Car seat blanket

In an effort to keep myself somewhat sane and because I have literally a million things to get done before Christmas, I have been doing some projects - pretty much every free chance I get!  I haven't been able to post about many of them as they are Christmas presents and I don't want to lose the element of surprise (or risk someone seeing it and thinking "I hope that's not for me!"  :0 ).  But this one is all for me and is not a Christmas present (though I am hoping the person who will use this is an early Christmas present for us!).

I decided that since it is getting colder and we just might have a "baby car seat" sized little one in our home soon that this was the perfect time to tackle this project.  I also know I have friends who are pregnant with delivery dates around the corner and I thought I could work out the kinks  by making a practice run for myself.  So I followed the pattern from Toad's Treasures for the Car Seat and Stroller blanket.  Here is how mine turned out.

You like my Pooh Bear baby model?  :)

I used a fleece blanket that I already had on hand and a sheet I bought for a bed we no longer have any more - it is brand new - never been used even.  So I thought it was worth the try to see if I could make it work.  I am pleased with it.  I guess we shall see if we need it soon enough!  :)

God Bless!
