the blanket



i've gotten countless comments on the beautiful blanket that miss sylvi is often pictured with. every nurse on the obstetrics floor came to love it and in the words one our favorite nurse Judy, "well, you can't NOT touch it!" and it's true. so i thought i'd give the now famous blanket it's own blog post. i purchased it on etsy a while before sylvi was born and i am happy to pass along a little shout out to the seller Bella Mia Baby. not only is the blanket itself fabulous, and already sylvi's favorite, but i highly recommend the seller as well. it was worth every penny!

since we love it so much already, and i just happen to have some minky swirl fabric left over from the scarf project, i have decided to make another one! so what print to use? while i am normally not one for animal prints, i come back to the brown zebra or the cow print every time. the giraffe seems to be working well for us, so why not carry on that theme right? oh the possibilities. stay tuned for more photos of the fabulous baby and her fabulous blanket(s) in the posts to come!

I am most definitely into animals prints for babies and toddlers, and love the blanket. I vote for the zebra, it keeps with the wild animal theme and the stripes are a good compliment to the circle/square on the giraffe.

I want one myself!!!! You can tell how soft it is even over the internet. I also love all the "hip" animal prints. I actually bought a new carry-on piece of luggage that is zebra. Sylvi certainly looks like she loves it, too.
