Preemie Knotted Hat Pattern Download

Here’s a great free pattern for you.  Make a hat in 10 minutes and donate it to your local Pro-life Clinic or Newborns in Need.  It also makes a cute package topper fro your next baby shower gift.  This is my favorite baby hat because the knot helps it stay on, its super soft, and it looks so cute!  It is best sized for babies weighing 4-7 lbs.  My model, Brandon was a plump 9 lbs and though the hat worked, it was plenty snug.  Click here to get the pattern.

Magnetic Board Tutorial

I've been drolling over magentic boards for awhile from Creative Memories ($50).  Then I thought how easy it would be to make one!  Here's a simple tutorial for you.  I bought my frame at a gross garage sale for $3.  Here's the before and after pictures:

I made the board for my sewing studio to hold my design drawings and pattern instructions as I sew.  It sure looks nicer than just taping them on the wall–my former solution.
