Nov. 18, 2007 - Hopechest Treasures

One of my goals for this year was to make something for the girls' hopechests and this is what I came up with.  Baby blankets made out of the softest yarn.  My friend, Natalie, has knitted several of these soft blankets for her wee ones and I just loved holding her boys while they were cuddled in one of these cozy blankets. 

I took my girls and my niece to Hobby Lobby and let them pick out the colors.  I ended up crocheting mine simply because I can do that quicker.  I gave the blankets to them all at the same time.  They turned out so nice and I accomplished one of my goals for the year, Yeah!

Here is Emily Rose, Maggie and Breezy with their blankets.

I'm so glad you read my blog and left me a comment. I enjoyed your blog. The blankets are beautiful. I am not very handy when it comes to crafts, but that was a wonderful idea-making something for the girls hopechests. I am going to pass this on to my sister who is handy with sewing and such. By the way, I loved the pencil gift idea. I think I'll borrow it.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog. You have inspired me to hit the random blogger button and see where I land!
Those blankets look so sweet. I have afghans my mother in law crocheted for my kids when they were babies. They also have "grandma blankies", which are quilts my mother made them. They and I treasure those so much.
