I finished my 3rd sewing project of the year on Friday.  I actually have made 2 of these so far, with one more to go.  Its a nice wrap blanket for a little baby.  I don’t have anything profound to say about the pattern.  It is nicely done.  I was surprised by how big it was, but perhaps I have forgotten how big tiny babies are.  Who knows.  I also managed to make a gift tag (even though I had a card..meh) that matched by sewing fabric onto a small piece of cardstock.  I may have been a bit overly excited about that part.  Oh well.

I gave this blanket to The Arnold’s, as they venture into a new and magical part of their life soon.  Today was also a nice reminder that it is uniquely wonderful to give something to someone that you created yourself.  Even if it doesn’t get used or not quite in the way intended, you are giving not only a gift, but also a piece of yourself.  I love it!  Someone else I know is fond of reminding us of this.  She must be pretty smart.
