What I Did During Summer Vacation, Part I

We have had a great summer vacation, so far. It keeps on going because the kids don't go back to school this year until September 9! It has been nice this summer, because the kids are older and have lots of activities, and I don't feel that I have to be taking them somewhere all the time. And, I even got some things accomplished this summer.

First off - remember the sneak peak? Oh, you don't? But it was only 4 months ago. *sigh* Yes, that baby blanket was on my design wall forEVer. But I finally finished it - and here it is.





I'm not sure if you can see it - but I stitched her name in the blanket. I hope that they see it one day.



For the back, I used one of Valori Wells Urban Flannels.



LOVE it.



And I got a little bit tricky with the signature block.



I think it looks cute. And I love the happy little heart that I accidentally stitched in. (You'll probably have to enlarge the pic the see that.)

Of course, there is one truly sad thing. We hand delivered this blanket to it's recipient - and I didn't get. one. picture. I don't even know what I was thinking. Well, I guess I wasn't thinking.

Okay, that's it for now. I'll be back soon with more summer vacation projects.
