baby projects abound
This weekend I decided to make a little bunny doll for the baby, inspired by some that Meg received as a gift. Only trouble was the fabric store had such great patterns this weekend, and my husband turns out to be excellent at finding great pattern pairings. And so my one-doll project turned into a family-of-dolls project. One down, four to go!

book review & diy project: so pretty! felt
So Pretty! Felt by Amy Palanjian (a former editor of ReadyMade magazine) is a beautiful book with 24 simple projects including felt flowers, headbands, jewelry, garlands, and more.
One of my favorite projects from the book is this Graphic Table Runner (below) from designer Lindy Cline of Plytextiles. A big thanks to Chronicle Books for allowing us to share the project here! Just click the link below for the full step by step instructions.
