\"baby-e\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Happy Friday! I’ve had an eventful couple of weeks, what with my car overheating and billowing smoke all over the highway and then losing my ipad — which is like an appendage of mine — so I was rather discombobulated. We’ve ended on a high note, however, because the car’s been repaired, the ipad returned (I left it in a cafe bathroom and someone was kind enough to turn it into the staff) and holy wow, the Secret Valentine Exchange<\/a>!!!! We clocked in with over 180 participants!!! We think there may be a couple of dupes, so we’re cleaning up the list and are going to start matching folks up. It’s all very<\/em> exciting.<\/p>\n

I was also very happy to have completed a belated gift for a friend who had a little baby girl a few months ago. I painted a mini portrait and how cute is this panda fabric?<\/p>\n

\"panda-blanket1\"<\/a>It’s a lusciously soft cotton gauze from Japan, though it’s not Nani Iro or Kokka. The selvage didn’t give me much in the way of information other than COSMO TEXTILE CO<\/a>. I checked out their website and was highly amused by their tagline of “Turning freshness into affluence…”\u00a0At any rate, I got the fabric from here<\/a>\u00a0and all that really matters is that it’s darling. I got a yard and half and made it into a swaddling blanket.<\/p>\n

\"panda-blanket2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I even busted out with some mitered corners (a bit wonky, yes, but still proud). I hope Baby E likes it!<\/p>\n

**************************************************************************<\/p>\n

Off to get my weekend started — there’s a basement in need of some purging. I’m all sorts of wild and fun. I hope you have a lovely weekend\u00a0that has nothing to do with basements!<\/p>\n

Secret Valentines<\/em>
\nReady and get set, we will<\/em>
\nsend you your partners*<\/em><\/p>\n

*Expect to receive emails on Monday, January 18th. Due to some time differences, a few may carry over into the 19th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
