Sew Sew Fun

I took on my first sewing project these last few months and I think I've found something I could have a passion for... :) When we went to Rexburg in February my sister in law Courtney had this super cute blanket that her mom had made for Ayla and Courtney told us that they had a pattern at Porters for a really cute boy one. So naturally I went and checked it out and she was right. It was SUPER cute. So I bought the pattern and some fabrics and now 3 months later the end result:


I am so happy with the way it turned out! It took a long time to cut everything out, especially since it required going to my mom's house and using her rotary cutter and mat. But that was a good excuse to see her :) The sewing went pretty quickly, still time consuming though. And then the snipping of all the edges took a ton of time and some sore fingers, but I would do it again. Haha probably not for this baby however. We'll wait for the next one.

However, now I'm worried that I'm feeling overly ambitious. I saw this ADORABLE Yo Yo quilt in a picture that Megan showed me on facebook and I am dying to make one. Haha only I know for sure this one would be even more tedious and time consuming. Like it would probably take years to finish now that all my free time is going to be nonexistent... I'm pretty sure I won't be able to talk myself out of it though. It was used in this photography session. You cannot tell me that it's not fabulous. Plus the pictures are super cute so I'm feeling doubly inspired :)
