NQR (Not Quilting Related)

Okay, so I know this is a blog for a quilt shop, but I also know that most quilters also do other crafts. So I thought you might like to see...


... my very first crocheted baby blanket!

No, I'm not pregnant. Nor do I know anyone who is. I started this project about six months ago or so, thinking maybe I would have it done by the time my first child is born (like, in the next 10 years or so). So I finished a bit ahead of schedule. But isn't it adorable! I'm very proud. Even though you may have noticed that I photographed it folded up instead of laying flat to hide the fact that it's not quite square. But I'm guessing my first child won't care. And isn't the doll bed adorable also? My grandpa made one each for my sister and I when were little, and my aunt made the little "mattresses", pillow, and blanket.

As if finishing my first crochet blanket wasn't exciting enough, look what knocked on the door this week.


The joy of finishing a project, only to be topped off by the delivery of girl scout cookies. Does life get any better than this? I'm going to celebrate by flipping through a few quilt magazines, trying my best not to smear the pages in Thin Mint chocolate-y goodness.
