I am just in shock that in two weeks Taylor will be starting pre-k. She's never been in any kind of daycare or mother's day out; it's always just been the two of us hanging out together. Needless to say, I'm a little nervous... for me. No, not so much for her. She's a little social butterfly that's wanted to be in school ever since she learned that there was such a place. I'm really excited for her. I'm not gonna know what to do with myself without her around her all day.All nerves and excitement aside, though, we have to get this gal ready. When she heard she needed a blanket and pillow for nap-time she asked if I'd make her something (sweet girl). So, I let her browse fabric on etsy till she found this great butterfly print by Alexander Henry from bellasarababy. I'm thinking a simple flannel backed blanket, maybe tied, will do the trick. Of course, I'll post a pic or two when it's done :)And, while we were in her shop we had to browse the clothes and Taylor picked out the cutest skirt ever! The fabric and skirt came in the mail today and she had to put it on right away! I didn't get to look at it long, but the quality looks great. It's a good thing; once she falls in love with an outfit it's hard to get her out of it!
As promised, here are the pictures of the new nap-time blankie. I decided that it really didn't need tying since the flannel sticks pretty well to the cotton. It's just a simple, sew it right sides facing, leave a hole, turn it, then top stitch around the edge (note: I should have changed to a top-stitching needle to make the stitches look a little nicer, but I'm out and too lazy to go to the store). Easy peasy. I did add a little special something to the backside, though.
