Recognize this classic little book? Well, a couple of weeks ago I went to see the play, Goodnight Moon. When I heard they turned it into a play, I was like “HOW?” Well, they did. And it was magical. Funny, sweet and only 55 minutes . The set of the play sparkled . . . like the book came to life. So, grab your kids (or go by yourself). It’s a definite “must see” if you live near Nashville.
Goodnight Moon is showing now through April 3, 2011 at the Nashville Children’s Theatre.

When I switched careers and entered the design world, I was a ball of nerves. I wasn’t sure if I made the right decision and I knew nothing about graphic design. Nothing. Nada. I didn’t know how to work a Mac, let alone any of the graphic design programs. I had never even taken an art class. As I newbie designer, I fell in love with the Print and Pattern blog. I was blown away by the designers that were featured on the blog and I could only hope that one day my designs would be so good. So, you can imagine how I felt when Bowie from Print and Pattern featured me in her book. Thank you so very much, Bowie. It meant a lot.

Look what I found! Bibs with matching bottoms. Perfect for your dribbly baby. A funny story . . . when I first saw Amanda’s bibs, I was a little confused by the name of the company, Bibs for Dummies. However, after googling the Australian definition of “dummy”, I discovered that in Australia “dummy” is another name for a pacifier. You learn something new everyday. Visit the shop here.
