simple presents

I have a friend who is becoming a grandmother again.  I was invited to the baby shower but I am going camping that weekend.  I will also say that shower type parties of any kind are not really my thing.  

That does not mean that a gift was not created.  I had some leftover flannel from pajama making at Christmas.  Two pieces that were small boy toned.  I get very tired of the baby colors anyhow so these are a modern take and not very babyish but boy.

I just cut the fabric the same length as the width so I have a square.  In this case, it was about 45 inches.  I hem all the sides and a simple receiving blanket is created.  They are actually a touch bigger then what is easily purchased.  I find that they get used longer because they are great in car seats and strollers.  Koda Bear still uses some of his when we travel.  They are a perfect weight for sleeping in the car.

Just a simple gift.  Mailed off already because that is what life is like currently.  But I am finding that it is starting to become less wonky currently.  Hopefully, I just did not jinx myself!
