I’m proud to announce that I finished all 3 birthday presents BEFORE the party this time…but less than proud to admit that the blankets were meant to be last year’s presents — last year was “the year of the blanket” for my nieces/nephews/second cousin…I finished 4 of the 6, but crapped out on these last two!

Notice the crazy crooked trim? That’s to make the ridiculously uneven squares look purposeful. I have NO idea what happened here — I must have had one too many glasses of wine when cutting these squares last year! But it ended up fun in the end, & I’m sure my 6 year old niece will like it. It’s crazy & BRIGHT — just like she is, lol.

Here are my sister’s socks — she loves Harry Potter…and is turning 21 — maybe I should have made her HP beer cozies? lol
Just a couple random links — we have a triple birthday party to attend in about 13 hours! Twist Collective’s fall issue is live (and beautiful, as always), and here is a hilarious cosplayer outfit my husband came across in his online ramblings…g’night!



They all look great! (Think you might take some time to make some fantastic stuff for YOU?)
Your niece is going to love her quilt! I’ve never seen a wonky border and I LOVE it!
Great striping on the socks!
So cute! I love the socks! I can’t wait to pick up my sock needles again.
By any chance, do you know of a good embroiderer in the Lansing area?
