Let me start by admitting I am NO crafter!!!

My Mom had amazing talent, my Sister and
my Daughter share her talent...
I'm going to blame it on becoming a Grandma ~
I made my very first blanket!!!
I used a loom with a wonderful brushed yarn ~

I plan to surprise my daughter with this tomorrow,
it's a smaller version of what I want to complete
before our granddaughter arrives in November.
My thought is that this smaller blanket can be thrown
over the carseat our just over the babe in the cradle.

Maybe she will carry it as her lovey... who knows???
I'm just so happy that I made something with so much love
for my granddaughter!!!
