Sunday Linky Party #73 + Goodies

So I finally watched The Dark Knight Rises today and it was pretty good! I wasn't sure how Anne Hathaway would do as Catwoman (she looks more doe-eyed and innocent to me than a deceptive slinky feline), but I can't think of any complaints so far. I was really surprised by the ending! Not going to say too much about it, but it definitely was the kind of ending that fans probably wanted and had dreamed of (and very satisfying), although because it was such an ideal ending, the kind many people probably wanted Batman to have, it seemed too good to be true to me. I didn't think it was realistic, but it definitely made me happy :)

Anyway, hope you're having a great Sunday and check out the features below!

Top off your beautiful cupcakes with even more beautiful decorations: flower cupcake toppers! These are so pretty, your guests will want to keep them and take them home. Get this tutorial at Twigg Studios and check out her ombre ribbons, turning your paintings into digital art tutorial, and printing on tissue paper tutorial.

Make these cute mini fabric rosette necklaces with old necklace chains and no jewelry-making tools! Yep, pretty simple and adorable. Find this at A Rosie Sweet Home.

Do you like this dress? I do! I like simple dresses that are flattering and forgiving, and I like them even more if they're simple to make :) If you want a dress like this, head over to Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom for the tutorial.

For those who have toddlers around or are just easily amused by floating things, these toddler sensory bottles would make a great addition to your other toys. They're really easy to make, and very customizable because you can put anything you want in them! Maybe you can even put some blue food dye and make a space or ocean scene! Check this out at Hubby Made Me.

Unfortunately, this is not a tutorial for this beautiful patchwork clutch, it's a giveaway! And it's not over yet, so if you'd like to get your hands on this, head over to Sew Happiness to enter.

Fulfill your chocolate craving (especially during breakfast, but this could make a great dinner, too) with a stack of choco-mallow pancakes! Hmm...these look sooo good, I wish they would magically appear in front of me right now. Get this recipe at Back 4 Seconds! Try the chocolate-dipped strawberry cookies and chocolate chip cheesecake cookie pies, too.

For another chocolate fix, make these 3-ingredient Nutella donuts (which are actually baked and not fried). If you don't have donut pans, I suppose you can always turn these into cupcakes :) Get this at A Little Nosh and a pattypan squash casserole, too.

For something interesting and somewhat healthy, how about a poppy seed avocado cake? The frosting is avocado and the cake is poppy seed. I'm seriously interested in tasting this. Just make sure those eating the cake do not have to get a drug test for a job interview the next day or something because poppy seeds do show up as something else in tests. Try this at Smart Phone Foodie!

If you want some funnel cakes but there aren't any fairs around, you can always make your own with this recipe on Making Memories. Sometimes we all get cravings so it's nice having this around. Try her root beer float cookies and double layer oreo cake bars, too.

For a cozy bowl of soup (yeah, it might be a bit too hot for that in most parts of the country), but why not? Chicken and dumpling soup is so comfortable and satisfying. Make yourself a bowl with this recipe from The Daily Dish Recipes.
