Wow, it's been awhile since my last post. I've been busy (with life and) finishing up some custom orders - another purple flower throw for a very nice lady up in Michigan:

I also finished the blanket for baby Adam, the one year old with a rare cancer:

I was trying to think of things that might make a one year old smile, so I hope he likes it. 

My favorite part is the little car I came up with. It makes me want to say "beep, beep".

I also tried, for the first time, a binding method on the edges. It was quite a lot of work, but I really love how it came out. I shy away from double crochet blankets because the edges always look so raw. This process is like a quilt binding. It wraps the unruly edges:

Finishing up some projects and starting some new

I finally finished my huge purple flower afghan. Wow, was it big and boy, did it take awhile, but it was so pretty when it was finished. I sent it off to my customer yesterday. I hope she likes it.

I also completed another custom order. In this one, I used colors similar to a supplied photo:

You can see the original bedding image in my previous post.

Two more custom orders to go plus a new one that came in today...

I received a message from a very nice customer in Maine. I've worked with her on several blankets. She asked if I could create something for a friend's child who has just been diagnosed with cancer. He is one year old. It breaks my heart to think of a little child with such an awful disease. I tried to think of something special and came up with this schematic:

This is a rough draft, so I'll be tweaking as I go, but I hope I can bring it to life! I tried to think of something that might brighten a one year old's day. If you have any other suggestions, I'm open to them! Hope everyone is having a bright and cheery day as well :)
