A Monster Taggie Blanket

Since I didn’t have enough leftover fabric from the crib sheet to do the backing of Huxley’s monster quilt, I wanted to make something else with some of the fabric. I settled on a taggie blanket as a great way to use up some of the fabric. One side is pure Monster’s Inc., using the…

Huxley’s Monster Quilt

A couple weeks ago, I shared with you that I was working on a quilt for my soon-to-be nephew, Huxley.  But somehow, between getting a cold, and generally being a slacker I didn’t get around to finishing the quilt until late last week. Which is pretty sad, when you realize that all I actually had…

I love looking through the periodicals section there, and occasionally pick up one of the more expensive web development magazines that…
