Hobby Lobby has not been good for my pocketbook lately...but I sure LOVE it!!!! When in there the other day for a ZIPPER....I happened upon this darling fleece and minky...in monkeys!!! now it just so happens my oldest daughters nickname for her unborn daughter is little monkey..and aqua is about my fav color right now......soooooo, I decided to make a taggy blanket for her little monkey...and since I had to buy $30.00 worth of ribbon...lol..I decided to make one for my other daughters unborn son....and her best friends baby which is due any week now. AND I can squeeze another one out to keep here at NeNes. I have to justify all that ribbon!!!!!!
First time I have ever worked with minky...a mess, but so soft and so worth the effort!!!!
So two of them are finished...2 more to go.....they are fast and easy...to make these 2 only took me about 3 hours from start to finish...Im loving these fast and easy projects!!!
So..how am I doing with my word of the year...RESOLVE.....
well...so far so good....
I have not bitten my fingernails in a week!!!!
Im back to walking every night......
Im back in the sewing room....
Still trying to learn the piano..its the hardest thing ever....
Iam eating a little bit healthier.....
BUT my resolve in the handbag area is weak...having spotted an aqua and white polka dot purse in the new Fossil catalog.....God help me.....theres a fossil shop 10 minutes away.
This weekend is a girls weekend for me. I have hung out with the same group of friends since high school...some 45 years....thru thick and thin...some of us have died, some have lost children, husbands, divorces...you name it....but still we hang tight. One of us is retiring from her nursing job and moving to Virginia...and we are seeing her off with a few events. Friday night its just 6 or 7 of us who are the closest to her having a slumber party at her house...which used to be her moms house and the hangout in high school!!! talk about memories!!! Then saturday night we will meet at a restaurant and there will be about 15 of us...and THEN because some gals couldnt make it saturday night we are having ANOTHER dinner monday night with them and most of the ones from fri and sat night!!! We all get together a few times a year and its always a hoot.....I must resolve to exercise madly to work off all the dinners!!!!
For those of you who follow my blog, the granny panties will be there too....of course!!!
Have a fun weekend peeps, you know I will!!!!

Those taqgy blankets are so sweet and will be well loved for sure. What a wonderful weekend you have planned....nothing like hanging with longtime friends who can remind you of so many wonderful memories and a fun weekend of making new ones!!!
What a send off for your friend! It's awesome that you are all still together after all this time. I'm not sure what minky is. I know about the fleece material. Oh, the blankies are gorgeous. The aqua is beautiful, what are the ribbon loops for?
I think it's nothing short of a miracle that you have two grandbabies on the way at the same time, and the girlfriend's, too! How wonderful.
Blessings to everyone.
Hugs,

Adorable taggy blankets - very adorable.
You're lucky to have long time friends - enjoy every minute you spend with them. Real friends are hard to find.
I know what you mean, Hobby Lobby doesn't let you out of their doors without you spending lots of money. Your blankets are too cute! Sounds like a good time ahead this weekend. Have fun!
LOVE the cute blanket. Isn't that minky fabulous?
what a great weekend you will be having..and you better have a camera on hand to take shots of all the festivities and those granny panties.)
Cute blankies! I made those for my grands too.
Have fun this weekend!
SUPER CUTE!!! I pinned it to keep it in mind when I need some handy and quick baby gifts. And about the handbags.... make them a "reward". Don't go buy it. Go a MONTH without biting your nails (tough to do which is why I have fake ones on). Or master one song on the piano or something like that. THEN buy yourself that bag. ;) Enjoy your friend's send off. Sorry she's moving across the country but it just a good excuse to travel.
have the BEST weekend with your girls!!!!!!!
Well it looks like you got your moneys worth of taggies there. Those are the cutest monkeys ever.
Gotta love Minkee and fleece.
Have fun at your get togethers with your friends. That is so great that you keep in touch with so many of them.
Hmmmm....now I feel like a real backwoods hick. I have never heard of minky or a tag blanket. Is that fabric ribbon I assume??? They're adorable - love the chocolate and aqua combination - and haven't met too many monkeys I haven't loved. Hope you had fun eating and partying your way through the weekend....and woo hoo - another celebration to go yet. You all are really sending her off in style! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
