A baby blanket

A friend of mine had a baby girl recently. I know I'm already working on an off-white blanket, but I couldn't resist at least looking at potential baby blanket patterns for my next project. Ok, looking was a TRICK! I decided to at least do a few rows (ok, more than a few) to see if it was something I'll really make.

Anyway...here are the few rows. I think it'll be lovely. It has a nice edging that gives it a girly yet professional feel. The pattern is from a baby blanket booklet with "heirloom" blankets. I don't know if the blanket I make will be an heirloom, but it should be nice enough :) Now, my challenge will be focusing on the white blanket so I can finish it and then move on to the baby blanket. Baby blankets usually work up quickly for some crafty instant gratification :)

Birthday Card

Here's a quick card I made for a friend's birthday using a ready made tag card, some rub-on decals and a bubble sticker.

Blanket In Progress

Here's a quick camera phone shot of the blanket I am currently working on. It's off white. It's a basic double crochet stitch and a double crochet cross stitch. It's coming along nicely. I just need to make more time to work on it so I can get it done and work on something else :)

Posting for Posting Sake

I haven't posted to this blog since March. I figured it was time to at least give you guys something to look forward to from me on a crafty note.

I'm currently working on a blanket. It probably won't photograph well though because it's cream in color, but it will be lovely. Once I'm done with that one, I'll start a few baby blankets which should work up quickly. One of my friends had a baby a few weeks back. Another friend should be giving birth sometime this summer.

I'll also be working on a few cross stitch items that I'll frame when they are completed. There is a lovely Oriental piece that promises to be very rich and beautiful. I've not done something frame worthy yet. Just the bookmarks. I'm going to give bookmarks a break and work on a few larger pieces.

Stay tuned!
