Gift Exchange Part 1

I'm so very excited to be able to show you the gift that I received in the gift exchange from

Craftaholics Anonymous

I had a wonderful, wonderful person who was my Secret Santa! I have to say that she is a very crafty lady!

Check out her blog over at

Princess Crafts-A-Lot

She loves to crochet, just look at the fantastic gifts that I received :)

 Look at that b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l teal scarf!

 If only Lolly could see it :)

  Adorable plushies and bracelet!

 She even sent my little man a present! I believe that these wonderful Mater buttons will find their way into his busy book for Christmas!

She even sent more goodies tucked away in her box!

She did such a great job at spoiling me that I felt about this big for not doing the same for my recipient!

Plus, you gotta love a wonderful, talented woman who uses Vista Print! Yay!

As a teacher, it's one of my favorite places to make professional looking resources!

I'm still waiting to hear from my recipient if she had her present delivered or not. Once I hear (or on Friday, whichever comes first) I'll be posting what I made for her :)

The mighty hook!

I learned to crochet earlier this year. I promised myself that I would learn how eventually.

*sigh*

I hate that word...eventually..

I am going to start making eventually into now.

Anyways, I need ya'lls opinions. I have made a small baby blanket for a friend whose having her second boy.

I think it's cute since it's smaller and he's due to arrive in the next few weeks at the beginning of the summer.

I thought that a lightweight crib blanket would be great to just barely cover him up. However, know that it's made... I'm not sure that it was a good idea. What do ya'll think?

I did a strand of light yellow and a strand of light blue. I think it came our pretty well for a simple double-stitch blanket. Then I edged it with a single stitch into the double stitch, single chain, and then repeat all the way around.

There are one or two small areas that, if you study, don't look quite right... but I don't know if I should keep it and give myfriend something else or if she won't notice... What would ya'll do?

Even if I don't give it to her, I'm really excited that I finished a blanket (even if it's a small one) !!!
