Slowly Getting My Groove Back

Hello! I hope you are all doing well! I am starting to slowly get my crafty groove back, which is a great feeling. I missed it!

I have been having trouble balancing mommy hood and everything else going on. I’m sure a lot of you moms understand! I have a confession: I am looking forward to my daughter being done with school. I am looking forward to the carefree summer days full of outside time, relaxing, crocheting, and being with my kids.

The other day I had just finished a monster scarf that was a custom order. It was huge and weird but hey if that’s what the customer wants, I will do it! Anyway, I realized I wanted a break. I wanted to start up my daughters knitted pig again and do something I enjoy. She then asked if I could make her stuffed animals a rainbow blanket. I thought, PERFECT! A fun and quick project was just what I needed.

So we headed to my yarn stash and got every color of the rainbow. I decided to do the ripple pattern I used for this blanket. It’s been quick, fun, and so pretty! I did my math wrong and didn’t make enough stripes for each color but I will just start the rainbow pattern over again. No biggy

Check it out so far!

Very colorful indeed! My daughter wanted a rainbow pattern because she found an old baby blanket of mine from when I was little. It’s rainbow stripes all the way across. It matched the theme of my room when I was little! My mom even painted a huge rainbow over my crib, which was really cool.

I hope Hailey will like the blanket for her animals and dolls. I am loving the colors and ripples

Have a great weekend friends! I’m getting my groove back

  6. This blanket is going to be gorgeous! We are big fans of rainbows at our house...in nature, on fingernails, in paintings, so this gives me a great idea for a possible b-day gift for my daughter. It's funny because when I was redecorating my kids' room last year, I really wanted to pain a huge rainbow on the wall, but since our place isn't ours, I couldn't. Instead, we painted a rainbow on a canvas and hung it! :)
