Baby Blankets!

When I was pregnant with Jacob, I decided that I wanted to make a baby blanket for each of my babies. I started Jacob's blanket, but didn't quite get it finished. Not sure if two more weeks being pregnant would have helped, but nonetheless, he has a baby blanket! (Stitched by two generations. My mom sewed it shut where I had left an unfinished seam! haha!) When I was pregnant with Eve, I bought some fleece to make a blanket, and I wanted to bind it with satin trim. I made a similar blanket for Jacob's birthday, decided that it was a nightmare, and left the fleece for Eve to collect dust. Besides, my little Eve is particular about her blankets. She has to have a waffle weave receiving blanket. No other will do!

Now with John on the way, I recommitted myself. I wasn't going to get behind on two children! So I picked out some cute fabric online, and I got to sewing! I have successfully finished a blanket for Eve, and made TWO for John... shhh! Don't tell the other two kids. They only get one blanket.

Because I am so proud of myself, I am sharing pictures of my handiwork. The hardest part of sewing is cutting the fabric. I find it so intimidating. If you are off, then your whole project is off. No pressure! Especially on hands and knees with a watermelon in between your legs! hahaha!

 Eve's Blanket- Birds and Rosette Minky 

 John's Minky Blanket- Baseball, of course! Just like Jacob's.

 Couldn't pass up this cute print! 

This cotton will actually be usable, as the minky blanket will be too hot.

Can you see Jacob's "blankie?" That thing will be threads someday.

And how cute is that little girl? I snapped this while taking pictures of John's blankets.

Love these two!!!
