We are getting closer and closer to getting our new pup home! We have our home visit set up for Sunday, and we couldn't be more excited! Tonight, I made Daphne (sweet name for a sweet pup!) a blanket. I went to Hobby Lobby to pick out fabric planning on making her a simple fleece tie-style blanket. But as I was looking through the scrap bin, I found some fun colorful cotton print for dirt cheap! At this point, I changed my mind and decided one side would be cotton print, and the other would be fleece. Until I found just over one yard of turquoise flannel for a couple bucks. Matched the cotton, looked great... sold! I dug through and found another cotton print that went with what I had picked out, and it started to look like Daphne was going to be getting a pretty fancy puppy blanket.
I even asked the lady in the sewing department if a blanket made out of these materials could withstand a puppy. She was positive that it would work well. (Plus, 100% cotton will wash so much easier than a poly-blend.)
I sure hope we get to meet our new pup soon! We are all so ready!
*I wing/wang/wung the style of the blanket in my head, and I am so happy how it turned out. I am sure people are making blankets just like this all over the world-- I just haven't checked because this particular blanket was designed in my head. If you would like a tutorial, let me know!*
