Fleece Blanket Project

I'm still working to raise a fuss over my girl, Heidi.


And so is my friend Chelsea for her girl, Robyn.












Remember my attempt at raising money for Heidi by making necklaces? Well, I had a couple of requests but not much interest. The fact is, one of my lovely little siblings, who shall remain nameless, took it into his or her head that after I had spent three hours braiding enough silver thread to make two necklaces the best possible plan would be to sneak in with his or her scissors and cut them to pieces.



We all recovered.


However, my desire to complete that particular project was rather squashed. Thankfully, my friend Chelsea still had as much drive as ever, and we got together to brainstorm fundraisers for both of our Reece's Rainbow beauties. We decided on making fleece tie blankets, and we have these two above as examples. You can either order one just like one of these two or you can place a request for color/pattern combination and we'll do all we can to make it happen! Just leave a comment or email me at ama2@bellsouth.net to place and order.


The blankets are double layered fleece made made from 1 1/2 yard of material, and they cost 25$ a piece. It is for our girls, remember.


Unfortunately/fortunately I'm a fan of old school snail mail as far as paying goes (read: I have no idea how to implement one of those chip-in things). So, either send your check via envelope, owl post, whatever, or you can donate the amount directly to Reece's Rainbow and just tell me that you did. I trust you.


So, feeling sweaty? Loving this humid, summer weather? Spending time at the beach? Still in the month of July with the rest of the Western Hemisphere? What you need is definitely a double layered fleece throw blanket. Duh.


Thanks guys. :)

  1. Audrey,

    I would like you to make a blanket for sweet Carlene to help Heidi out. You can make it in whatever colors you think would be great for Carlene. Her room is done in Tinkerbell with green walls and lots of flowers. You can go to my pixie dust fundraiser to see what it looks like.

    You can email me at cans4carlene@yahoo.com to discuss mailing and payment.

    Thanks,

    Katrina
    Carlene's soon to be momma :)
