Crafty Night

A few weeks ago I went to a craft fair with Kizie.  Being an 8 year old girl, she wanted to buy everything.  One thing she pointed out was a fleece blanket.  I replied that we could make one when Mom was in Chicago.  That night came last night.

We made a trip to Field's Fabric to choose from their tables upon tables of fleece.  I did have to steer Kizie away from the rainbow leopard print, and now we both love the patterns she chose.  I must not have looked very crafty because the clerk kept asking me if I was sure I knew how to make them and if I had sharp scissors.

When we got home I cut the fabric so that the two pieces were the same size.  After I cut out the corners, Kizie and I got to cutting the strips.

Then we had a lot of tying to do.  Kizie kept complaing about how much her back hurt during this.  Near the end she said, "Remind me to never make one of these again."

I do love the patterns we picked out.  I'm kind of jealous.

 

Kizie thinks it was worth it in the end.
