For a native Dutch speaker, the word ‘muslin’ is really odd – every time I say it, or write it down without thinking, I say/write ‘muslims’, who are really cool as well, but generally not sold at Ikea…

These three musliN squares are, and have been cheering up my baby’s changing pillow for a while now. The white one is obviously not very special, so that one stays in the nappy bag (or in the closet, if it doesn’t want to come out) but the stripy one I love, and the one with the blue and lime-green animals is my absolute favourite! Something that you should definitely pick up next time you’re at Ikea…
