Menu For Justin and Yvette

So since my brother has been married, he and his new adorible wife write out their menu for the week. So they sit down and plan our all the new meals and some favorites that they want to cook throughout the week. So as I was pondering on what kind of super cool wedding gift (I know it's late) I could give them, it came to me.

A dry erase menu board.

So I got all the stuff to make it and made it all in one day. I was so excited to give it to them that I drove (Chad gave me a ride) over to their house and gave it to Justin. Yvette wasn't home yet but she text me as soon as she got home and she LOVED IT! I'm happy and it was so fun to make.

Monkeys on the bed

For my nephew Jaedan I made this monkey inspired blanket. He LOVES blankets and he's my little monkey so I made this one for him. When he opened it he got this big smile on his face and just smothered his face into the blanket. It was so cute I wish I had gotten a picture of it. I usually do squares in my rag quilts but I decided to switch it up and do long strips of fabric instead. I'm pleased with the turn out.
