Oh my goodness, 102 and 103 temps! Thank God for air conditioning. I don't even wear makeup on the days I watch Kerrington. I can't see sweatin' it off when she doesn't care if her grama is naked-faced. I may not even make-up my face today when I go to work. No, wait. I will. When I don't, people think I'm sick. Maybe 'cause I'm so fair skinned and I look like I'm about to pass out. LOL
In spite of the heat, I made another blanket last night. These are so easy to make and Kerrington loves being swaddled to sleep. These blankies are not as hot as a flannel blanket would be, I think.
Notice I mitered the corners correctly? I don't know what I did with the previous blanket that caused me to have to re-design the corners, but I like the mitered corners much better. I have a feeling I will be making more of these for gifts.
I also worked on the tablerunner last night. I can't seem to make one of these without making mistakes. When I start one of these, I need to just keep at it until I'm done. Especially when using directional fabric. I stopped to get on the computer for a while and to make the blanket. When I got back to the runner, I'd lost track of where I was. Oh well.. I got it straightened out and hopefully will finish it tonight.
I STILL need to embroider three plush blankets for a client. I just get so lazy about setting up my embroidery machine.
It's shower time and I want to get to work a little earlier. Don't laugh.

Lovely blanket for Kerrington. Have you ever thought of making a video tutorial of making one. I for one would watch it as those baby blankets would come in handy for my soon to be new grandbaby - only 3 1/2 weeks to go!
Stay cool!

The blankets look great - no matter how you do the corners!
And Kerrington looks adorable in her little watermelon sunsuit. ;)
