No Sew Fleece Blanket...Check!

I've been doing these blankets for years, so it didn't occur to me until I was already done that I should have taken pictures of the process, because it is really so easy!  If you can tie your shoes, you can make this blanket!  They are so warm, you can customize them (of course), you can catch fabulous deals on fabric (especially solid colors) and they make fantastic gifts!  So here's one I made for my brother, he's a chess lover.  Next time, pics and step by step instructions, I promise.


He absolutely loves it!  I had my nephew help me with cutting one of the sides, because my hands were really hurting today.  *sad face*

21 Questions

I've mainly started this blog to chronicle my craft projects, most of which will probably be found on Pinterest.  Today a co-worker came across a pin entitled "21 Questions."  It's aptly named, since it's literally just twenty-one questions you ask your child, lol.  Well my son is three, so his answers were hilarious (and weird).  So let's get to it...the first blog on my pinterest projects is dedicated to my pie loving son, Jordan.



1.  What is something Mommy always says to you?
      PIE!!!!!!! (Yeah, I don't know either people).
2.  What makes Mommy happy?
     Sad (yeah kid, waita make sense, people are reading this you know).
3.  What makes Mommy sad?
     Funny (not true.  I laugh at sad stuff, not the other way around)
4.  How does Mommy make you laugh?
     Funny (yup, I'm hilarious)
5.  What was Mommy like as a child?
     Chocolate (I was actually much lighter as a child, I'd say caramel).

11.   What is Mommy really good at?
         Grapes!  (I'm assuming getting them...this is a common after school snack...he's eating them as I type this as a matter of fact--nobody washes grapes off and puts them in a pretty little IKEA bowl like mommy).
12.  What is Mommy not very good at?
        Mrs. Blech Blech *unintelligible sounds which, even when repeated still sound like Blech Blech (No idea what that is...but he has the Mrs. part right...I'm obviously terrible at becoming "Mrs." anything).

17.  What do you and Mommy do together?

20.  How do you know Mommy loves you?
       TOO!  TOO!  (I ask again) He yells TOOOOOOO!
21.  Where is Mommy's favorite place to go?
        That way.  (I burst out laughing.  He laughs too and we head to the kitchen to get more grapes.



I'd like to add, this survey was clearly not made with three year olds in mind...these questions were answered with quite a bit of jumping, falling, banging on his shoes with the spoon I took from him this morning that he wanted to take into daycare, running around, flopping, looking at me like I was crazy and trying to watch Nick Jr.

PINNED IT!
