Jackie’s boy’s blanket

I made this blanket for my sis-in-law's baby boy. Her nursery is in greens and browns, and anyway, I don't really like baby boy blue for boys, so the greens and brown were the perfect choice. I even invented a little alligator/lizard and sewed him on. I really hope little baby Payne (they haven't told us his name yet) really enjoys his blanket from his *favorite* aunt. 

Another crochet project completed

This baby blanket has actually been completed for a while, so I decided it needed to be displayed on my blog, too. This is for some very special friends of mine who lost their first pregnancy but will hopefully be pregnant again soon. Once the gender of said baby is known, this blanket will get a ribbon woven through the border to complete the look. Also, check out the matching hat! I love the ruffles around the edge.

I love the yarn that this is made with! I used Baby Bee "Hushabye solid" in naked. It's a super-soft, almost spongy yarn that will be so cuddly for the baby. Stay tuned for more upcoming projects as they are completed

New interest in blogging

So, I haven't been on here in a while, as you can see. I forget about my blog sometimes (probably because no one else is interested in reading it). Anyway, recently I've had a lot more time to spend on the internet (work is really slow), so I've been busy on facebook and now Goodreads (which is an awesome website for readers). If someone sent me an invite to a site for crochet-ers, I would join that one too! A new interest is trying to work up to being able to do 100 pushups at a time (right now I can do 3); Ryan found a website to help me do that, and he wants to try too! (I seriously need some arm/back/tummy definition, and I might try the 200 sit-ups program, too.) Now that I found out I can add book reviews from Goodreads to my blog, I might be on here more. Anyway, if anyone is interested in these same pursuits, let me know!
