what I did with my spare time!


Hey every one who reads this blog. So during the month of December I got this crazy and fun idea to make my five younger siblings cute Levi blankets that were specific to them. Well that project which was supposed to only take maybe a week or two turned into nearly a month and they didn't get them until after Christmas. So I was the lame sister but hey they got them!! So I wanted to thank my dear friend Kristen for coming over and fixing my mistakes and encouraging me when I needed it. I also want to thank my adorable husband for not strangling me when I made our entire house a "Work in progress". I don't think it got clean til a few days before Christmas. So enjoy the pictures of the end product. I don't I will make Doug a blanket for a while. My fingers need to heal from the needle pricks. ouch!

My house in shambles!!!


This is Bryan's "Cowboy Blanket" the teal one is Mathew's


Alizabeth's blanket and Nathanael's blanket!

Little Hannah 's way pink blanket! Well I hope you enjoyed all the pictures. Hope all is great in your neck of the woods!

Dang girl! Way to be crafty, they look fantastic! Dustin wanted me to patch up some holes in his work pants once, so I thought I was being such a good wife for doing it for him, but then I sewed the pockets shut on accident...needles to say, he hasn't asked me to fix his pants since. Oh, and I would love for you to come visit me next time your in town to see your Aunts!

It only took you a month to make 5 blankets!!! It would take me five years! Way to go!! I am very impressed and you have very lucky siblings.
