Easy Fleece Blanket

My neices were both born durning a very busy season, so I needed something fun and easy. This would also make great Christams gifts. You need a surger for this project and some pearl cotton or crochet thread. All you have to do is read your manual to see how to set up your surger for a blanket stitch and wala... a blanket. My mom has a Brother embroidery machine that has Disney on it. So I embroidered Daisy Duck on the corner to add a little more.

Kids Play Aprons

For Christmas we are making our kids a play kitchen. And if they have a play kitchen they need everything to go along with it. Therefore I made aprons. It is super easy and you don't need a pattern. First you measure accross your child's chest my son was 6 inches then you measure across their bellies, what you want the apron to cover. Make sure you add 2 inches for seam allowance. Then you measure the length and add 1 inch. Then you cut and interfacing to match the top. Do the straps, and your done. I used a overall buckle for one and little D rings for the other. My mom has an embroidery machine. I was able to embroider the cute little saying.

And so it should have begun....

So I should have had this done months ago since I started before May, but I am bound and determined to get it done. I am doing a quiet book for my kids for Christmas. My friend was actually the one who was convincing me that this is a great project and it sounded like so much fun. But now that I am into it. I keep thinking to myself what was I thinking. This is going to be a very extensive quiet book. I think the finish product will be 28 pages. So I am almost half way done. I wanted to share some of the pages I have done.
