Since I made something for Colby last month, I felt it only fair that February goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes would be for Brendan. So..... what do you make for a 16 month old?!
Just this past week I put a pillow in his crib for the first time. He was REALLY congested thanks to a nice lil' cold - and since he moves around his crib SO much during the night, I didn't figure elevating one end would really help much {though now that I think about it..... how is the pillow really ANY different?! I guess that's the quality logical thought process you get on wake-up #5 or so of the night....?!}
So... this month's goal will be to make a few fun pillowcases for Brendan's pillow! While this may seem like a simple goal..... and it is a relatively simple one, it also will force me to think about what fabrics I want to use - - - seeing as I never made him a nursery set, I may take this as the jumping off point for a bedding re-do..... we'll see.... but if nothing else, it will get SOMETHING sewn for him!
Plus... we will be on vacation for 9 days during the month - so a "smaller" goal will be good!
Oh.... and even though we are only supposed to have ONE goal for the month (for ALYOF - I have LOTS of other goals in general.... like keeping my house cleaned up - not just when I know people are coming to visit - HA! not happening!) - - - my second goal is to make another lovey / security sized blanket for him - cotton on one side, smooth minky on the other, satin binding - as he now LOVES the one I made back when I had the lofty plans of making him a custom dinosaur nursery. But we have one blanket. What happens if that blanket needs to go in the wash?! So yes.... another similar blanket is a must!
Yup..... this little dude needs some mama-made bedding!!! :)

100 goals!? Ahhhhhh!!!! *fingers crossed* for you! My goals / "to-sew" list is definitely longer than this..... but I am IMPRESSED by a list of that length! Good luck - and happy sewing! :)
