30th Birthday NFL Present

Our friend just turned thirty and is a Pittsburgh Steelers fan (GO BUFFALO!!) and we want to incorporate this into his gift. As any adult birthday gift it's impossible to find something worth while. However a bottle of liquor will always do the trick. Instead of an ordinary bottle I thought I was give it some character. So I bedazzled a homemade cuzzie for it and designed the Steelers logo on it. Knowing the NFL I will probably get sued for copy right infringement! Ha oh well at least the birthday boy will enjoy the scotch!!

Baby Blanket!

First off I've been terrible at blogging but I've had so much going on and now I am able to share it all with you!

I saw a blog online about this beautiful faux chenille baby blanket and I thought it looked easy enough that I could do it even as a beginner. Since completing the blanket I agree and disagree with that statement! Here is the blog I used for the quilt.

My problem was sewing in a straight line since I have a small sewing machine but that didn't ruin the look of the blanket but it made cutting a bit more difficult.

I made this for my sister and brother in-law who are having their first child this fall!! It's a boy and I couldn't be more excited. I knew she would get a ton of necessary items and I thought I would make something instead. I really couldn't be happier for how it turned out! Below are some pictures of the finished product!

I would love to make more of these but I do need a break as it was a hefty load with all of the sewing!! Thanks for reading and enjoy!
