  8. I am on chemo and find myself sitting in my big chair doing alot of hand sewing. embroidery and knitting, i would love to have the book for more to do. i run out of things to sew.it looks like a really cutie book.

  9. OMG I would so love to add this book to my collection of mini doll books. I collect the Japanese Mascot doll books and have made several of the dolls. This book would be a real gift. Add me to the list please!!

With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve.  Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve.  When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams.  She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
