New BABY!


Okay, the baby isn't technically mine, she is actually my new step-grandbaby, but I still claim her!! Hey, I paid my step-mommy dues...

So, anyway, when my daughter was born, my sister made her a great little blanky; little did we realize how important "blankie" would become. My daughter (Bella) is now 7, and still insists on blankie for sleep, play, sitting at the table, and visits to auntie's house. My step-daughter, the new mommy, has seen Bella grow up with blankie, so wanted one for her new little girl. Bella even found, out of the rows and rows of lace at the store, the original style of edging from her own blankie...so that is what I used for this one.
I sent the blankie out on tuesday, baby was born on thursday morning...and after my husband talked to her, we found out that she actually will be spelling the baby's name "lilly" instead of "Lily" as I had on the blanket. Sigh.

OMG I love it! And yes, blankies are soooooo important :) I love it that you guys found the original trim.

This is such a sweet little blankie! I bet she'll treasure it forever.
