Ah, this Holiday Season has been filled with so many gifts lovingly made!
Potholders (square & chicken), baby quilts, Elsa capes, Baby Monkey clothes and one DIY project for my nephew…
Let’s start with one of my few UFO’s from 2012.
It’s not really a surprise. I’ve known about her pregnancy for the past six months. I just wasn’t thinking that I would make anything…and then I had second thoughts. It might be nice to make a baby blanket. You know, it’s a small project and I seem to be able to finish smallish projects these days. So, why not! It’s only a couple weeks before Christmas. I’m not busy! Heh.

This holiday, I again signed up for the Year End Secret Swap-a-ganza gift exchange for my BAMQG. Unlike other deadlines, I created my little quilty work of art THREE DAYS in advance!
