Baby Blanket

I recently made and finished my first sewing project.  It was a blanket for my nephew.  He is the fifth child in his family and the third boy, so really, he was in need of nothing.  I had to come up with a good gift that he didn't already had.  He didn't have a homemade blanket!  Bingo!  I had been wanted to try to make one since my mom had made one for all my kids.  I am so proud of myself for finishing it!

I loved it so much I didn't want to give it away.  But, really, I don't think it would have fit on my bed!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that blanket. It is so cozy and soft. Carter says thank you too. You can teach us how to make one as soon as I get a sewing machine.

That blanket is beautiful. The hand-made blankets we've received over the years never fail to make me smile. (I say "we" because I'm not sending them off with the children when the fly the nest. I'm keeping them to wallow in - by then, they'll be super-soft, and full of sweet memories, and just the thing to help me ease into my old age.)

He'll love it! (And so will his mom!)
