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.
