Instead of doing taxes this weekend, I made something really important: a quilt for the Princess and the Pea. My friend Rachel made this doll and her costume for a school fundraiser, and her husband Gary made the bed. Aren’t they perfect?
My contribution was the little Chinese Coins quilt on top of all the mattresses, which I embellished with lace, some of my sewing machine’s fancy stitches, and my very first yo-yos. I discovered that yo-yos are very easy to make with a special yo-yo gadget from Clover.

That’s fantastic. Some small child will really treasure this storybook scene, and probably end up making up their own stories to go with it.
