Just a Babette Baby Blanket

Have you ever heard of the Babette Blanket?

It is one of

THE
NEATEST
AFGHAN PATTERNS
EVER MADE ! ! ! ! ! ! !

(Did I shout that too loud?)

This is the complete blanket:

When I first saw it

I knew I wanted to make it.

But

for whom?

I knew I didn't want

to commit

to the whole blanket

just in case it drove me nuts.

Therefore,

I decided

to make it,

in a smaller version,

for Alicia and Jared's

soon to be born son.

I have a saying I like to use:

"From My Heart Through My Hands To You."

This is how I feel

when I get an invitation

to a wedding or baby shower.

I know how much I appreciate

looking at the baby items

that Mom kept

from Lee and I.

I always hope that

someday,

some adult will look back

at their baby items

and know that someone

liked them enough,

even thought the baby wasn't born yet,

to hand make something for them.

So,

I give you
my Baby Babette Blanket.

It still needs a border,

then washed,

dried,

and wrapped

but you get the jist . . . . .
