That's right. My machine and I have a love/hate relationship. But now that I have come to understand it, I have struck...
SUCCESS!! This is my first attempt at making those popular and fun little blankies. I got out my precious little Janome machine and put in a movie and by the time the movie was over, this is what I did! PLEASE don't look too closely, as I'm NOT a good seamstress by any means. I was just thrilled that I can do something! I made some ribbon longer than others, so it wouldn't be so boring and predictable.
Most of the ribbon I got at the DOLLAR STORE! (Otherwise I bought it at Walmart or JoAnns) Other taggie blankies that I've seen done have the big, thick ribbon around the edges. I went out on a limb and did it differently. I thought that different sizes and textures could help with fine motor skills. Plus, I just wanted to see if it would work. Ryanna told me tonight that her baby doll, Sally, needed one also. I'm going to make Ryanna help me do it, she loves to sew.

I'm so excited about it too, I'm giving it as a baby gift to Ryan's brother's darling wife. (Shhhhhh! Don't tell!) They're having a baby girl, and what miracle baby she is. Can't wait to meet her!

This is a little late, but I am going to write my fun memories here so you can see it. I remember all those fun band trips and practices. I remember just being silly and crazy. I can't remember a specific time, probably because it was everytime we were together:) I do remeber the sleep overs at my house. I just remember having so much fun in high school and always being so silly and care free when together. It was always a party for those 4 years!
Oh, CUTE!! You totally rock at this domestic stuff!!
