I have a friend who is becoming a grandmother again. I was invited to the baby shower but I am going camping that weekend. I will also say that shower type parties of any kind are not really my thing.
That does not mean that a gift was not created. I had some leftover flannel from pajama making at Christmas. Two pieces that were small boy toned. I get very tired of the baby colors anyhow so these are a modern take and not very babyish but boy.
I just cut the fabric the same length as the width so I have a square. In this case, it was about 45 inches. I hem all the sides and a simple receiving blanket is created. They are actually a touch bigger then what is easily purchased. I find that they get used longer because they are great in car seats and strollers. Koda Bear still uses some of his when we travel. They are a perfect weight for sleeping in the car.
Just a simple gift. Mailed off already because that is what life is like currently. But I am finding that it is starting to become less wonky currently. Hopefully, I just did not jinx myself!
