I didn't realize that I had gotten so backed up on my blogging. For the past few weeks I had been working feverishly in my free time on my items for two upcoming craft shows I participated in. I made what I call ribbon blankets (aka taggie blankets). I got the idea to make them when I saw a friend recieve one as a gift and I looked up how much they cost and thought I cou
ld make ones cuter, custom, and for a lot less. I followed some simple directions from the internet and voila, I had made a pink K-State one for Eve. I enjoyed doing it, so I bought tons of fleece and ribbon and went to work. I've probably made about 40 or more in two different sizes. It was more work than I thought, but I did sell about 20 of them. If you have never heard of these, they are soft fleece with ribbons that come from all sides. They act like tags and babies love the different feelings and softness of them. I made a small size, about 12 in by 12 in and a larger one about 18 in by 18in. Some people are using those as a car seat blanket too because it is big enough to keep them warm but not hang over the edges. Eve uses her to lay her head down when cold or plays with it when we are out. She really loves it.

w that I have Eve everyone says she looks so much like Tyler. Well growing up some people would think that Nat was my daughter and comment on how alike we looked. Now I have my own daughter, but she looks less like me than Natalie. It was always hard for me to see how much alike we looked, but the other day I was looking in the mirror and made a face and went, "Oh my goodness, that is what Natalie does and I looked just like that." It was one of the first moments I saw how much we might look similar. I ran out and told Tyler and he was just like, Yup, I know. I just wish I was as super skinny as she has always been.

Eve loved to stare at the Chirstmas tree they already had up. They had just got a new smoker grill, so we had smoked turkey and it was great. It went great with the pumpkin cheesecake I made and am proud of because it was so good. Here's Eve with the tree.
