Royals

A new baby is soon to arrive in our wider family. I've gone a little bit overboard with making cot-sized blankets, but I love making them and, you know, like me with my fabrics, a baby can never have too many blankets.

I guess this one was not high on the list of things to reveal to you as I have already made this blanket before. This time, I went with watermelon colours.

I made it just after I made the other patchwork crochet blanket. It was easier and quicker to put together the second time around, which is the beauty of having an existing blanket to compare it with.

Despite this, I still managed to make one square bigger than the other ones and it puffs out a bit, but I figure after it gets used a bit, it won't even be noticed.

Apart from using different colours, the only other change I made to the throw was to opt for three colours in the border instead of two.

Fit for a princess, don't you think? If the baby turns out to be a prince, I'm screwed.

This song is pretty cool. I love its message and the unpretentiousness of it all. That's not to say that if it started raining money outside I wouldn't be out there with my buckets collecting it, but in general, I'm pretty happy with my little life, doing what I love, surrounded by those I love the most.
