Diabetic Shock

While I was pregnant this last time, I was borderline gestational(ly?) diabetic.

What. A. Blow. 

So instead of eating the sweet, I painted them for this new baby girls room. 

I always display my art on the washer, don't you?

Even the crumbs were delicious!

Baby Blanket for he? or she?

I made this baby blanket earlier this week for a precious baby that will be making his or her debut very soon. I have done a few gender neutral blankets but I was most pleased with how this one turned out. It makes me happy:)

Baby Blanket for Generations of Women

I recently finished a pretty blanket for a darling little baby girl. 

I wanted to use purple. I am working on changing the world one woman at a time and reinventing the royal, regal color of purple. Small doses is key. Check out my pinterest board on all things purple, plum, aubergine, lavendar, lilac and everything in between. 

I came upon doing it in purple because the mama of Baby Girl is a fan of purple. Or rather she is embracing the purple once again from her childhood. I added a dash of the chevroney green for grandmother of Baby Girl. The baby's grandmother is a fan of bright, limey green ( ok, this is not exact ) but I liked the idea of tying the generations of women together. Their stories and lives are woven together, just like a quilt and the fibers that make up its being. 

This is the quilt almost wrapped. What a fun surprise that awaits Baby Girl!

Go on and get cozy this weekend!

Inspiration

I recently was looking at old pictures of my little girls nursery. Well, now its her room, 2 years ago, it was her nursery. Same room, different name. I got her inspiration from a necklace I made and I wanted to walk down memory lane before she turns 2!
