It's Freckles.

It’s been a while, but finally my life doesn’t look like a Rube Goldberg machine. I have a lot to post about, but I’m going to start with something easy. A blankie. 

My friends Mike and Joni of Dex and the Monkey Blanket are expecting their second baby in November. Dex got a monkey blanket and turned out to be somewhat of a monkey, so for this one, they were hoping to channel something a little more calm and gentle. A giraffe. You have no idea how hard it is to find giraffe fabric. Not giraffe and lion and monkey fabric, just giraffe. And then it had to be soft and washable and unisex in color and meet my taste standards (but mostly the latter). Nobody is making something like that. I had to take matters into my own hands and decided to applique two giraffes onto a suitable fabric and go from there. Way more work than usual, but what am I going to do? Make an ugly one? Please.

      

Giraffes, unisex, tasteful, soft. My work here is done.
