This is the rocker my mom used with all of her seven children; it is over 40 years old. She offered it to me and my husband when we found out we were pregnant {although me and several siblings have been diligently hinting at it for years}.
I scored at Joann Fabrics to recover it for [...]

My holiday break was not without projects…

We got some new sheets {Yay!} and I always have to cut and sew the enormous king size pillowcases to make them standard size. This leaves you with two pieces of fabric this size:
I used one to make a little basket liner for the nursery, with non-matching ribbon scraps to tie it on. In a [...]

… An adorable handmade quilt from Natalie Jost.
She made the quilt with her adorable Constellation fabric that she designed. And a keen eye I must say, having kept with our nursery theme: grey and yellow.
Although I’ve never met Natalie, this is what I know about her:

How have I never heard of this stuff? I wanted to find some laminated cotton to make baby bibs, with little luck. My brother found this iron on vinyl and made bibs for me out of fabric scraps. MUCH cheaper {and cuter}! Thanks Lane!
