Today was the first day of the first annual Renegade Craft Fair held in Los Angeles. It’s held in Chicago and Brooklyn and San Francisco and I barely heard about it making an appearance here. I wish I had applied. But today I snooped. I was in search of glass people. My people. And I found a few…well more than a few but not as many as I had expected or honestly had hoped for (makes me really wish I had applied). The work I did find was really cool and I plan to show off each artists’ work in the coming days. For more information on the Renegade Craft Fair check out their web site at http://www.renegadecraft.com/. After the show today the good people of etsy are hosting a little get together. I’m headed there now. More on that later…

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.
