Fleece Blankets with a Twist
Awhile back I was on vacation in a very small town and found myself checking out the local wares in the general store. When I say general store that is exactly what it is. It has a small amount of all those things you didn't know you just had to have until you see them all together in one store. For me, I ended up falling in love with this cozy fleece and Sherpa blanket. It was so soft and so cuddly I just had to have it. After awhile I started feeling a little like Linus because it always seemed to be with me.
Soon the weather started to improve and I didn't have much of a need for a warm and snugly fleece blanket. I didn't think about it again until I was trying to figure out what gifts to give my bridesmaids and attendants. I had thought a beautiful quilt would be an awesome gift but with only a couple months to the wedding I knew they wouldn't get done. But the blanket thought was in my head. I was wondering around Joann Fabrics and saw that they had all their flannel and fleece on sale for a really good price and the blanket immediately popped back into my head.

Christmas Paper Wreath
In my effort to try to do more seasonal decorating I found this beautiful paper wreath cut file from MyScrapChick.com and new I had to do something with it. Each year on Christmas Eve from as far back as I can remember my dad has read us "Twas the Night Before Christmas". When I saw that's what was on the tags I purchased immediately. Of course, as it goes with all my projects, I started this two days before Christmas. Needless to say it wasn't finished in time.

Christmas Stockings Four Years in the Making!
This project started about 4 years ago as I was perusing some beautiful charm packs at a quaint little shop at the Minnesota State Fair. I wasn't exactly sure what I planned to do with them at the time but had to have them. It was the Aspen frost line by Moda.
