Temperature Blanket of 2020

 Hello everyone, I hope y'all are having a wonderful day today. I am excited 😁 I was able to have my temperature blanket done by August 31st. It has been a very long time since I was able to have a temperature blanket done on time so I can share it with everyone else. 

This is my first year ever doing a temperature blanket and I am loving every bit of it. There is a YouTube that did a temperature blanket crochet along last year. I loved it so much I decided to do it this year. I decided to do some things differently with my blanket then what she did. 

1. I wanted to make our birthdays stand out. So I found a really pretty thread that I can add to each square. It is hard to work with, but i love the end result.

2. When I first started this blanket I never consider that I would have love ones pass away this year. So I wanted to have a square that was just for them. The black squares are for them.

I am so happy that I can across her YouTube channel. She explained everything so beautifully. For me being a newbie I was able to follow alone very easily. If you are intrastate in doing the same one as me then just go HERE. Now that the year is almost over I am now trying to figure out what is 2021 blanket going to look like.

Hobby Lobby Clearance Yarn Haul 2020

 Hello everyone, my name is Kayleena and today I am going to be talking about my clearance yarn haul from Hobby Lobby. Now for many of you this is not the first year for y'all. But for me this is the first time. I had no idea that big box stores do a very big liquidation of there yarn. I did know about Walmart and Christmas in July. This is the 2nd year that I have saved up and got a lot of toys for my boys. Here my oldest boys birthday is at the end of August and my middle boy is at the beginning  of October. And not long after that we have Christmas. That is a lot of toys in such a small bit of time. But now that I know about this yarn liquidation that happens every year, next year I am going to be ready LOL.

I am so happy about what I got. I was able to get a lot of yarn that has wool or alpaca in it. Yes I know that in GA it dose not get that cold. But my oldest boy gets very cold very easily so when I am buying him clothes I have to keep that in mind. Not only do I have to keep that in mind I also have to keep in mind that the clothes have to be light weight, soft and easy to move in. So this year I am making a lot of my boys winter clothes. I also love the look of vest. My boy's are also in the holidays. So when I make there vest and things. I was thinking about making appliques as well to be put on anything that they would like. I bet you are wondering if I might have any thoughts about using any of this yarn for my self. And the answer is YES. I am so happy that I came across this beautiful and so soft yarn. I just can't wait to work with it.

Now purple is not my favorite color. Burgundy and a pumpkin orange are. But I just fell in love with this color as soon as I put my eyes on them. So I got as many as I could find. I was able to find 4 of them. So that would give me 864 yards. I thank that might be enough yarn so I can make a sweater or a cardigan. I guess we will see.
