Tea Rose Home’s Self-Binding Baby Blanket

I’m hoping things will slow down enough for me to write a real blog post soon.  We’re nearing the end of the semester and things are crazy here, but I’ve been working on some fun craft projects and cooking some delicious comfort food that I can’t wait to share with you guys.

Until then, here’s a picture of the baby blanket Dawn and I made for our friend Jillian’s baby shower this weekend. I’ve had this tutorial by Tea Rose Home bookmarked for a while, so I was excited to finally get to make one of these blankets for myself.   The possibilities for color and pattern combinations are really endless for this project–I find myself hoping someone else turns up pregnant so I can make more of these sweet blankets.

We wrapped everything up in a gift basket with a few animal onesies, some baby craft books, a rubber ducky, and a Burt’s Bees baby gift set.  We, of course, forgot to take pictures of our finished work.

A Little Splurge

Well, when I say splurged, what I really mean is that I had two gift cards (one that had been hanging around since last Christmas and another that I won recently as part of an essay competition at my school) just begging to be spent. I have a moderately sized collection of craft and cookbooks, many of which I have never used, so I don’t really know why I’m buying more other than to maybe motivate me to Get Shit Done. Frankly, it doesn’t get much better than Martha Stewart and Moosewood Restaurant as far as I’m concerned. Needless to say, I’m pleased as punch and can’t wait to get to work on the recipes and projects in these two books.
