Another bb (that's-bedside bouquet) and another bbtg (that's-beach blanket to go)

I'm loving having my little bedside bouquets-
except the sneezing part. I'm not too fond of that. But I'm willing to suffer-just a little-to have my little bouquet, bedside.

And shhhh..... don't tell-but I made another beach blanket to go from the book Handmade Home. (I used fleece for the back-that's why it's so fat!) Can I muster up the ambition to make more for Christmas gifts? We shall see........

I love making those blankets as well -- they're quick and fun!

Love that funky phone of yours.

WOW! Yes, these would make awesome Christmas gifts. I could actually have them done by Christmas if I started now. HA> But I am too darn LAZY! Yours turned out beautifully! Will you continue to use fleece? Picked up some zinnias today at the Mennonite stand and they look so pretty. It's the little things that make me happy! They look pretty on your stand! Sweet dreams!

Go for it!! I love the thought of giving them away as a gift. They are quite a bit of work, but so perfect in the end. And nothing beats home made. Nothing.....

I have an old old padded and quilted picnic blanket that my mom sewed a long time ago but I've never made any myself! <3 Liking the vintage linens, of course
