blankets.

maddex and i were on a mission... we were making blankets for maddie and brody's birthday...

step 1: picking out the fabric

maddex and i looked everywhere for the most fitting fabric. i knew we needed something girly/shabby for maddie- and cool/tough for brody. we hunted every fabric store in vegas- and this is what we came up with. it was perfect. 

step 2: sewing

not going to lie- i had never sewn a blanket before... i didn't think it had to be too hard- but if i was going to do it- i wanted to do it right...and learn from the best. i called a friend of mine, linda schlauder, and she was so helpful in teaching me how to make my first blanket. (i was pretty much helpless- i had my pins in wrong. i had some extra material so in the picture i am making maddies doll a blanket also. 

the finished product- so proud.

step 3: giving

maddie adored her blanket- i love doing things for her because she is always so grateful... there were many time on my trip when out of nowhere maddie would say, "thank you auntie for making me my blanket..." ah, it melts my heart- that makes everything so worth it. - oh and of course, we couldn't forget little horse. 

b-man. always happy- just in love with his new blanket. he will appreciate it more when he is older. ;) it fits him so well- if i must say so myself... all boy, tough, soft, cuddly- a good mix. 

in the end- all i have to say is... im a sower.. and i didn't knower. watch out. :) lol. aka. justin language
