Taggie Blankie

OK, I have said it before and I am sure that I will say it again, I am not the most crafty person out there. Having said that... when I do make something that turns out cute (or at least decent) I am happy! I decided to make Nate a Tag Blankie after seeing an easy tutorial on how to make one! I am the type of person that if the project cannot be completed rather quickly (as in I can see the end of the tunnel when I start the project) I will have a really hard time with doing the project (case and point, Nate's sleep sacks that I started before he was born)! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this blankie turned out and I am rather proud of myself! I have to add that Nate LOVES his blankie too! Nate does not really care for blankets, but he does like this one a lot, which of course makes me very happy! This is not the best picture of the blanket and I will try to get a better pictures when I can (say like one with Nate in it), but you get the basic idea. The blanket is two sided, the primary color hand prints are on a flannel and the primary color polka dots are a cotton! The orange "tags" are a satin ribbon for a different texture than the other "tags" which are more for contrast (yellow ribbon with orange polka dots and rainbow stripped ribbon)! I was origanlly going to make a blue and brown blanket because I found some really pretty blue and brown ribbons at Robert's Craft Store, but they do not sell fabric so I waited till I had the fabric to buy ribbon and where I went did not have any cute blue and brown fabrics really! I am feeling the desire to make another blanket, but Nate does not need another one... so if anyone out there wants one, let me know and I will see what I can do :D
