the remaking of a kitchen

i put off posting about this until siena had received her blanket and then i forgot to post at all! when we were at ft rob for the family reunion i wanted to have a project for the cousins that would be a present for sarah's and david's baby. i had an idea and asked kari for advice and mother of elementary school kids that she is - she knew all about it. i wanted to do handprints and she told me about the fabric to use and the paint to buy and to use a brush for painting hands rather than squishing them into the paint. she was a huge help when we made the prints too. it was fun, everyone getting their print on the white knit fabric....all at one sitting except for kelsey who was helping out the golfers. we got her later and she got the middle spot. when i got back home i sewed the backing a pink knit with stars to the white so it all fit together.
now siena has her blanket and she will always know that her little mcgrew cousins loved her and were excited to meet her!
