For the baby boy

September 23, 2008

Although I have several things I have made lately, I will have to settle for showing just this one thing today because the shots of everything else is lacking.  I made this baby blanket for a friend who had her 2nd little boy in July.  You don’t really need nice warm blankies in July, so that is the only reason it took me this long to make it.  Yeah.  At least I had bought the fabric sometime before July…it takes me awhile to get things done.  This is the soft and snuggly chenille fleece, and just ignore that the pattern has roses on it.  It was the only thing I could find in the store that was a dark blue.  I’m sure he won’t be damaged from it. 😉

If you want to see a recent photo session I did this weekend, you can find it over here.  It was at our friends’ house out in the boonies.  I wandered around in their woods until I found a spot that I liked.  Unfortunately it was around a dried up stream bed, so there were a few bugs.  Just a teensy weensy bit.  We survived…that is the important part. 🙂

  1. Didn’t even notice the roses, and I highly doubt he will while he is snuggling away with it. I think that will be one of the blankies that gets carried EVERYWHERE! It looks so cozy!

  2. Oooh, lovely. I adore that fabric. Do you sell these on Etsy? You should! You should! And I dig that photo session, the woodsy background is just perfection against the stunning family.

  3. The photo shoot came out really good. They are all frame ‘n hang worthy!! You can just tell with this blanket how soft it is. Who cares about the roses on the blue…I never even caught it until you mentioned it. Great work!

  4. Ohh Stacy. I usually just drool over and wish for girls, when I see all of the girlie things you make. BUT you’ve now made a BOY item! Be still my heart. I need one. yes, I said need. 😉 haha.

  5. Very cute (as usual!)

    Thanks for the horse advice. The drive whip pushing her shoulder out is only moderately successful – otherwise yanking the leadrope does nothing but encourage her to turn to face me (which the little stinker is already trying to do!) My trainer is due to have a baby soon so I’ve been on my own with the silly goose for several months now. She’s good in the saddle, so I rarely have to do much backing…
    Wish you were closer! You sound like you would know just what to do! 🙂
