This blanket has made its way to its recipient, my new nephew. It’s a kind of grown up looking pattern, because I expect him to be an aesthetically dignified baby, but in washable fuzzy yarn for snuggles.

I offered to write “Happy 7th Birthday” in the speech balloon, but my daughter said that didn’t make sense.
She had a very specific vision, which was for me to render this Squirrel Girl panel in buttercream so she could eat Hippo the Hippo’s face.

If you live in Illinois, you can call your state rep in support of this HB2827. The last letter to the editor (by @whitneyfharrison.bsky.social and others) in the Chicago Tribune lays out why.

After we spent an afternoon at the Art Institute this week, the 9 year old rushed to his room to build a LEGO model “while I still remember the details of what inspired me.”
