These projects are from a Japanese craft book that looks incredible. Boy would I love to make these projects! Speaking of felt, one of my dear friends surprised me with this book just before Christmas. I am dying to try some of the projects!

P.S. The ISBN for this book is 978-4-569-69995-0

Knockoff DIY: Anthro chair and Pottery Barn growth chart

Two great projects right here. I've commissioned my little brother to make this oversize ruler growth chart (thanks, Tami!), and have tucked this anthro style chair tutorial away for when we have a bit more space.

If you like the growth chart, but don't want to make one (or want a non-wood diy version) check out this Etsy shop. I love that she made them out of a bendable material. I think a heavy canvas version would be fabulous.

DIY: Make it, stitch it, sew it

It's been a while since I've posted any tutorials, but these were too good to pass by. I hope you enjoy these links and find something lovely to make. Or something lovely for your super-crafty mom/sister/friend to make for you. My birthday is just a few weeks away, and I've asked my mom to make me a couple floor pillows for our new place in N.C. Can't you just see Sebastian lounging on them while he watches Veggie Tales?

If you're in the crafting mood and don't see something here I would recommend going to say YES! to hoboken. It is the best place to find amazing DIY projects and crafts. And a site my mom found: KOJODESIGNS.

You won't even believe it, but you can make your very own Anthro style bedding. I am in awe. Thanks, Mom!

Cozy quilts

Textile | Equilateral triangle quilt

I found the pattern that I want to use when I make Seb a quilt: Equilateral Triangles! Aren't these just lovely? Both are made by CarsonToo.

Decor | A Pouf

I used to think, "What could be better than a pouf?" Well, a knitted pouf, my dear. For those of you that knit, you should highly consider making this your next project. While you're at it, you could make me one, too. Pretty please!

Free pattern here.

Seb | Booties for my guy

I just made a pair of booties for Seb and couldn't wait to share. I roughly followed this tutorial. The fabric is sherpa on one side with faux suede in a giraffe print on the other. They were surprisingly simple to make, even though I had to alter the pattern due to the thickness of my fabric. I think they turned out pretty cute.
