Granny Squares

I had found a couple photos of granny squares on pinterest like this and this . I think they are so beautiful and decided I was in need of one. Since I am definitely not up to snuff on my crocheting abilities I decided to ask my wonderful and hugely talented Grandma MacDonald if she could make one for me. After a couple trips to Micheals to pick out the yarn and a suitcase full of yarn (16 skenes) on the plane home to Saskatchewan this summer (which I really wish I would have taken a 'before' photo of) and a lot of hours of crocheting on my Grandma's part....voila!! My new Granny Square Afghan! I love it sooo much! It is my new go to blanket on the couch at night while watching tv. The first night my Mom brought it, I literally walked around the house with it around my shoulders like a 'granny' smelling it. It smelled just like my Grandmas house! I am so thankful to my Grandma for making it for me. I love the colors, I love the randomness of the squares and how even though they are all different they all looks so great together. I will have it always to show how talented she is! Maybe someday I can try and learn so that I can do the same for my kids and Grandkids...?? :) Here are some shots of it in my house...

Product Spotlight...Accordian Albums

I haven't done this much in the past, but these albums are on the way out the door this weekend and I just had to take a few shots of them before they're gone. I have done the albums before but not with the custom cover and I am so excited with how they turned out. I took a couple photos for you to see them too! Each one now comes covered in a frosted plastic cover to protect it, and a hidden magnet keeps it closed once it is out of its case. I think they are the perfect size to throw in your purse so you can show off your kids to everyone who asks about them, and such a great idea for Grandmas and Grandpas that want to show off their Grandkids! I'll try doing some shots of some of my Holiday cards from last year as well...Christmas Card season...my favorite!! :)
