Another Blanket

I just made this little boy blanket this morning. It's for a good friend, but I thought I'd post it on here anyway because I think it's cute. :)

In Her Honor

I woke up this last Sunday morning like I do every Sunday... I got on the elliptical for 20 minutes, showered, started breakfast, got the kids clothes laid out and then went to dry my hair and put on my make-up. As I stood looking into the mirror and putting on my make-up I realized completely out of the blue, that I had missed the anniversary of my Grandmother's death. My grandma passed away 7 years ago this last January 6th. This was the first year that I didn't remember her on that day, and I felt so horrible. Then it just hit me, I could honor her on this very Sunday morning by wearing one of her hats to church. So, I got dressed and went and picked out a hat to wear. I took great pride that morning walking into church wearing HER hat. I miss my grandma all year long, every year...
About the hat - my grandma wore a hat to church every Sunday. And she wore a different hat every Sunday for a year. When she passed away she owned almost 100 hats... which we divided between my mom, 2 aunts and 6 of us granddaughters. I think that every January from now on I will wear a hat to church in honor of my grandma.

Finally....

I started sewing curtains for our Master bedroom back in September, but I put them on hold to sew all my baby blankets. Then with the holidays I didn't do any of my "project "stuff. Well, as January is a slow and boring month with cold days that you spend indoors I have started to finish some of my projects I didn't finish in the fall.
The first project to finish was the curtains in my room. I think they turned out pretty good - considering I didn't use a pattern. :) Next I plan on painting the walls a light blue in the room and bathroom. Oh, and I've started to do a little remodel with PAINT in the bathroom as well, I now have WHITE cabinets like the kitchen. Busy, Busy!
