New Adventure....

This idea I am implementing full force.

There is no turning back.

It started a few years ago when I was working at the Y. A co-worker sewed some fleece letters onto a fleece blanket and gave it as a present to a severely injured girl- those letters sewn on the blanket were her name..

Then a couple of years ago, I got a fleece blanket with knotted fringe for Christmas. It is warm, snuggly and handmade, therefore one of my very favorite blankets.

My friends Gabby and Larry are having a bambino near Labor Day, I decided to utilize my little knowledge and great interest to make little Bean a blanket.

I feel bad that I gave them an experiment.

I embroidered the green letters onto the red background with yellow floss then used the sewing machine to stitch it all together.

I then had an idea to resurface love monsters that my husband had drawn a few years ago. I think there were 3 or 4 to the series. I got the material to make another blanket using one of the monsters from this series.

I organized a few friends together for a potluck dinner/craft night this Friday.

There, I will make patterns and cut out my appliques to prepare my first Love Monster blanket.

Plushies, onesies, and bibs will soon follow.
