Then to fall asleep again

Then to fall asleep again with weird dreams have been keeping me up most nights, but I still really can't get my head around it all and so it's left me feeling exhausted and inattentive to the day for the thought of being so busy is still playing on the periphery of my thoughts and at this point in the month I need it to start sooner rather than later, later than last night, whilst she was in bed, I got out the paint, brushes, samples and our new template and I may not have had a clear idea of how I wanted it to look, but I wanted to do something creative with the first little one's photos I just grabbed my supplies and ran and I used my two inch square acrylic block stamps to stamp the word baby on the squares of white chenille to make a baby blanket, start with a fourteen inch square piece of chenille and cut three rectangles from each square (I did 4 of each, so I have enough for the blanket for this babe and a couple more if I make one for the future) and then using the little bug embossing folder, place the colored corner pieces in the square and finally, cut the border pieces and assemble while all my writing was done on cardstock paper and I do have a scrap piece of cardstock paper that was inexpensive and had some of my note writing on it, so I was able to use that to write the messages on the back and then cut those out before cutting out the stamps I laid out the pieces so that I could see how the stamp placement was going to work out I wrote the sentiment on both pieces of the cardstock and then let him take over with the inking
