SEWING???

My sister in-law was visiting from California several weeks ago, and she had the cutest blanket for her little son, I asked where I could get the same one, and she told me that her sister had made it, but fortunatetly she new where I could get the material...I laughed a little at this thought (making the blanket myself), but then Darin and I were at Ikea a couple weeks ago, and I saw the fabric. I purchased a few yards, and Darin put together the sewing machine my mom gave me when I graduated with my bachelors degree (he literally set up all the thread and everything), and I was on my way to a "copy-cat" blanket. Here are the precious fruits of my labor. :)
