Over at Flickr there’s a set of pictures from BE Con. I know I got pretty excited going through them. Got to relive the experience a bit. Check it out if you’re curious what we experienced. There’s even a video of the Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers that ended the Lehr-B-Que and got us all outside for the group shot. I can’t go on enough about how great this whole experience was and if you get a chance to go to the next conference please do. And say hi cause I know I’ll be there.

Etsy Spotlight: Goose Baby Lovey PDF Pattern
Okay, full confession—we don’t have any babies in our life right now, but that doesn’t stop me from swooning over sweet little sewing patterns like this adorable goose baby lovey! I mean, how could you resist that soft, cuddly face and those tiny wings? It’s giving timeless nursery charm with a modern handmade twist.
This pattern comes as a PDF with a helpful English video tutorial, so it’s perfect for confident beginners or anyone wanting to try their hand at sewing softies. It’s designed to be both a comfort toy and a keepsake—just the kind of thing little hands love to hold, and mamas love to treasure.
Maybe it’s time I start putting a few baby patterns away for the (not-too-distant?) future—grandchildren stash, anyone? Even if you’re not sewing for a little one right now, this pattern is a total heart-stealer and would make the most beautiful handmade baby shower gift.
