Friday Fun Day

So, I don't have an insightful post today. So I'll just throw some random things out there...

1. It's official.... the WIC program is moving to McChord, we will be here for 4 more years!!!

Okay, I guess that's a big one! :) Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers about this after I wrote this post. So, the plan is to move back to our house in Lacey in the next two or three months!

2. I got busy sewing this morning and it was so much fun. It was my first solo sewing day! Everything went smoothly. I made Nicole the baby blanket she won in this giveaway and then even attempted to make a couple burp clothes for the first time. Easy peasy.



3. What's the deal with all the reruns on TV this week?! I really do not like it. But, I did start watching the new show "Missing" and think I'm really going to like it. I hope all the shows come back for next week!

4. Any suggestions on meal planning next week? Last week went great. I made all the things I set out to make and only got behind by one day. Okay okay, it was because I was lazy last week and we ordered pizza instead ;) I would love if you could comment with a link of your favorite go to meal!

5. We have a packed weekend full of fun stuff. Dinner with some family and then Hunger Games with my mama tonight, Duck's Unlimited banquet (not my first choice, but sometimes ya gotta give), church, trip to Seattle for some sight seeing, and a family dinner with my whole family to celebrate lots and lots of stuff at Buca di Beppo. What are your plans this weekend? Hope it's a good one! :)

Giveaway!!!

Hi all! As a mentioned a couple days ago, I'm going to do a giveaway of baby/toddler blanket made by ME! Check out my post here. The blankets are a super soft minky dot on one side and flannel or light cotton on the other. They have a rounded edge and measure 30"X36".



Here are the ones I've completed so far... but this is a giveaway for one that I haven't made yet. The winner will be able to tell me if it's for a boy or girl and which color scheme they would like. And ta-da, I will make the blanket in the next couple weeks and ship it out to one of my fabulous readers!!

There is a possible to entries per person,

1. Follow me through Google Friend Connect (click "Follow me" on the button the the right of this page") and tell me in a comment that you do.

2. Leave me a separate comment and let me know who this blanket would be for and feel free to elaborate on what colors/patterns you would love.

Don't have kids, still enter, I'm sure you know some special little people who would love a new blankey. These work perfect for baby showers, too! :)

I will randomly choose a winner on Sunday night.

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! :)
