February

In the month of February, things got crazy busy for us. I don't know quite what it was that made things so crazy: increased administration tasks at work, a bunch of yearly check-ups and dentist appointments, Aaron suddenly working more because of the short-term class. But, whatever caused it, things got nuts.

I was grateful, therefore, that I had selected a fairly straightforward project and had purchased the materials already. Because of this, I was able to get right to work.

In February, I did a project for Project Linus, which gives blankets to children in need, such as poorly newborns or those who have been put in foster care.

For this project, I serged the edge of four fleece blankets (as per their instructions on their website about what to do with fleece). Each blanket was sized for a crib blanket, so they will probably go to babies. Here's a picture of my blankets (it includes the white behind, which was a blanket):

This was a fast project, but very satisfying. I hope they help to warm the hearts of the children who get them!
