For Christmas I got a nice basic sewing machine from A.J.'s parents. I've barely touched a sewing machine, let alone sewed a button on a shirt. I didn't even have anything in particular that I wanted to sew. Maybe it's the sense of wanting to create...sort of like men and woodworking or something along that line. So yesterday I decided to break in my machine. I had picked up some fabric to make Ayson a basic toddler-sized blanket (akin to what Aunt Jennifer made for Alex on his first birthday). This evening I finished it up. It is far from perfection. And you don't have to look hard to see that not all seams are perfectly straight. I vow to keep improving. But. It didn't turn out too bad for a novice. And when Ayson saw it he grabbed it and wrapped it around himself and then thanked me! I felt like a star! :) You can officially call me "Suzie Homemaker!"

GREAT job on the blanket! I need to get my machine out and start making things again. I have a basket full of cloth ready and waiting to become something beautiful...or as beautiful as my sewing skills can make it :) There might be more blankets in your boys future..haha
I think it looks great! And the fact that Ayson loves it is really all that matters. Great job!
It looks wonderful! I barely sew buttons so I'm impressed :)
