Sew Me, Love Me

I haven't written more about Plush You! yet but I will. Now I got taxes to do so yeah, busy busy. I recently got this amazing book, Sew Me, Love Me: Best Stuffed Friends to Make and HIGHLY suggest you do the same. There are some adorable projects in there and I love all of their long lanky legs. It is a great book for plush dabblers and for those of you more skilled, it seems like it would still be fun to make these projects for gifts. The holidays are not far away!!!
Because I filed taxes I decided I deserved a treat...i know, a far stretch but come on! So I purchased, Blood Bank and Monsters Of Folk. I really like Bon Iver but I was a bit disappointed with Monsters of Folk. I LOVE M. Ward but this album was not as awesome as I thought it should be. Has anyone else heard it? Have thoughts?

Bend the Rules with Fabric

I am really excited about the release of Amy Karol's new book, Bend the Rules with Fabric: Fun Sewing Projects with Stencils, Stamps, Dye, Photo Transfers, Silk Screening, and More. I am currently in Cleveland and hope to maybe get a little sewing in if time permits. YAY for Amy!!!

Baby Stuff

One of my favorite parts of being in nyc was hanging out with my good friend Betsy's baby, Berrit. Berrit is 9 months and the cutest little thing in the world. I have known Betsy since middle school so I kinda felt like we were babysitting again except this time she actually gave birth to the baby we were playing with. It's great to see her as a mommy and it's great to have a baby you want to spoil. Soooo I was super excited to get back and have, Baby Stuff waiting for me. OH MY GOODNESS, this book is so sweet! It has the cutest projects to make for your favorite little ones. I can't wait to take my hand at one or all of the projects asap! Betsy and Berrit are coming to Seattle tonight so I am excited to get to see them so soon again. I might even try to whip something up this evening for her before she arrives!
