Blanket love...

A blanket full of stripey goodness finished for soon to be newest member of the family.  I just love how the colors came together.  

I loved them so much that a second was quickly made, just not so stripey.

I've got colors running around in my head so fast right now.  There are definitely more blankets coming soon.

A new addition...

I'm not one to just sit still and veg out so I thought why not create a bright and cheery little blanket.  One inspired by water and fish.

Perfect for the newest little guy that will be joining our family in June.  Two grandsons in June.  Quite special indeed.  I'm kind of excited to see if this little guy will share a birthday with someone like the first time or will he have a day all to himself.

Quilt love...

The quilt is finished.  

Around lunch time yesterday it was thrown into the wash and then the dryer to get all that soft, crinkly goodness into it.  Can't even think of using it until its all soft and crinkly.  Especially when it was expected to be used while watching Downton Abbey last night.  So awesome!  Is there anyone else starting to have issues with the fact that next week will be the last show of this season and we will have to wait a whole year again for the next?  I wasn't sure if I was the only one.

And of course I can't have just a plain backing on it.  So one lone block and left overs of a fabric roll was used to liven things up a bit.  Perfect.

 Since there was proper lighting going on in the craft room, Em's quilt was taken away from her for a few quick pics.  Here's is her triangle masterpiece in all its glory.

And the back, of course.  All polka dots, front and back.

All quilt modeling was accomplished with the help of the new shelves I finally put in the craft room.  Love them! they are so perfect when going out in the cold is just not an option.  It is so nice to be able to look over at everything and be able to see things to make choices.  Now if I can get the closet in the craft room looking half as nice.  Soon.
