YAY! It looks really great! You did a nice job cutting it all out I'm glad my stencil is getting some use! Anyone else that's interested, feel free to pm me!

I have to say, I completely agree with the others that say they are overlooking the good ads now! When I first saw this annoying ad:


I came searching for this thread. So many websites are bombarded with these scam-ish, soul devouring, insecurity feeding excuses for ads it puts people in 'Computer-protect' mode as soon as they see a flashy ad. Its understandable that craftsters are afraid to click on things now, because you can't be sure its not going to take you to one of those utterly annoying sites that when you try to close it, pops up in a new window and asks you if you were sure you wanted to close it!

Before these new ads popped up, Craftster was the ad safe haven, where you knew you could click on an ad and not get attacked with CLICK HERE TO RECIEVE YOUR NEW NINTENDO WII ABSOLUTELY FREE**
In fact, I used to spend time actually perusing the websites advertised on Craftster. Now, I just ignore all of them, even though I know some of them are very worthwhile!

Here is a suggestion: Figure up the average daily pageviews for FOCs, then how much ad revenue that would generate in one year. Make a FoC subscription level at that cost, and let those people turn off the ads! This should be pretty easy (if your a techy type) to do. This would add value to the FoC membership, and probably cause a decent influx of new subscriptions, and reduce the need for such intrusive ads.

I'm not trying to sound whiny or ungrateful about this wonderous community. I just feel like the one and only place on the intrawebs that I could click away and find cool new places has been taken away. Even with that said, I do really enjoy this community, and the work you all put into it!

So, Ive never sewn a blanket, before today that is. I Just went off pics, and made it up as I went. Top layer is flannel, bottom side is soft cotton knit, and they sammich a layer of batting. I think it came out as cute as a cupcake! I made it for one of my fellow supervisors at work. Her baby shower is today Now for pics!!


It's pretty big for a baby blanket, about 36 inches square. The tags are evenly spaced all around, but the camera just didnt want to see them in my dark living room, on my dark couch.


close up


I even tried to make my own tag!


Its bright GREEN on the other side!


Let me know what you think!

Thanks 

Yay! I'm glad you like everything! I tried making a stuffie, but I'm just not that talented at sewing yet! I'm glad I picked someone from Gundam that you don't hate too, lol!

Thanks so much for the great comments everyone! 

I too thought it was a real cake when i clicked on the thumbnail! It is amazing!

As a fellow barista (ss actually) I really adore your barista pin! I want one I'm sure everyone at my store would <3 them majorly!

p.s. I'm almost four years in, and i still talk about how much my job rocks to all my friends and family

Android Raptor should have her package today Yay!

Haha it seems the bra industry and the clothing industry can't decide. One thinks we are all busty, and the other thinks none of us are! All the more reason for all of us to get crafty

Thanks for your comments everyone
