Baby Fever

 Another star blanket. Made with light pink and yellow. Great for a little baby girl. I made this for a coworker who is pregnant with a wee little one.
 An up close picture
 I like how the border turned out. I got this pattern from hobby lobby but i also found a link on Ravelry that has the same pattern. Here it is, hope you enjoy :) http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/star-blanket-754 ive done quite a few of these, and i know i ve enjoyed every minute.
 I have had this for almost two years, its a cowboy baby quilt made for Jude when he was first born by his daddys aunt (i think that would make it his aunt too but i dont know)
 Its so beautiful, i wish i was good with a sewing machine. Ive tried sewing before but was never really happy with the outcome and gave up:(
 This is the other side of the quilt, what do you think? I just love it <3
 I told my sister i would make her something for a long time and never did so i decided to finally do so. She asked for a purse with long straps. I think i got it right!!
 The colors are alternating blueish and orangeish wool blend. Its actually pretty soft for a wool blend.
 You cant really tell from far away but ive added a flower with a cute little blue button
 Ive also added a coin purse think-a-ma-bob. I got it off a pair of shorts i bought a while back.... thought i could recycle it somehow!!!
 I made one strap in blue and the other in orange, and instead of joining the straps i made them seperate that way if my sister wanted, she could make the straps as short or as long as she wanted.
 I actually got this pattern from a link off ravelry... kinda changed it up a bit for my liking and added the flower and of course the coin purse thing-a-ma-bob :) here is the link http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/take-along-tote-archived. I would love to see pics if anyone ever made this.
Alright guys i guess im gone for now. I already have a couple f projects im working on right now so ill be back soon.
