Getting Crafty

I get so excited to find out what the gender of our baby is so that I can get things ready for him/her. I was lucky to find out we were having a boy right before our trip to Montana. Laurel and Mom really set me up with everything I'll need. Laurel gave me the cute blue and white polka dot fabric that I made into burp rags and crocheted around the edges. When I was at Walmart the other day I found that same flannel and, of course, had to buy enough to make a matching blanket. It would be criminal to have such a cute burp cloth without the matching blanket.
I am very excited about this one. My mom bought fabric at a yard sale a while ago and it is so cute. There were these colors plus pink, orange, and purple. There was enough for a quilt for my little guy plus one for Briella (Ben and Christina's little girl). I happened to be there when Mom and Laur were working on Christina's quilt and must have done a little too much ooing and ahhing so Laur designed this one for me. With Mom sewing, Laur cutting and me doing an occasional pinning (mostly sitting there eating and being thrilled it was all coming together so nicely and quickly) it was done by evening. What a great treasure for me to bring home. I finished it the next weekend and now just have to wait out the next 3 months before I get to wrap him in it. Details...
(I also scored on a blanket that Brianne bought material for and it was never made. I'll have you know it is now finished, just not on film or downloaded yet. It will be put to good use though. Thanks, Breezey!)
