Baby Blanket

It's been busy around here. When is it not, right? We were thrilled this past weekend to take a little road trip to meet my new niece. She is a precious little thing. But we couldn't go empty handed could we?
So I whipped up a little flannel blanket.  Nothing new and out of the ordinary I know.  But I did add the fat rick rack and I think it's adorable.  It just adds a fun element to it.
Another little extra:  I used my Silhouette to add the Letter A.  (It stands for her name.)  I love the personalized touch.  With the left over material I made a little lovey. 
 My kids have loved having a small blanket they can carry around easily.  Plus, what is it about tags that kids love?  My little man has practically worn out the tag on his.  Ever since he was tiny he would rub it on his cheek and ear.  Hopefully Baby A will love this just as much.
That's what I worked on this weekend.  How about you?

I would love if you could link this up to my blanket party! We lost our baby in August and are working really hard to create a blanket drive this year for Project Linus. All year each monday we are having blanket tutorials and then the last monday of the month a blanket party. Plus I have a great sponsor who is giving away a prize to one of the links - a $172 prize to be exact!!

Feel free to also link up to my blogger of the month party - where more prizes are being handed out!
