Getting ready for beach blanket to go.

I picked out the sheets I'll use for my beach blanket to go. For the back I think I'm using a waffle weave shower curtain. Hope it sews up okay.

The first one will be a test run and it will probably be for me. If it's not too hard I may make more for gifts.

Man-this blanket would have come in handy during my youth when I went to the pool every. single. summer. day.

Ahhhh-those were the days!

Holly did you get some of those sheets at goodwill? I think i saw that top pink one there and I looked at it several times and was going to buy it for you i knew you would be able to find a use for it sometime, but I didn't. I love the old sheet prints they remind me of my grandma and the different sheet sets she had, but are now long gone.

PS. I'll be on the lookout for sheets for you from now on.

I got every one of those sheets at Goodwill and the pink one I just got the other day. I love the old prints too. The sheets and pillow cases on my bed are the old prints-I love 'em.

Dawnie has a bunch and she's gonna make some blankets too-we may share prints.

Thanks for being on the lookout!

No not planning on going to the beach-I think I'll have to rename it picnic blanket to go-but then I don't go on picnics either.
I think maybe I'll rename it "Couch blanket to stay".

Well, maybe this would give us incentive for a beach trip, ah girlfriends????? Yes, Holly I washed up all my bazillion goodwill sheets for you. I thought I would like to make one but I'm thinking twice so maybe you can make twice as many. Can't wait to see how it turns out. If you need anything else, you know where I keep my stash.

I think the beach sounds like an awesome idea for the girls to do next summer! We have to put those beach blankets to good use! What do you say?
Jessie
I think we would have a blast, but we need to start looking now.

I didn't see Dawnie's comment up there-you girls make the plans and I'll follow-but I'll have a graduation party to throw sometime. Hoper will probably want it the same time plans are made.
