One of a few

I've been diligently working at achieving my 30 before 30 and I'll provide more updates in the coming weeks. I have finished a few of my goals, but I'm proud of my most recent accomplishment "Crochet a blanket and FINISH it." Sarah, I should make you proud :)

As most of you know, I'm going to be an aunt soon!!! Yea! Can't wait! So, this blanket was made for my new niece or nephew. It has 125 stitches across and there are over 125 rows, so do the calculations...that's a lot of stitches. They were all out of love and I enjoyed every minute of it. I'm excited to start the next one! Maybe this time, I'll learn another stitch. :)

Jessica -- The blanket is beautiful and I know that every single stitch has your amazing signature of 'love' woven into it. Being your mom is one of my greatest blessings in life! I love you and are so proud of what you stand for!

It looks Great! I am so proud of you. I know the hard work you pust into it too. If you haven't learned a new stitch by the next time we see each other, I will be happy to show you one or two. This blanket will be nice in warm for the Baby this winter. I also love that you put a white border around it. That always helps make it looks just a little bit better doesn't it?
I just started one Seth after finishing the one for Luke. Eric wants one in the same style as Lukes but I don't know when I will get to it. He already has one but wants one that is more tightly closed.

I know the baby can't wait to snuggle in the lovely blankie that Aunt Jess made for him/her! I love you!
