With the summer slowly coming to an end and the infamous football season already underway, wives across America are pulling out their pda’s and gearing up for their ‘girls night out’ evenings, stock piling their home pantries with all the palate pleasing couch potato necessities their husbands will require for the next several months, and purchasing cute little lace numbers for the nights when his No#1 team scores the winning touchdown in the last few minutes of the game. Ahhh, the fun of America’s favorite pastime sport! Ahh, the glory of football! For the lucky women who have managed to capture the heart of a die hard football fan, much praise and honor are due. Most likely you didn’t see it coming until the vows were already taken and the commitment was already made. I imagine the first sign of his ‘condition’ was the 72” flat screen TV that arrived along with the wedding gifts (probably given to him from his best men). At some point, probably right after the new house was purchased, the moving truck arrived with his favorite worn out 80’s style Lazy Boy recliner from his mom’s house, you know, the one that clashes with the ultra modern leather set in your living room and is untouchable to the rest of the household. Or maybe, you saw the pink elephant in the middle of the field and chose to ignore it. Like the 12 Donavan McNabb jerseys hanging in his closet, or the countless hours logged on to the NFL Fantasy Football site throughout your courting years.
Either way, he’s a football fan, and since you are his wife, so are you, whether you want to be or not. Period. You’ll catch yourself checking the game while eating dinner at the local TGIF with your girlfriends the night the Eagles play the Giants. You’ll know the players by their colors and numbers, and some, by their tight ends. You’ll even place bets at your office pool every now and again just to see the look on your boss’s face when you score big again. With this reality on the table, here is a list of some crafty football ideas that both of you can enjoy over again throughout the crazy ups and downs of your beautiful marriage. Even if you aren’t an arts & crafts chic or an experienced seamstress, we are sure you will find something here that is not only doable, but will look cute on you. After-all, if he’s happy, everyone’s happy, right.

Blankets are a great gift for your college or pro football fanatic this season. And hand-crafted blankets carrying the name and mascot of thier favorite team are especially cool. You don't need to have any sewing skills to create one either.
With
J & O's wide selection of 100% poly-winterfleece and a pair of scissors, you can make a warm & lightweight blanket for your friends, family, team-mates, or even yourself. Just follow the easy step instructions below and watch your fabric turn into an armor of pride to keep warm under during those windy season games.
Step One:
Come to
J&O Fabrics and pick from a selection of College & NFL fleece fabrics representing the teams you or your loved ones follow. Have a store employee cut the fabric into a 2-4yard length depending on the size of the individual who will be wrapped inside.
Step Two:
Wash the fabric with cold water on gentle cycle, or hand wash. Any detergent will do.
Lay fabric flat to dry.
Step Three:
Lay fabric out on a large flat surface. Turn one of the shorter ends towards you and smooth out any wrinkles.
Step Four:
Cut a fringe along one short side by making 3-inch deep straight cuts about a 1/2-1 inch apart.
Step Five:
Tie a single knot at the base of each cut strip to complete the fringe along one side of the blanket.
Step Six:
Turn the fleece to the other short side and smooth out the wrinkles. Make the same size cuts a 1/2-inch apart and then tie knots to match the other side.
Step Seven:
Step back and pat yourself on the back. Your completed college / pro football no-sew fleece blanket is done! Give as a gift or keep for yourself.
Now wasn't that easy.
