I have been sewing a lot lately, mostly because we are poor and I'm making most of my Christmas presents to give away this year. Every time the sewing machine makes it appearance on the kitchen table Tim will ask what I'm making and who for. Then he asks when am I going to make something for us, our little family of the three of us. The answer is usually later and then later never comes and I'm making something for someone else.
Well Max has gotten bigger, obviously, and all those blankets that people give you when your child is a infant/baby have all gotten to small for him. We have about 2 blankets that will totally cover Max up at night and he has been peeing through his diaper most nights so we are constantly washing them. So it was time for another blanket to add to the rotation.

So we were out at Hobby Lobby getting fabric for another project for an Xmas present and Tim was with me. He saw the Thomas fabric on sale and the Thomas fleece and he just looked at me and smiled. I had 2 yards cut of each and said I would make a rag blanket for Max. Super easy and fairly quick to make. The worst part for making any blanket, for me anyways, is the cutting.
So after all the cutting and about 2 solid afternoons/nap times working on it, its finished. It has been on Max's bed for about 2 weeks now and I have probably washed it half a dozen times. Max has this thing about wanting to play with his diaper at night and he pulls the tab off/up and when he pees it has no where to go but on the sheets, clothes, and the blanket.

I have another pattern that I want to do for Max but I'm trying to get Christmas done and then I'll work on this other quilt for him. It's an airplane quilt. I love it! I have been collecting fabric for a while to make it so we'll see when I get around to it.
So I have a few other sewing projects to post but I have to wait till after Christmas when everyone receives their gifts. Super excited for Christmas this year!
