Read the (sweet) writing on the wall

Our family is addicted to awesome wall graphics, but up until this point we’ve geeked out mostly around Blik decals that turn our boring walls into galleries of awesomeness. But yay!!  Today I found a new place to fulfill this inherent desire to cover every inch of blank wall with ...

Embroidered happiness

Here’s a sweet little girlie embroidery pattern from ninimakes to make a pillow out of or adorn a summer-y onesie.  Leave a comment about how you would use this pattern and Nini will email you a PDF pattern.  I’ve been excited about embroidery projects (with many thanks to the fabulous ...

The Space Projector gives your favorite kiddo some funky graphics to watch rotate gently on the ceiling or wall as they slowly drift to sleep.  I like the oil wheel slides ...
