my friend allison has twin nephews that will turn one next week. she was looking for a really special gift for them. i suggested that we make a blankie, a lovey, whatever you want to call it. i had seen the idea on another blog and it had a super soft material and some silky tags around the edges. the tags could be just for touch and comfort or function, i.e...attach a toy with a plastic ring. we had a great time figuring out different fabrics and patterns and ribbons we could use. we even appliqued their initial on each one since they are otherwise the same. twins have to share so much other stuff, why should they have to share a blankie? sooooo, check out our handiwork...i think the boys will love them. happy birthday atticus & isaiah!
