WIP's around here

I just got home from my nephew's first birthday supper, I love the little guy so much! Out of 13 nephews and nieces, I think he's pretty much the only one who truly likes me, he's always got the biggest smile for me. Now, the kids are down for the night, not sleeping yet but also not bothering me, so I don't care. I thought I'd share a couple of the WIP's I have laying around the place right now.



I've got this new baby blanket on the go. I was going to be making it for my cousin's new baby boy who was born earlier this month but I've decided against it. I've decided that the blankets I crochet that I put a lot of time into making, I'm only going to be gifting to people I care about. Not that I don't care about my cousin, it's just I haven't spoken to her since Christmas of 2008, so she's not someone I'm very close to. I plan on making her one but it's just going to be one that's quicker and easier to make. Anyway, this blanket is going to be for Zach. He needs a blanket for his bed, the blanket he has isn't very big at all, luckily the boy hardly ever stays covered up anyway.

The other project I've got going is this really great stitch along I found over at Sylvia's. I changed the colors that she suggested using for the border (the DMC colors are listed under the photo up there). Each month there's a new design to stitch up, I'm loving it so far and it's going to help me build up an embroidery floss stash finally!



I love January's design, so cute! I'm still working on February's, so I'll post a picture of that one soon I hope.
