The Never Ending Blanket

I FINALLY finished the Never Ending Blanket! I made a super cute Granny Square blanket for one of my nieces.  It was her Christmas present.  She loves blankets (and who doesn’t) so I wanted to make her a more grown up blanket since she is now 5 years old and the others she has are from when she was born.  I made them look like little flowers cause she is ultra girlie. Wellllllllllll I severely under estimated how big she has gotten and it was too small. So being awesome Aunt Leslie I made more granny squares to attach.  Now 2 months it is done.  It went from 26”x26” to 50”x50.”  My sister has already joked that I will be making this blanket bigger until she gets married. HA! It might be a good idea to have extra squares made for whenever it needs an expansion.  I used my favorite Caron Simply Soft Yarn! I’m hoping this size will last her awhile.  I love her and would do anything to see her happy face. 

Happy Crafting!

Snow on the Horizon

What is it about snow that makes you want to curl up with a cup of something warm and a blanket? Stay in your pj's? Start a fire in the fireplace? Those are things I look foward to when it's cold.

When I used to live in Colorado we had a free standing fireplace. You could put a teapot ontop and make hot water. My dad used to put snow from outside in a cup and we would throw pieces of the snow onto the fireplace and watch is sizzle away. That was always so much fun.
