Since Jordan and I are poor, we decided it would be best other were resourceful for Christmas this year. Since this gift is for Lydia I can post pictures of it now without spoiling anyone's gift. Well, anyone who cares.
When Lydia was born,since it was the middle of winter, I bought various kinds of fleece fabric and made several little receiving blankets that were warmer than the paper thin ones they sell in the store. An added bonus was I could pick out patterns I liked.
Well, Lydia is now 9 months and she doesn't have much use for several warm blankets that cover half her body. Enter resourcefulness! I cut the blankets in to 9" squares and sewed them onto a large blanket! I also didn't want to have to deal with raw edges (and I thought it would be cute) I clipped the edges. So one side is neatly put together and the other is cute and fun! Go saving money!
I have plans to post my other gifts after Christmas.
Good idea! I won't tell Lydia. And you'd better not post my gifts. I don't like peaking!
