Josephine is 16 months old now and just starting to walk. With her increasing independence, including the ability to climb the stairs (!), comes a heightened need for security. This means lots of hugs and check-ins with me and with her sisters (and a fair bit of wrestling and climbing on top of them when…
Caterpillar and Butterfly: A Reversible Toy!
Once I started thinking about reversible toys I couldn't stop! The next most obvious transformation, after the chick and egg, was a caterpillar and butterfly. So here we go! I present you with this happy green caterpillar that you can turn inside out and it reverses to a butterfly! Like the chick and egg, this…

I'm really excited to finally have a pattern available for instant download! It was one of my goals for 2012 to begin to sell digital patterns and I'm so happy that the plush rubber duck got to go first. He's a cutie pie and I hope you'll love making him! In the pattern you get…
Rubber Duck Softie
I was giving Josephine a bath the other night and while we were playing with rubber duckies in the bubbles it occured to me that I should make a plush rubber duck. I did a quick search and it seems that there aren't very many plush rubber ducks around, but I think there should be!…
