Softie Alphabet

Here is a project I have been eyeballing for quite some time now. Alphabet softie letters. I was a little obsessed with them for awhile but thought that Jude would just eat them. I think we’re finally past that stage, so that, in conjunction with Christmas and a friend’s son’s birthday finally enticed me to [...]
