Finished Projects

In an effort to clean off my kitchen table which serves as my craft table at times as well, I finished a few blankets I've been wanting to make for our little gal. This project was especially expedited because I really didn't want to have unfinished projects to do when she arrives - and who knows when that could be - two to five weeks (hopefully two:D). I made three blankies - or didi's as Jorgen calls them. One is a simple flannel on flannel that is brown on the back and this cute green/brown/blue on the front. Another is a cute, bright, dotted flannel with channel on the back - oh, so soft and cozy! The last was inspired by Jorgen's favorite blankie -the one and only didi. It is satin on the back and minky on the front. When I ask him who the blankie is for he always says it's for the baby but I know he secretly wants it to be his. He snuggles in it and says, 'didi' oh so enviously! Pink is totally a boy color now, right? Either way, we're saving this for his sister.

I am impressed with your blanket making skills or rather "didi" making skill. Can't wait to cuddle the little sweetheart that is soon to join our family. She is so blessed to have you, Justin and Jorgen to welcome her and all the rest of her family also.
Love you lots!
