More Minky Receiving Blanket Photos

Not all my family and friends "subscribe" to the cult addiction called Facebook, so I thought I would post the pictures of Andrew's minky blankets.

I'm going to try to finish a few more and Sean's quilt today.

Andrew's Quilt Is Officially Done

I finished Andrew's quilt today and I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. It's bigger than a standard crib quilt which is nice because he can use it well into his toddler years.

Sean's Rock Star quilt top is finished and I have the batting and backing material for it. I will hopefully finish it this weekend so he has a new quilt. He outgrew his baby quilt LONG ago, since it was a much smaller size.

Since I've been on a sewing kick I made some minky blankets, burp cloths, and I'm working on some diaper covers. NO, I'm not doing cloth diapers. However, during the Texas heat when Sean was a baby he wandered around in a t-shirt and diaper alot, so I thought I'd make some cool diaper covers (similar to bloomers) that were cool and funky for boys. We'll see how those turn out :)

New Blog Title

Finally got around to editing my blog title. I can't change the actual blog address, but at least the title is updated. Hard to believe I'll have to start blogging for two silly boys.

Black Tape!!

Tonight Sean earned his last and usually the hardest tape so he can test on March 5th. He got his black tape for his forms and advancing techniques. I didn't even realize he was ready to test for it. Normally Sean gets it the week before the test... apparently he's been working really hard in class and earned it a week earlier than usual. We're SO proud of him. When he was getting the tape I caught him peeking over his shoulder at me to see if I was watching. He was VERY proud of himself too.

Sean's belt test will be Saturday March 5th. I will let y'all know the time, because I think for once his test isn't at the crack of dawn so we can all sleep in a little later :)

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Sean and I are avid chocolate lovers... so when Central Market mentioned their Chocolate Festival we HAD to go see all the chocolate goodness. Sean sampled everything they had available from Ghirardelli hot chocolate to steak with a chocolate bbq sauce. What chocolate goodies did we leave with: Ghirardelli hot chocolate, dark chocolate peanut butter, and finally strawberries (the expensive pretty kind) and chocolate chips to make chocolate covered strawberries. This was my first time making them so I'm excited about how pretty they came out. Of coarse Sean was eyeballing them and would have eaten them all if I'd let him.
