When you have two babies your going to have to make two blankets. I woke up early this morning and started working on Ella's blanket before the kids got up. When Victor finally came into the living room he asked me when I was going to make him his "Birthday Blanket". My heart melted and I promised that I would make him one as well. After we all had breakfast he sat on my lap and we went through different patterns on Ravelry. He was so excited to see that they had a fish blanket. We had to run some errands today so I stopped by our local A.C. Moore and we picked out some big boy colors. At this point I wish I had a few extra hands to knit these things. I'm using a US size 6 and looking at 50+ knitted fishies.
I also saw these wooden letters that were on sale. They're about 5" high and couldn't pass them up. I know after I paint them they'll be perfect over the toddler beds.
I pulled out some of my mural paints and brushes when we got home. I had really forgotten how much I had. I haven't painted one in over a year an a half. Most of my brushes and paints came from an artist's garage sale. One of my luckiest finds, half of them have never been used.
The kids want me to paint them each a scene on their bedroom walls. Victor wants a whole Disney's Cars theme and Ella can't get enough of Dora the Explorer these days. It should be a lot of fun and I can't wait to show you the progress. The floors are going down today in the apartment so I can start sketching the walls next week.

love the color mix you have chosen. Knitting would not be the issue, sewing together...not thats another storey!
Very nice colours for the fishs blanket. Happy knitting!
Aww, the blanket will be lovely. :) My mother made me a patchwork blanket, and promised my sister one before she grew up. She's 22 now. I feel kind of bad for her. I really treasure mine, though, I swear it has magical warming properties because of all the love knitted into it!
That is so sweet. I love the idea of getting up early and knitting before the rest of the house is up. I found your blog via WhipUp and I'm jsut enchanted. And TOTALLY inspired. I adore the posy pin cushion, it's wonderful. I'd love to link to it if you didn't mind.
I've been enjoying reading your blog and love the beautiful photos. I am very excited too see these blankets completed.
