No Sew Blanket

I started and completed my no sew blanket today!! It's pretty awesome. I put a pic on Instagram and the baby's mommy liked it! Double win!
This is part of the awesome fabric shopping I did the other day before I went for a meeting at my Union Office.
On Saturday we celebrated out anniversary and LB wanted to watch a football game (and I wanted to wash my new bedding and do some crafting) so while he watched I started working on my no sew blanket. It was super fun and easy. As you can see my wee boy Jasper wanted to help out. He was an excellent weight and help the fabric in place while I cut. However I did have to move his super long tail a few times because I didn't want to accidently cut his tail.

By then end of the football game (Sadly LB's team did not win) I had my blanket complete. Now to take it with me to work tomorrow and give it to "3"'s mom! I know she likes it! I hope she's excited to get it. I also want to make another one for another mom that I know that loves to craft and has stitched the most adorable onsies for her little girl.

Anniversary

Today already promises to be a good busy day! I went and met my sister down town once she was done work. Then I dragged to her this photo place so I could get some prints made from the LA Dodgers game that we went to in September. Its my anniversary tomorrow. I'm surprising LB with some good photos that I took and then I'll tell him that we get to take them and get them framed! Its a double gift really because its my art work and it'll be up on the wall and its his favorite baseball players! 



Obviously these are unedited and uncropped! The prints are wicked amazing! Well except one. I had one of Clayton Kershaw that was too fuzzy when blown up for I've sent in a few more so then LB can pick which one he wants framed! I'm so excited!!!
Then once I was home I did the dreaded house work (well I at least got a good start on what needs to be done! and then I didn't feel like doing anymore) Now I'm going to be going out to help my aunt finish up moving from her apartment to her townhouse! Its gonna be a nice afternoon.

Finally Finishing Things

I may have previously mentioned that it was babypoloza around work lately. And I was making baby blankets for a few babies. So I'm finally getting to the last couple. I finished the stitching on one today and I'm trying to have the second one stitched as well. Then tonight hopefully me and the sewing machine can quickly zip around the edge and tomorrow I can quilt them onto their baby blankets. I may need a quick trip to the fabric store for some ribbon for an adorable bow but that's doable.

I swear a little

I don't swear a lot. In fact there are many people who most likely haven't heard me say a four letter go getter EVER! However I do find that items with swears can be fun and stress relieving. So when a friend asked me to make her tea towels that matched her Christmas balls from last year I couldn't say no! I'll try to find a picture of the balls from last year! But for now tea towels!

One completed Pillow Case

FINISHED!! Take that Jake! I finally sat down and got back to work and finished the Jake and The Neverland Pirates pillow case! It turned out awesome!! My coworker loved it and threatened to keep it. I think daddy's little girl will win when she asks for it.
I've got the pictures of the characters I'll post now and then I'll post a pic of the whole thing later tonight.

1 Finished Baby Blanket

So I put up some pictures the other day of a baby gift that me and my sister were working on. So It's finished and its been gifted and it was 100% loved. Both Daddy and Mommy loved it and hopefully little Ms. Teagan will like it when she's big enough to appreciate it. And it will be perfect in the winter time!
