More goodness
I wanted to highlight another blog (mothering, crafting, etc) that has had some good posts lately: angry chicken.
She writes of healthy toy alternatives that cheap, mass-produced, plastic, toxic badness that has now surfaced with all the toy recalls. (I don't think we have any toys that are affected by the recalls.) She also writes of purging plastic in general.
And she recently published a tantalizing book: Bend the Rules Sewing *ahem, gift, ahem*
Anyway, in her toy post, she gives some great ideas of toys you can make with your kids at home. My favorite, by far: the aunt sarah dolls. I love it!!

Okay, those Aunt Sarah dolls are super cute! My parents have some grandkids overseas, and I'll probably forward this post onto them, as they really want to have some kind of relationship with the kids even though they're far away. G'amma and G'appa dolls?
