Blankets...

I have been so amazed at how people have been so willing to help out with my blanket project.  It seriously baffles me.  The generosity of people is so amazing.

I have been researching fabric and I found my absolute favorite but it is so expensive, which means less blankets.  So I'll find something else or just buy them.  I really think it would be so fun to make them...but I'm just grateful to be able to donate anything.

The bags I place the blankets in are fun to make.  I stayed up till 3 in the morning stenciling them last year the night before Declan's birthday.  I loved every minute of it.  They weren't perfect and I was disappointed at first that they had flaws.  But when I showed my friends they didn't seem to even notice.

I wash each blanket in the baby laundry detergent.  The smell is amazing.  When I pulled them out of the drier and held them all in my arms I took in their aroma.  I wash my Declan blanket (that he didn't touch) every once in a while with that detergent.  It maybe weird, but I love that smell.

I put the blanket requirements on the Declan's blankets page here and on Facebook.  Let me know if you have any questions.
