My crafts!

I wanted to share all my crafts with my friends and family, so I decided to make a simple blog to do so.  Here are the pictures I took when I first started taking pictures of crafts I made I created a blanket to celebrate the birth of my granddaughter, Eliana. It was large enough to cover her carseat/carrier, and the turquoise ties were to tie onto the handles, and keep it off her face. It had a large tie around the edges to sinch it down, so the wind wouldn't blow it up and make her cold. It was really fun designing and making this one!

I put a hoodie on all my grandchildren's blankets. It's fun for them when they're older, but  it's also useful when the baby's out of the carrier, and the baby needs to be wrapped up in the blanket, and a tiny head needs to be covered!    

 

Here's how it attaches to the carrier.

 Here's a close-up of the tie. It was made with one of those circular knit tie makers. It was really quick and easy to make. As you can see, the blanket has a zig-zag design. It's warm, yet there's plenty of holes for the fabric to be breathable. Each of the afghans I make for my grandchildren are unique, so all you have to do is look at it, and you know which child it belongs to. It seems that the children like it that way.
