March for Dimes - Blanket Giveaways!

So, unfortunately I didn't get much response to my post about the Bloggers for Babies group that is walking for the March for Dimes...oh wait, just about no response. Haha, that's alright. Well, I really feel strongly about this cause to help with the medical costs associated with babies born prematurely or with medical complications, so I decided that I would giveaway TEN of the baby blankets that I so love to make!!

Haven't seen them? Go here to see some pictures and read the details of them. They are a soft minky dot material on one side and cotton flannel on the other and measure approximately 36"X30".

How do you get them?? Well, the first ten $25 donations to the March for Dimes through the below link, will be mailed a blanket! Not ready to spend $25? I can do two burp clothes for a $12 donation. High roller? No worries, I will send you a blanket with two matching burp clothes for a $40 donation! They make great baby or toddler blankets. Don't have a child, no worries, this will cover the next baby shower you attend!

Here is a picture of the blanket I ended up making for the last giveaway winner and one of the burp clothes I made recently.







Want to donate and have a baby blanket, burp clothes, or both mailed to you? Click on the "donate now" button below. Then leave me a comment letting me know if you would like a girl, boy, or gender neutral blanket/burp cloth. (Don't know how to comment? That's okay, I can get your e-mail off of your donation). I will get in touch with you and give you several color/pattern options. Also, I will mail these out in the order that people donate them. Please give me up to six weeks to get the last ones mailed out. Thanks!!! :)

Learning to Sew

So if you are my friend on Facebook or follow me on Instagram, this is old news. (If you don't follow me on Instagram, my name is doylesdays). A couple weeks ago I decided it was time that I learned to sew! So I went over to my parent's house for a sewing day with my mom. I had found a pretty simple tutorial on pinterest for a super cute baby blanket. Then later that week I made two more!


I love them! They are super soft minky dot on one side and a nice flannel on the other. I can't wait to make more for baby showers and other special babies in my life :)

Here of some pictures of the process:



And here are my three completed blankets so far.




I plan on doing a giveaway of a blanket in the next week or so, so keep a lookout! :)
