Tiffany and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. I think it was 3rd or 4th grade when we were really good friends. When I lived in CO we got to hang out a few times and it was so great to catch up after several years! She is also expecting her first baby, a girl! And I, in my domestic stage, decided to crochet her a blanket. I searched for free patterns for a while when I found these two that I used and someday, when I have my own babies I will make them this blanket.
For the blanket part:

I love love love how it turned out, and my Tiffany friend also loved it, (and her husband thought I bought it; success!)
Look at that texture!
It's not square... but it's pretty. And I know it's white... for a baby... but it's so pretty!
Who's having a baby next? I'll make you a blanket :)

Keeping my hands busy
I recently told someone that I am unable to keep my hands still while watching TV (perfect example is right now; I'm watching TV and blogging/uploading pictures). The exception to that is when I have someone's hand to hold, (which might be one of my favorite pastimes). Alas, I'm sitting on my futon alone (yes, I have a futon-- the mattress comes in tomorrow and the comfort level will increase 500%! Don't worry, I stole giant couch pillows for the time being). Anyway....
Another problem I have is that I always like to be going. My life in Provo moved at what felt like 100 miles an hour (except when I worked, then it slowed down a bit) but I got to Colorado and needed something to do that didn't involve going to the mall, or out to eat, or frankly spending money. I don't need more stuff!
So while wandering through Hobby Lobby one day, I saw a crochet pattern and eureka! Decided to purchase yarn to make a baby blanket for my dear friend Rachel's expected baby. After all, if I won't be able to see baby Julia any time soon, I might as well make something for her! So I did, and here's how it turned out!
(I hope she's gotten it in the mail already!)
I LOVE it! So... if you're having a baby, and I like you, you might just get something from me, because It's become an addiction. I have another one in process, here's a sneak peak :)
but in white, and with a WAY better border :-)
