Baby Blankets

So, about 7 years ago I started making baby blankets.  I usually make them for most of the baby showers that I go to.  I love working with colors and patterns that make me think of the person I am making it for.  I hope each child that receives one of my blankets treasures it forever and finds many moments of comfort with it ♥ Here are my latest two blankets for new arrivals...
I love using colorful stitching to make the blanket be coordinated.
Flannel on one side for warm comfort.
Patterned cotton fabric  GREAT for tummy time.

Rainbow stitching
Soft and Cozy White Flannel
I used 4 different pieces of purple fabric on this one.

1 Can of Chick Peas
1 Lemon ~ Juice & some zest

Remove from oven immediately and cover with foil for 20 minutes, so the peppers can steep...

While they are steeping...

Add the chick peas, lemon juice & Zest to the food processor...

After steeping for 20 minutes, immediately peel skins off of peppers ~CAUTION~ THEY WILL BE HOT, use a fork to help you, when they are peeled put them in food processor with the chick peas.
