Victory Over Gravity

Some of you know that I've been trying to overcome the confines of gravity for over ten years. While my feet are still planted firmly on the frozen earth of our island, I did achieve a small miracle during the month of February....


...we have yet to get it up over Luca's crib, but it is currently the only thing that will get him to stop screaming about the fact that he has majorly ouchy gums these days. We should all give a moment of thanks that we can not remember what it is like to get teeth.

Below are a few other hand-sewn confections. A bird and a little red canoe, both from organic cotton scraps left over from the Shubha days and filled with kapok. And no, the canoe did not take a dip in the harbor...that is in fact drool covering the stern.


And a Scandi mei tai I pieced together from this fantastic tutorial.


And lastly, for you viewing pleasure...Beans himself wearing momma's winter hat.
