I wanted to make a blanket for my brother’s as of yet unborn baby, but our mom always makes quilts for new babies and I didn’t want to basically do the same thing. So, I thought about it and decided to make a floor blanket and then create an activity gym to on top of it! I looked online and found someone who had created an activity gym from scratch using hula hoops. http://thoughtsandthimbles.blogspot.ca/2012/10/frugal-bab...

Now that my blanket is finished I am starting on my hula hoop activity gym! I plan to have at least 5 Mario related amigurumis hanging down for the baby to play with. I’m excited to see how this turns out!
