So special...

My mom loved to take care of her girls when we had our babies. It was her thing. She also was known for making our babies beautiful blankets. The blanket she made for Macey has become Macey's absolute favorite thing in the world. Hands down. I think this picture that Katie Wells took captures just how precious Macey's blanky is to her. And I think I am just attached. See how sweet?I had a little meltdown when I realized that my little guy wouldn't get that. So, I decided that I would make him one, using the same kind of fabric and idea that my Mom made Macey's blanket with. I'll ask you kindly not to look too closely (I am SO not a seamstress like my Mom was), but I am happy with how it turned out.


Next time I take a picture of this blanket, there will be a cute baby in it!!

I remember when your mama gave you that blanket at your baby shower. Such a great idea to carry on what she would have done. And Macey loving on her blanket is the cutest thing ever! My little girl is a blankie lover, too.
