My niece Raven is being baptized on Saturday! Hooray! This is an exciting event and we are so sad that we aren't able to be there. But, my mom and dad have traveled to Utah and were willing to take with them the gift that I made for Raven.
I have been stewing over what to make for this awesome girl for a little while and I came across an idea online. A blanket. I know that it sounds a little odd, but it came with the description that the Holy Ghost (which she will also be receiving) is just like a blanket. He is a comforter to the soul. I absolutely loved that.
So, I took off to the fabric store, got the stuff I needed and got to work. I embroidered her initial in pink for a special touch - it's her "signature" color. And just played it by ear and did things to the blanket as I went. It was a lot of fun. I got sick the day before I needed to get it finished, so the total finish of it is a little lacking, but I am over all pleased with it. I hope that she will like it.

It is beautiful. I know she will love it. I love it! Too bad our initials aren't the same. Wish y'all could be here, too.
cute! Oh and I love the "Steel Magnolias" reference. Classic.
That is so pretty.
You did such a great job. I wish you could have seen her face when she got it. She loved it!
