When my son was born I had several kinds of swaddling blankets, but the ones that worked best for us were single layer flannel blankets - they were keeping my son snuggled without overheating him. Also, at 30 by 30 inches they were the perfect size - just enough fabric without bunching up. And, after the swaddling period, I would take them anywhere with me because they fold neatly and fit in almost any bag... You know, you always have to have a blanket on hand when you leave the house. Also, lightweight blankets are good for those of us who live in the warmer climates. As I went through my fabric stash, I ran across flannels I almost forgot about. I made a few for the new baby (yes, coming in March, I haven't written about that at all...) and then I made a few for the shop... 

Even more fat quarters at zumzum.etsy.com. The first two are from Andover Fabrics and the rest are Robert Kaufman fabrics. 

Here is some more fabric that's available at zumzum.etsy.com now. 

We have done some remodeling on our house this year. We added a sunroom (it is our "playroom" - we had to have more space not because we have a child, but because the child has toys!), built two small decks, and remodeled the kitchen with new cabinets (go Ikea) and new appliances. We also rearranged rooms because Luka moved to a big boys room (we call it the "green" room because it has, well, green walls) and I needed more space for my hobbies and less for a home office. So my fabrics has been living in huge boxes since the summer. There is still a lot of things to do, remodeling does not just happen over night - it's an ongoing process, but recently I have started thinking about how to organize my craft room. And, I realized that I have way too much fabrics! Actually, I want to get more, but I have to clean up some of the stash to make room. I decided to offer the best fabrics for sale on etsy. I don't have a lot of yardage, it will mostly be 1/2 yards or fat quarters. Maybe I even add quilt squares... we'll see. It will be good for sash building for people like me who like to have a lot of variety vs a lot of yardage. Here is what I made available yesterday (all are Robert Kaufman prints except for 2). I will be posting more soon.
