go fish

I feel bad that my blog has been slightly neglected while I sew my orders this week, so I decided to pull out something from the past to share. I’ve been thinking about making one of these for Sofie because I think she’d LOVE it now. Last March I was trying to come up with a gift to make for a friend’s son.

I was really upset and as I went…

So for now I’m going a little overboard–because I can. Because you only turn 2 once in your…
