Whew, it's done!

Well, for the first time I've kind of created my own afghan. I used a picture off a Mary Maxim catalog. I didn't really write down my pattern since I know I won't be making another one. If I do, I'll just do it a little different. ;)

Anyway, I figure it took me over 100 hours to make this one. I just finished it up on Thursday 030906 and the baby shower is March 14th, so just in time!.

I hope and pray they don't change their minds about what the babies name is...and that it's really a girl. Otherwise this will be a "Boy named Elizabeth" with baby pink and green for his blanket. lol She's had at least 2 ultrasounds and they said girl every time so I went with it. :)

To create the cat I did it in 4 pieces and stitched it on the blanket. The ball of yarn is actually added in from when I was doing the pink section. I was thinking of doing the cat the same way but it was too complicated. I also created the name separate and stitched it on.

Well, I'm now working on yet another baby blanket. My cousin is due with twins so I'm going to make some bear buddy blankets for them. I'll post pictures of those when I'm done.

Spring break this week. Spring isn't even officially here and Paige is already in her swimming pool and the temperatures are close to 90! What kind of summer are we going to have? I think I'm going to head north for the summer. :)
