I discussed with my sister and she said that even though they have a lot of stuff already from their first boy, it would be nice to have some things that were "just for the new little guy"...so we came up with some burp rags/cloths and I did my first blanket.There are six burp cloths in total, two of each design shown here- There is a polka dot with minky and a monkey print with minky. Those are snuggie flannel on one side and minky on the back. They are both different sizes, the monkey ones are slightly larger. Then there is my own special creation- the blue with polka dot print is a burp rag in every sense of the word. It is blue terrry cloth all around with a strip of snuggie flannel on the front. You can get the edges wet and then you have a soft spot for baby to burp and a wash cloth all in one! I am interested to see how they like these.
The blanket is... well... it was difficult for me! One the one hand, I love it and it turned out really well. On the other hand, working with the minky on one side and flannel on the other proved to be difficult (don't know if I'm just not used to it or working with minky really is tough?)... In the end I got it together with the help of Mom and we got the blanket binding on. The binding is the super silky stuff so the entire blanket is super soft and snuggly. I put it on my lap one day while I was finishing it and it was so cuddly I wanted to make one big enough for me! Maybe some day...
I hope my nephew loves these things and Steven and I can't wait for him to arrive!
