Is there anything…
By Caitlin Jane in babies, love…wantier than this sofa? I snapped this at Anthropologie. It’s seriously gorgeous, all raw silk (I think!) and bright and lovely. Delicious. …sillier than skinny jeans for newborns? In GOB Bluth’s voice: “Come on!” …more relaxing than a hammock in the city?

Tiny sweater #2
By Caitlin Jane in babies, crochet, making stuff is goodIt’s green wool and stiffer than the first but just as cute. I followed the pattern more closely this time and it came out pretty much perfectly. Now I must figure out footwear. I tried today but failed miserably…
