Hello Kitty
18 May 2012
I have the most adorable niece in the world. And I’m not biased. There is nothing that makes my spirit happier than spending time with Lana. This past weekend we went to the Minnesota Zoo.
Seriously, how cute are we together? (You’ll be seeing lots of hats, visors, and long sleeve shirts in the future since Lupus flares can be triggered by sunshine).
Lana LOVES hello kitty. I actually think it’s a bit alarming how excited she gets, and also wished I got that excited over something so simple. I found some japanese hello kitty fabric last year and bought 2 yards with the intention of making her something.
Anyone with any good ideas or patterns? I think I would prefer to make a cute bag or pillow, probably not clothing.

Hey Erica:
How ’bout a couple of pillowcases for her bed? or a pillowcase and a pair of PJ pants?
The 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge has a lot of free pillowcase patterns. Check out this page on their site:

I know about the hat thing. One of the RA meds I’m on doesn’t allow me to drink alcohol (not a problem since I didn’t anyway) and I can’t spend time in the sun, a reaction in the skin. Causes a rash, which is much more mild than the consequences you have to deal with.
But, you are fashion foward, very Audrey Hepburn!
