Sewing and the Zoo
Recently my awesome mother-in-law got me a sewing machine…and though I am still trying to become a master seamstress (actually very far from it…) I have come out with a couple decent looking projects. My most recent, a baby blanket for new baby sister! Not that I am trying to show off my work…but sort of I am because it actually looks like a blanket! I surprised myself. I know, I know, sewing two squares of fabric together shouldn’t be that hard…and it wasn’t, only after the fact that I sewed the edge on wrong and had to get out the seam ripper and really had no idea what I was doing, just guessing as I went until eventually my mom came in and saved my from myself and told me how to do it…which was WAAAAY easier than what I was trying to do. Sewing two squares together can be harder than I thought. So here is the finished product:
And then some photos of our recent trip to the Folsom Zoo. It’s pretty small, but perfect for a short trip and Preston had fun!
Definitely a lot of peacocks…and they aren’t too afraid of people.
Preston and a wolf.
THE END.

LOVE the blanket!! It looks like it will be so-o-o nice to use…..and cute besides. Way to go! I noticed the dinosaur blanket also. Hope he likes it. I always love seeing pictures of cute, cute Preston.

I love the fabric and I love the ric rac edging. You are going to be a master seamstress in no time!
So I know Preston looks like your baby pictures, but in that picture where he is the bear’s face he looks just like Shaun!! Good thing both of his parents are good looking so your kids will be cute no matter what ; )

Love the blanket… you did a great job! I hope that someday I’ll be able to sew like that too.
P.S. How long until baby #2?
