Mess-Free Finger Painting

This is definitely Gretchen's favourite activity as of late -- and I bet your kiddos will love it too! Check out our mess-free fun over at Child Mode.

Getting Papercrafty

I don't know much about this series, but I'm loving it!

I haven't made paper dolls or anything of the like for a few years now... time to start! I bet these would look lovely hanging above Gretchen's bed.

Etsy Embroidery Love: Moxiedoll

I'm totally digging these funky bits of embroidery from Moxiedoll this morning. Suitcases, Atari and typewriters? Oh my! Visit her shop, or follow her on Twitter.

Friends, Baby Girls & Embroidery

Have I mentioned lately that I'm surrounded buy the most talented friends a girl could ask for? Because my gosh, I really am. One of Gretchen's honourary aunts embroidered this for her 2nd birthday.





Amazing, yes?







That sweet little garland is just so sweet & the backdrop is a cushy corduroy. Gorgeous. And Gretchen adores it. She likes to carry it around, turning it back and forth, spelling her name and saying, "Gretchen! Write Gretchen!" over and over.




I love that she will grow up surrounded by my wonderfully crafty chosen family. It makes my heart sing.

PS. The friend who made this also got a doily tattoo yesterday. We're twins, and I dig it.
PPS. If you're over there in Google Reader land, I invite you hop over to the blog for a moment to check out the new layout. Hope you like it!

Knitting Pattern Love

My knitting skills are limited at best, but my gosh, I'd love to be able to make these beauties from Tiny Owl's Magic Attic!

Swoon! That Fawn poncho has my heart all a'flutter... and I absolutely adore the shop name!
