I did it!!!!

Oh my goodness, I learned to sew! Its official. None of that home economics stuff where you think you have it down but your teacher threads your bobbin and does everything but press your foot pedal. Thank you Heidi Witt for teaching me so well and thank you Sheila for lending me your machine!

I wanted to make some receiving blankets because the ones you buy in the store really are not big enough for a good swaddle...so a few yards of material later...here we are! I started on Friday night and I have made 5! 3 by myself I must add :)

My first attempt for my sweet baby Titus William.

Baby Jonathan Glock's and Hattie Peterson's....went a little crazy doing that "H"....don't look too close!
