Sew This Style – Anthropologie Inspired Ruffle Lace Blouse from Nikki, In Stitches

Making birthday dinosaurs from Northern Deb Quilts

I dug up this pattern that I've had since the 80's (buried in a box in the basement) and made two...one for the birthday boy and one for brother Henry. It took about 8 hours to make these two...not hard, just time consuming.

I think Henry loved this more than Charlie.
