Finished!!!

It's finally done!  I'm so excited!!  I'm even more excited to give it to her... hopefully so more pictures will be put up soon.


Added this little "A" to make it a little more personal.  They are naming their daughter "Annabelle"



 This one's just to give some perspective as to how big this actually turned out.

Thoughts and Inspirations

So, even though I only blog two or three times a week (I'm bad... I forget to do it), I am working on this blanket almost every day.   Probably put in a good 6 hours each week.

            Bizarre that it's not finished, eh?


Anyways, I wanted to put some thoughts down tonight, instead of pictures, because I've learned a lot throughout this process.

I'm finding out a few things about myself and about... well, life, as I've been working on this blanket.

          One, I'm able to de-stress and think more clearly.  I've been really amazed actually.  Pondering is easier and comes quite naturally.


Two, I'm learning that knowledge is power.  Schoolhouse Rock cliche, maybe, but it's true.
                The more things I know and skills I have, I am that much more able to make a difference.


      And three, I look for opportunities to serve and pray for opportunities to serve.


I know that this wasn't what I had originally planned and prayed about, but I know that the Lord was sure that I'd come around to these realizations eventually.
