I made a tag blanket last weekend! I received a bunch of fabric recently from Grandma Louise’s stash and one of the fabrics was a Winnie the Pooh fleece fabric. I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with it until I realized I could make a baby blanket. I somehow remembered I’d seen tag blankets before, so I searched the internet for instructions on how to make one. Since I have a huge stash of ribbon from scrapbooking, making a tag blanket seemed like a great idea. So, here is the finished blanket, front and back. The finished dimensions are around 12″x12″ and I used 7 different ribbons.  Front  Back Directions for making tag blankets can be found here and here. I taped my ribbons on the fabric in lieu of using pins so I wouldn’t stick my fingers (ouch!). I also thought 6″ ribbon lengths made loops that were too long – and that is even after I left the ribbon ends sticking out of the fabric sandwich. I plan to make another tag blanket for our next baby and I’ll probably cut the ribbon so the loops are only about an inch long. I’ll also tailor the ribbon colors depending on what we are having (we’ll be finding out soon!). This tag blanket is for a baby girl, hence all the pink ribbon. I’ll probably also make many more of these as more friends have babies. They are very easy to make and quick to put together; I think the most difficult part was picking out the ribbon to use. RKDy wants to know what everyone is doing this weekend, so you better answer her…
Hi, Grandpa Tony, you should leave me a comment!
This is the result of the fun IO Graph program. It tracks your mouse and makes circles and lines. See more on Flickr.  7.4 hours (from 8-55 to 16-24) So, this is probably old news for most of our readers, but we had intended to share this story and are finally getting around to it. Two weeks ago Arcadia got hurt at daycare (the cause of the giant gash on her forehead is still unknown). So, I got a call at work that Arcadia fell and needed to be picked up and probably needed medical attention. I didn’t manage to get a photo of the gash, but it was between a half inch and three-quarters of an inch wide and between a quarter and a half of an inch deep. It required 6 stitches, two internal and four external. Arcadia wasn’t really phased by the boo-boo, but was not thrilled with the hospital visit, application of numbing medicine, application of lidocaine, or the process of getting stitches. But, she pulled through and was fine by the time we got home. The next day, she managed to bust one of her stitches which required a second trip to the emergency room. She wasn’t too thrilled to return, but go by with just some surgical tape and a band-aid. She was quite excited about the band-aid and would point to her boo-boo and say “boo-boo, band-aid”. Really cute. Four days after getting the stitches, we returned once again to the emergency room to get them removed. This time she was not at all thrilled to be at the hospital and fought the nurse who was trying to remove them. It took three people to hold Arcadia still while the three remaining stitches were removed. Her boo-boo is healing nicely, although there is still a scab. We’ve been continuing to put Neosporin on the boo-boo, which Arcadia allows us to apply only after we fake apply it to our own boo-boos located also on our foreheads.
I still can’t take good hand held night pictures, I guess I need to keep the tripod upstairs or buy fancier camera technology. |
