Hopeful Thoughts


Creativity ... works in progress

Among my plans for this week off are several craft projects. I am hoping to create a small “stock” of these precious baby blankets and post them on Etsy in the near future. I have materials on hand to make three more, but here are the two I have created so far this week.

These blankets are made of soft, snuggly flannel and trimmed with double-sided satin that is hand stitched on. Their larger size makes them a must have for any mom. My sister keeps about a dozen on hand for her two girls so there’s always a clean one!

My other project is to turn these items into two cute pillows to adorn our hand-me-down couch.

The forms came out of some pillows I bought when we moved in, but have since lost their covers to overuse. Ryan bought me the one below for Christmas, and it needs some others to go with it.
