Spoonflower's latest contest is for cloth baby books. I love this week's winner, the adorable To the Circus! This would be a great gift for the tots in your life. The fabric also comes printed with images to make a strongman and lion softie and a bib, to boot!

Gift Guide, Expectant Moms

Meg Allan Cole — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000

If you are like me, you have friends and sisters expecting little bundles of joy. The babies always make out like bandits with tons of cute clothes and adorable toys, but I want to be able to pamper and spoil the moms-to-be this holiday season. So here are some great ideas for those expecting moms.

Sheep Creek's Etsy shop is filled with adorable hand-felted creatures like these sloth and sheep mobiles. So sweet.

St. Kilda Jewelry has this sweet Mama ring that any mother would love.

Your favorite children's book is always a thoughtful gift to give. The Giving Tree is my very favorite, and one I have given to a few special moms-to-be.

For the active yogi mama, some all-natural yoga mat spray will keep her clean and chemical-free.

Add a handmade yoga mat bag and this yoga mama is ready to downward dog.

As a reward for her healthy lifestyle, what woman doesn't want something as soothing as Homemade Essential Oils? Functional and sweet, these handmade goods will make anyone feel special. Just double-check that the essential oils you choose are 100% safe for pregnant women.

For the last few months of taking it easy and the first few of being awake around-the-clock, handmade bunny slippers will make the transition a little cozier.

I posted a while back about an adorable letterpress robot card from Satsuma Press, drawn by owner Lynn's son Liam. It proved so popular that she now has adorable screen-printed Liam's Robot T-shirts for kids. These would be perfect for the geeky tots in your life--I know I have a few! (All proceeds go to Liam's Special Needs Trust. To read more about Liam, please visit We Love Liam.)

Virtual Planetoid Crochet Hat Pattern From Kim Werker

Rachel Hobson — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 16:00:00 +0000

It's not enough that this new crochet hat pattern from Kim Werker is over-the-top adorable, but that she uses it to reference one of my favorite movies (So I Married an Axe Murderer) makes it pure genius.

One of my favourite movies is So I Married an Axe Murderer, so it's gotta be karma that landed me the parent of a child with a gigantic head. It's a virtual planetoid. It has its own weather system.

The pattern includes three sizes, and can be worked up in just a couple of hours! You can purchase the pattern over on her web site. Check her Twitter feed for a special discount code to use through the end of November.
