Reddit con't

I don't know where people find these, or why they make them, but a good knitting cartoon is hard to come by and SO APPRECIATED!

Here's another one for you from that comment thread I mentioned last time.

This is exactly how I look when I knit

Do you Reddit?

I don't peruse Reddit. But I have friends who do! And they are kind enough to send me relevant gems every once in a while.

Like, this!

Adorable!

Here's the link to the comment thread with [disputed] source info.

A new level of functional crafting

My baby girl loves the Jenny Jump-up seat at her baby gym. So much so that my husband wants to buy one for our house! BUT, considering we have a tiny house and limited funds, it's something I can't personally justify.

HOWEVER...

You can make your own baby swing!

Gotta admit I'm a huge DIY fan, but this never occured to me.

What do you think? Would you make it?
Would you put your baby in one that someone else made?

Fat babies love costumes

Buzzfeed is always fun, and today a friend sent me a link to:

31 F**king Adorable Things To Make For Babies

There are some great things, and some "how the hell did that make this list?" things - but since 'adorable' is an objective label, I'm pretty sure I should let it go.

However, a few brought me to near tears...check out what made got added to my do list:

mermaid tail for baby!

Oak Leaf Pixie Hat

Sock monkey baby!!

UGH. so much cuteness.

Also a notable shout out to Totoro ! While I probably won't be making this (I happen to have some other Totoro item up my sleeve presently) it's absolutely worth a share.

pretty much requires me to smush my computer screen right now

Also worth mentioning - it was nice to see Shwin and Shwin make the list with their bow tie onesies! I just finished a few Sunshine dresses this weekend from their Sun and Surf collection contribution...pics coming soon.

It's also interesting that I'm already familiar with so many of the sites these items were collected from. Or more likely, a sign that I've been spending too much time web-trolling and not enough time actually crafting!

If you're craving more, check out this similar list, also by Buzzfeed:

29 Easy And Adorable Things To Make For Babies

(This one is way more my speed and again, makes me cringe to realize how much time I spend on the internet looking at crafts.)

Have you got any projects planned right now?


UPDATE: talk about MORTIFYING but I forgot to include a link to the Totoro costume - which was made by my secret online blog crush, Cherie of you & mie. She recently talked about her favorite made items on this other awesome blog and (perhaps not surprisingly?) she mentioned that the Totoro costume is the most visited item in her whole blog. I'm guessing because it is INCREDIBLY AMAZING. Just a stab.
