Baby Blanket


Christopher left us this weekend for a 2 day scout leadership training campout! It was a true toss up as to who was less excited for him to go. I am glad to report though that he had a better time then he thought he would. While he was gone we girls were left to our own devices. I thought we would be able to go out and do somethings, but Avery got sick Friday and left us homebound. So Saturday I made a baby blanket for our baby boy who should arrive in 2 months! I have made a lot of quilts and blankets and have spent a good amount of hours behind a sewing machine, but this is the first blanket I have ever made all by myself with no one next to me! I finished it in about 4 hours.

Drum Roll Please...


I finished Avery's cross-stitch stocking last night! It only took me 40 days to complete it. Of course I did nothing else but cross stitch for the last 40 days. I now just need my mom to come and turn it into an actual stocking! Avery thinks she is going to get to wear it on her foot! We are one step closer to being ready for Christmas!!
