For Realz?

So I went to a baby shower this weekend (fiy if you ever have host a baby shower - skip the games and have the wine and food flowing - it was all kinds of amazing!) 

I got a lot of praise while working on the leaf blanket I made for Clilfford's cousin - and not wanting to let go of that ( I am a sucker for it), I decided to make it again - and bask in some more glory

This is what I get for being full of myself  - she got the same blanket from someone else! What are the chances of that? I did not look closely at the second one - I am sure it out shined mine x10000 

but for serious...the same blanket!!! lol - but I still love it  - and babies need all things in multiples - they make a lot of messes :)

Spring Sewing

On Tuesday I packed up my sewing machine and headed to Mandi's for an afternoon of kid free sewing. Here are my two finished projects - Unlike most things I make I will wear these! (I  am sporting the stripped on today!) Here's the link to the free pattern

Knitting > Leaf Baby Blanket

I haven't done a knitting post in a while, I have a few projects on the go, and spend a good chunk of time making the same cowl for friends. 

Clifford's cousin is having a baby girl in April so I thought I'd try making a blanket. I found this super cute pattern on Ravelry. I am really happy with except it came out a little small, so I think I will add some pattern repeats if  I make it again.
