Think your husband is cool?

Look what mine did:

Seriously.  He made this.  On our new sewing machine that I got for graduation (even cooler because he gave up his graduation gift so that I could get it).  His mom and grandma helped pick out the fabric which I LOVE.  This picture really does not do it justice.  It is made out of minkee so it is soft and each color has a different texture.  It feels awesome when you touch it.

Also, it should be noted that said blanket was made in a few short hours AND it was the first thing he has ever made on a sewing machine AND basically the first time he has ever even used one.  This is what happens when you leave a husband home alone for a week with a brand new toy.  I decided that it really does not matter what the toy is, it will be played with.  

I'm a little nervous to start my own sewing projects, I don't know if I can live up to this.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love my life?  I have the greatest husband.

Don't start any of your own sewing projects. Just buy the fabric then go out of town!

I showed the girls the blanket. I said, Uncle Rob made this for Ellie, Lucy said "wait, no that can't be true." She really won't believe me. I believe it and I am VERY impressed. But, Rob does work with machines all day....so....you know. And he is smart. I love the blanket and minkee too. A few of my friends husbands make them skirts and clothes and you would never guess without asking...pretty cool!
