When I was pregnant with Z, I couldn't find baby bedding that was in colors that liked and inexpensive. So, I decided to make my own. I'm not in any way a seamstress, but with the help of big sis and some common sense, I got it done. And if you don't look TOO close, it looks really nice.
When Z was a baby, I realized that the quilt was pointless. Babies don't need a big quilt. Whose idea was it to make quilts with the baby bedding? So it just stayed in a pile looking pretty. This spring, I finally pulled it out for Z to start using. I wasn't sure that he'd even care about it, but now he does. Every morning, he has it in his hands to bring it with him when I go get him from his crib. And sometimes, he puts it over himself while he naps and gets up REALLY sweaty. Yesterday morning, he had a diaper leak when I got him and of course, a wet blanket.
So I had to wash it. "No, no, no, no," he kept saying when I took it to our laundry closet. Then he cryed when I got it in the wash. (Notice the Tide and Oxyclean - thanks girls).
He was definitely a lot happier when it was all clean. All that hard work of making the quilt has finally come to pay off. I love the fact that he loves his quilt. I sewed it out of love for him while he was growing in my belly. I hope it will always be in his life, and he'll always remember the love I had for him before I even knew him.

Those are some very splenda sweet pictures...La...you know you want some splenda. Sorry got side tracked. Have you ever been to art Thursday? I am prob going this Thurs. We should all go.
Love this entry. M and E's blankets are falling apart to the point that they just have them tucked away in a special place. Z's is still ok and still getting lots of love. Iz loves his, too. They both cry if they catch me washing theirs.
