I've had the special priviledge of making blankets with my "Purcell" family here in Utah. I've been learning a lot of new and exciting homemaking, arts & craft ideas since Spencer and I have moved to Utah. A big part in my motivation to being a good cook and learning how to make my own blankets, clothes etc. is my beloved mother. I am truly grateful for my Aunty Rosita Letalu who takes the time out of her busy schedule to set up a day when we get together and have a little arts & crafts night. It's our GNO (Girls Night Out) thing to do ... instead of going to the movies or clubing/dancing (cause we're past that stage of life). I'm also grateful for my cousins and "sisters in crime"(lol), Verlynn and Beatrice for their support and help in teaching me the secrets and ropes to homemaking.
Our first night of crafting, we made beautiful blankets. We didn't have all the girls there, but we still had our blanket making night. Rosita, Beatrice and I had a fun time making blanket, eating chicken tostada's and listening to the guys play their card games. I was so engulfed in making my blanket, I lost track of time and didn't notice the time. Spencer and I left Rosita's house at 2:30 am that morning and I had to be at work at 8:00am that same morning. I was tired, but it was all worth it.
Just to share with you the beautiful blankets I made, I've posted some pictures of them for you. Our next craft, is making watches and brachlets...Can't wait for that night or arts & crafts. Another long, fun filled night with family.
Past the stage in your life of going to the movies?! LOL Nooo...movies are fun! ;0) Lisa, the blankets look awesome!! Can you post how you made them? I definitely want to make a cute one like that brown one! Ü
