Today is a Great Day

Today is a Great Day as the universe shares a little space for a new life to emerge and begin its journey.

I am so excited. My sister is having her baby TODAY!!! I have been holding out posting anything about the project I have been working on because it's for her. And I didn't want her to see it posted here first and spoil the surprise. But since she is at the hospital as I write this, I can safely assume she will not be on the computer for the next week or so until I can give it to her (I think she will be a little preoccupied).

Now, to prepare you for the unveiling of the blanket I would like to tell you how difficult it was for me to make it. I didn't have a pattern so I had to comprise my own measurements, seam allowance and overall construction. It would have been a breeze for a well seasoned sewer/seamstress but not for me. However, I completed it, and I am proud of myself for that.

The blanket is Doggies and Dots: one side is dots with a doggie border and the other side is doggies with a dot border.

P.S. I just got a text: the baby is 6 lbs 10 oz. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm an Auntie!!!!!
