Tag Teething Blanket

 

Jess just turned 4 months and has already sprouted his first tooth. So as you can imagine he's chewing on anything he can get his hands on. I saw some of these teething tag blankets on Etsy when I was looking at baby toys. They didn't look to hard to make so I decided to give it a try. Turns out it was as easy as I thought it would be. Made this one and another one just a little different for my nephew Tae this morning. Both babies love chewing on them.

Appliques

I was looking at a jungle themed baby quilt my mom bought the other day with some really cute animal appliques. I had never tried appliqueing before but figured I could learn how to do it. So, after a couple failed attempts I figured it out. Here are some of my results that I will be adding to my own baby quilt. I have yet to add the eyes to the giraffe but no worry I will get them on.

 

Both squares are 10x12. The giraffe's brown patches are corduroy and inside the ears are white minky. The elephant is made out of a minky rose fabric. I love the little swirls, it gives it a little more dimension. They were super fun to make and I can't wait to come up with more designs.
