Jack and Lily in their Bonnets =)

If you all remember, I made these bonnets ( and mittens ) for my friend Amy's twins back in May/April. At that time, they were a bit big for them, but as you can see by the pictures..they have grown right into them in perfect time for the cold weather. How adorable do Jack and Lily look in their pink and blue bonnets!!! Just too cute for words!!!

Thanks Amy for sending me these pictures...I love them =)

Granny Square Blanket























I asked my Mom to make me this blanket about 3 years ago. She started it, and got sick shortly after. She didnt get a chance to finish half before she passed away so I decided to finish it for her ( since she was making it for me ). It took me quite some time to pick it up and start working on it but then it became my mission to get the thing done!! I now understand why she hated working on it...squares with this many colors is a major pain in the ass..LOL. I finally got it finished last night and wow, its beautiful!! It matched my funiture perfectly and I just love it. I think she'd love the finished result even thought it was a pain to work on. I'll think of her each time I look at this blanket.
