When I spoke of my friend Brooke on Friday, I didn’t mention was that I was flying down to NC this weekend to surprise Brooke at her baby shower… during the worst ice/snow storm my hometown’s seen in a while. 

During my quick trip home, I’ve basically done three things: participated in baby shower related activities, eaten cake pops (I made ones that looked like little soccer, baseball, and basketballs for the shower), and slept on my parent’s living room couch, by the fireplace. 

You are probably not surprised then that today I’m writing about a designer who refurbishes chairs using her own hand knitted designs. Oh wonderful, sweater coziness!

I love that each chair is christened with a name. I wonder if they could make an Erin chair that would come with a built in Snuggie and an attached fireplace?
