Finally Finished!

There are many crafty things I like to do. Just to name a few, there is Scrap booking, Quilting, Writing, and most recently I am finishing up a latch hook thing that Morgan so desperately wanted to do. That is until she did a few hooks. Anyway, I love to quilt but it is rather time consuming and so I only quilt for super special occasions. I like the type of quilting that actually requires your hand to hold a needle. Not the type that you sew a few squares together and send it soaring through a machine and then wa-la you are done the entire thing in an afternoon. No I like to commit myself to the challenge - and spend the time thinking about the things that the quilt will possibly be a part of. From keeping a baby warm, spending tummy time on the floor, snuggling with a loved one, and even when it gets tied around the child's neck and becomes a cape. I like to ignore the reality of vomit, poop, pee, and mud puddles. I have been working on a quilt for my neighbors daughter Kaitlyn. Time got away from me and so I had to present the quilt at Julie's shower followed by a "yeah, I am going to need that back so I can finish it". I thought I would have PLENTY of time until the lil dear came 3 weeks early! So now that she is a month old, I have finished it. Yahoo! I selfishly want for it to be a special blanket for her, but most of all I want her to know that someone somewhere loves her, was blessed by watching her grow in her Mommy's tummy, and will be praying for her often.
