V-Stitch Baby Afghan

A sweet friend is expecting her first baby in a couple of weeks and following the new trend, decided to be surprised as to the gender of this little blessing. In anticipation of today's baby shower for this new mom, I made a lovely gender neutral afghan using a V-stitch design.

 

When I first began this afghan, I did not have the pink and found that it was looking decidedly male rather than gender neutral. So, at the first opportunity I headed to Jo-Ann Fabrics to grab some pink and found that it did the trick in softening the overall look.

 

 

Happy Valentine's Day

It's certainly been awhile since my last posting. Working outside the home, getting on the computer is not very high on my list of want to do's but my goal is to get back into blogging. I'm off to a great start with my family blog and am now aiming to get back into the groove with this blog. That said, here is a look at what I've been working on recently, some Valentine goodies:

 The inspiration for these came from Pinterest (perhaps my favorite website) where I saw this bag.

 I also found the images that I embroidered on Pinterest and felt they would work well for the bags

 In the end, I have some lovey gift fill bags to give to loved ones and friends

 These cute little bags were also a Pinterest find and came from a favorite blog. They were quick to put together and something the receiver can use for many things once they've enjoyed the chocolates within.
