Yes, Another Project...

Ok, I promise that this isn't turning into a craft/sewing blog, but that's what I'm up to right now, so that's what I'm going to be posting about. I can pretty much guarantee that I won't be sewing quite so much when Abby comes, so I'm trying to squeeze in lots of projects now.

I finished a car seat blanket!! I didn't have or need one with Preston but I see them everywhere here and knew I wanted to make one. I found an awesome tutorial here. This project went quicker than I thought it would and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Of course I made some mistakes and I think I messed up the measuring so it's a little bigger than it should be, which is going to bug me, but oh well. I used two pieces of flannel for this but I've already gotten some super cute cotton fabric (that was 50% off at our new Joann's), so I'm thinking of making another one that might be better for when it finally warms up. Onto the next project...
