Blankets

With the help of my amazing neighbor, I am learning how to sew. I went out and purchased a sewing machine about a month ago and I have been none stop sewing. Maridyn has taught me how to make rag quilts which are super easy and fun. It is a nice way for me to stay busy while Alex is at school and studying.
This was my first ever blanket. I made it for one of the girls that I babysit. Blue is her favorite color so I found this really comfy blue material and It was the worse I had blue material from one end of my house to the other. I learned my lesson really fast that I will never use this material again.



Next was a blanket for my niece Kiara (AKA Kiwi) She loves Lime green and Hannah Montana. But then again what 6 almost 7 year old does not love Hannah. They recently re-did her room in Lime green and Hot pink so for her birthday I thought this would be a fun little surpise!!!
