 28, recovered from her injuries, and when she completed her Marine Corps service in 2007, she attempted to adopt Rex. But her request was denied because the military determined that Rex was still fit for work.
“Rex is my partner. I love him,” Leavey said in an interview. “We have been through so much together. I’ve spent day and night with this dog. It’s a very strong bond.”
THE “SHARPIE LAMBORGHINI” GALLARDO
Graffitist Jona Cerwinske was commissioned to draw all over this white Lamborghini. Although, it is not something you would think of doing, the end result turned out quite stunning!
Read about why and how this car became a unique work of art:

Architects for Animals’ creative cat shelters
H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture used found and recycled materials to build its Cat Shelter, which cost just $100 to make and weighs less than 40 pounds.
The architectural team salvaged cardboard tubes from a local print shop, bolted them together, caulked around them and then coated them with a polymer coating for weather protection.
Shredded newspaper provides insulation inside the tubes, and translucent plastic at each end of the shelter lets sunlight filter inside.
