Cowgirls

A friend of mine is due with a little girl in December... I made this crib sized blanket for her, with matching burp cloths. :) Hope she likes it... I think it turned out really cute.

More Footballs...

I sold one of my football blankets, so I decided to make another one... this is very brown. :) This is in the crib size.

More Burp Cloths

So I've made two crib sized blankets in this fabric, now I have a matching snuggly blanket, and two burp cloths. I think this is so cute... I LOVE these burp cloths... to bad I'm done having babies.

Butterflies

Tonight I finished up another girl blanket... crib size. Purple butterflies with greens, yellows, hints of pink and light blue.

TRUCKS!

I think that this turned out really cute... it's construction! :) So, because of the construction cones, I went with orange satin... I like it. This is in the crib size. Oh, and thanks to my friend Jill for buying me orange thread, so I didn't have to take my crazy kids back to the fabric store. :)


This is close up of the trucks...


And of course I had to do two matching burp cloths to go with the blanket!! :)

Combinations...

I just finished this blanket... it's pinks, purples, and greens. This is in my crib size.


I made matching burp cloths(2), and a little snuggle blanket that match. To be sold separately or together... or just pairs. But I like the options it gives. :)

A Very Long Day

It's been a long day. I just so happen to finish TWO blankets today, and a few burp cloths. This blanket is my second for the day... with two matching burp cloths. It's very pink, with white kittens, and a white satin trim. This blanket is in the "crib size".

Baseball with RED!

I made this blanket already, but with white satin, not red. I think I like the red better. And this time I have matching burp cloths. :)

Cutest Boy Blanket Yet!

This is by far the cutest boy blanket I've done so far. I really like the colors in this one, and it turned out much cuter then I thought it would. This is one of my big crib sized blankets.


This is a couple of burp cloths I also did... they could go together. :) They are just a simple blue.

Puppies

Puppies playing with red balls, with trees, paw prints, dog bones, and dog houses... kind of a busy fabric. :) With a dark brown trim, and a plain blue back. Crib size.

Big and Little

So you can have an idea of how little my little blankets look next to my big blankets. :) The pink and green one is new, and shown by itself below. The little one is SO cute, one of my husbands favorites... it's little owls. :) My little blankets aren't all a consistent size, but on average they are 24" by 21"... some are smaller and some are a little bigger. :)

And here is the pink and green, close up, from the picture above. Cute. :)

Burp Cloths

I have found something new to do with some of my fabric... matching burp clothes. They are all 10" by 24" and it's two pieces of flannel sewn together. I'm going to try make them match some of my blankets, so that someone can get a blanket with matching burp cloths. :) I'll be making them in sets of two. This one that is on my shoulder also matches a big blanket (crib size), and a little blanket, just so big for the little ones to carry around. :) I might even try sell a set of three things: 2 burp cloths, 1 snuggle blanket, and 1 crib sized blanket. :)

Footballs

Another blanket that is 42" by 35"... footballs with blue in the background, and the other side is a light blue plaid, and trimed in a dark brown satin.

Man in the Yellow Hat

Another one of my bigger blankets (42" by 35"). One side is Curious George and the other a little blue plaid. And I used yellow trim because the cartoon has so much yellow, with the man in the yellow hat and all. :) I think it turned out very cute.

Size Matters

This blanket is one I've taken a picture of already, but I wanted to show the size of all my blankets... this is my four year old daughter holding it. So, that's how big my blankets are(36"x42").


I made this a couple nights ago for my sister's little boy. Her husband is into hunting, they both don't like anything with "sports" on it. This is what I'm giving him for his first birthday, coming up in about a month. :)

CUTE...

I got this one done last night. And again, I think it turned out REALLY cute. I like the purple satin on the pink fabric. I wouldn't mind if this didn't sell, and I can keep it to give at the next baby shower I go to. :)

I finished this blanked a couple nights ago, and I think it turned out really cute. I made one like this for my nephew, but with brown satin. I didn't have any brown satin the other night, so I decided to try blue, and I think it looks really good.

Highlights

Every so often I need change, and the best way for me to get some quick change is to do something to my hair. Usually this is when I go and have it chopped off... but I just did that 6 months ago, and I'm trying to grow it back out. So, I got some highlights put in on the top. I'm still getting used to it. I use to color and highlight my hair ALL the time... but being pregnant and having small kids I haven't done any of that in some time. I'm excited to get back into changing my hair color as I feel the want to. :) Now, I just hope it grows fast... if it doesn't, I get impatient and go and get it cut short, for change and all. :)

Late Nights

I've been staying up WAY too late these days just so I can finish at least a blanket a day. I want to have at least 30 made up for the bazaar in November. So far I've made 13, and given one away (baby gift). I think this one turned out cute... I like brown and blue together.


This one is my oldest daughter's favorite, she wants me to let her keep it. So, I've made a deal with her, she can keep it if it doesn't sell at the bazaar. :) My husband said that when he looks at it he wants to eat watermelon.

This one turned out so pink that it hurts my eyes. :) But, it's very girl, very baby girl, or at least I think so.

Presentation

I decided that it would be worth a little more money, and time, to buy ribbon for each of my blankets, and tie them up. I think this gives them a professional look... it's all about presentation. :) Oh, and this is a blanket I finished this morning. I'm not a fan of yellow, but I think it looks good with the red satin.

Little Blankets

I bought this dot material to do some of the edges of some of my blankets(instead of satin), but it turned out to be too thick to use... so I have enough fabric to make two small blankets... some kids like having small soft blankets to take around with them. I'll probably try sell these at $15... they're only 28" by 29" and my other blankets are 35" by 42".
I also found out that the bazaar at my husbands work is 3 days AFTER my trip... which is the reason for making these, for some spending money. So, my cute husband made me an ad on Craigslist to help me sell some BEFORE my trip. :)

Touchdown

A "BOY" blanket... and I think it turned out pretty good. I'm always happier after finishing a blanket in PINK, but I think this looks pretty good. :)

Play Ball

Next blanket... for a boy. :) I think I might actually send this to my cousin, who just had a baby boy. I think it's very "baby" looking.

Still Sewing

I stayed up late last night sewing... until about midnight... I know that's not late to most people, but when your kids wake you up at 6:30 am you go to bed much earlier than midnight. :) I woke up this morning, at 6:30 am, with my kids... I made breakfast, and of course COFFEE. Then picked up my house for the carpet cleaners (scheduled to clean my carpets this morning, after a summer of FIVE kids running in and out with dirty feet). Anyway, while my carpets were getting cleaned, I stood at my kitchen counter and sewed another "GIRL" blanket. :) I thought it was so pretty I wanted to start it, and not a "BOY" blanket. As I'm still not sure I have anything cute enough to make a good "BOY" blanket. The next blanket I make will be a boy blanket... I think.

Two More Blankets....

So, I wanted to do a pink and brown blanket... but I couldn't find any fabric with those colors together. But I came up with this instead, and I think it works. :) I think it's pretty cute... and it's really soft.

Purple... I needed a purple one. I think this turned out really cute. The side with the crowns is also sparkly. I think it's pretty. :)

Boy Blanket

Here's my next blanket... I did this today while the little one napped, and the other two helped... sort of. :) I had a hard time finding "BOY" fabric. I thought this worked, and that it was kind of cute. I think there are more options for girl fabrics, or I'm just so used to pink and purple, I don't see any other colors. :)

Baby Blanket

I've been sewing off and on for a few months... I had to stop over the summer while my husband's cousins were in town with us. But before they got here I sewed some curtains for my kitchen and laundry room window, and for my daughter's playhouse. Then I decided to make a blanket for my nephew(soon to make an appearance any day now)... it was easy and fun.

Well, today I stopped at Joann's to get some fabric to finish up a blanket for my cousin's new little man, and I saw that the fabric I used was on sale... and the girls stuff is TOO cute. So, I stocked up, and I'm planning on making up some baby blankets to have on hand. :) This is my first... a little dark, but I thought it was a cute idea. I can't wait to make more. I really like to sew, I just wish I had more time for it.
