Baby Blanket: Better Late Than Never
I feel like I’ve had this particular project in mind for ages. A baby blanket for Mister Baby Pants to match his musical crib toy I had made a few months back.
And as the Fates would have it, this simple sandwiching of a single sheet of batting between my ‘Imagine That’ and ‘Paper Airplane Dot’ fabrics (both in stores now) seemed to take nothing short of...

Yummy Printed Things
I often get asked about where I get things printed, so I thought I’d share my current love affair: moo.com. They aren’t paying me to advertise for them, which really shows how much I love their products.
