Baby Blanket

This blanket was long over due.  I made this for my friends daughter who is now 4 months old.  It’s only a little late (oops)  I owed my friend big time for watching K for me one day when my regular sitter was unable to take K while I was in class.

 

Returned To Work

After 3.5 years of completely being a stay at home mom, I have returned to work this week.  While I am still lucky enough to have K with me daily, I am now a nanny to a 4 year old and 19 month old sisters.  I have known the 4 year old since she was about 10 months old and the 19 month old well since she was still in mommy’s tummy.  K and P(4yo) play pretty well together, as with any setting of toddlers,  you are going to get some not getting along or tattling, but all in all they are great together.  And well A(19mo) is just a sweetie and cries when I leave. 

Along with going back to work, my husband and I have joined the gym basically across the street from us.  I am still trying to get my work schedule down completely so I can work in dinner and bedtime for K after we get home, and figure out when I get time to get over to the gym.  It will get routine here soon hopefully though.

That all being said, until we get all get into each others routines, my crafting is kinda put on hold unfortunately.  I have been trying to get some squares done for a couple blankets I am making, unfortunately though I am only averaging a square a night.  I did get a purse made for an order (photos will be coming this weekend sometime), and a pencil skirt type dress for K (also will post this weekend).  Hopefully I will get around to making a few papers this weekend as well.  I have had requests for regular size papers (8.5”x11”) as many don’t have wide format printers, but still want to use the designs.  I will create some of those for you, as well as some 8”x8” papers soon. 

Well there is where my recent crafting/posting hiatus came from.  I will hopefully get things all set here soon for me to get back into it all.

P.S. the monthly bandwidth has been reset now on Box.net so you can go back there and download again.

Afghan Order

Had another order for an adult size granny square afghan. This is the 3rd afghan this lady has ordered, she loves them! And the people she has been giving them to as gifts have been loving them as well. She also ordered a ladybug and an bumblebee, but I didn’t take pics of them cause I had or thought I had some already on this computer.

Baby Shower–Yup another!

My friend, Jill, is having a boy and I of course couldn’t resist making a blanket for him.  And then had to make a tag to attached to the blanket once it was ribbon wrapped.  It was a nautical themed baby shower so I followed the theme, however I wish I would have had some blue papers on hand instead of the greens, but it still turned out great using SCAL for all pieces.

More Afghans

The first 2 are toddler size blankets, the rest are adult sized.

   

Baby/Toddler Blanket

I found another amazing baby/toddler blanket pattern on the Bernat website, and I just fell in love with it.  This will be for a baby shower and definitely going into the Etsy store.

More Blankets

Some of these blankets were made for baby shower gifts, some for a local consignment store and some ended up for sale in my Etsy store.

Another Baby Shower

I have another baby shower to attend, and since the first blanket was a hit, I have been busy making another, and have a few more baby showers coming up that will also get a blanket as well.
