Konbit Sante Receiving Blankets

Lisa and I finally finished up the 30 tote bags and 30 receiving blankets for Sunday's party to benefit Craft Hope Project 11, Konbit Sante. 

Now I just need to make 30 tiny stuffed animals and we should be all set for Sunday.
By the way, if you missed it, the free tutorial for making receiving blankets in posted on our blog.  They make a really great baby shower gift. 

10 Tutorials for Things to Make For Babies for Christmas Mega Post

I have Christmas crafting on the brain.  I don't really mean making ornaments, but making all of the gifts.  I try to give at least 1 handmade gift to each person on my list.  I find that even among my friends, the handmade items are more treasured than just things that I pick up. 

This mega roundup is dedicated to things for baby.  I will be doing a few roundups each week for different groups of people.  The next one will be a toddler/preschool roundup.
