Just had to pop in today for a couple updates. I’m sure you’ve heard of the Zakka Style Sew Along hosted by the lovely Lindsey of LR Stitched, right? Well, I get to be part of it, and I’m super excited about the project I’ll be sharing (you’ll have to wait until August to see it though, hope you’re patient!)

Here’s the schedule of events:
There are 24 projects in the book and they’ll be sewing right through it from start to finish.
The sew along starts Monday April 2nd with the first project in the book and will continue through Monday September 10th with a new project introduced each Monday.
Each blogger will be sewing a different project and will share their finished project and inspiration with you! How cool is that? And there’s so many awesome projects in this book, you’ll love it. Anyway, here’s the list:

And as for the babble part of the post title, I found out the other day that I’m on Babble‘s list of the top 50 Mom Craft blogs of 2012, wow wow! Now before I give my acceptance speech (haha) you should check out the list, lots of my great blogging friends are on there. If I made my list though, I think it would have to include a bunch more!
