Let me just preface this for my readers. I know that when many of you feel crafty you make entire quilts, beautiful dolls for your children, Halloween costumes that belong in museums.... (oh wait maybe that's all the same person) But when I feel crafty it's momentous.
I had so much fun, I went ahead and whipped up another one! (which I will give to that certain super-crafty friend for her new little baby boy as part of this contest, if she promises not to scoff at my attempts and keeps in mind that it's the thought that counts) 
The best part was that it was a total hit! Mr. Asher loved it! He didn't put it down once the whole day. He was absolutely fascinated with it.
Those of you who don't know, I like to claim Asher as my part-time baby. He spends a lot of time with our family and my girls completely adore him. We're lucky enough to get him while my sister goes to work every day. This is the perfect set-up for me since I get to smile and coo at a cute baby all day, and I can give him back to his mommy when he's tired and grouchy. 
When I found out my sister was having a little baby boy, I ran to the craft store and bought all the stuff to make him a taggie blanket. I was going to give it to her for a shower gift but never quite found the time, then it was going to be a hospital gift, then it was a blessing gift... Needless to say my nephew is 4 months old and I when I opened my closet yesterday I saw the JoAnn's sack still sitting there begging for some love from me.
But yesterday I finally got inspired! I dug out the old sewing machine and got to work.
I'm pretty proud of the end result. I know my sewing skills are a little rusty, but at least I finished something I started.

That taggie blanket is super cute, and it looks like little Asher loves it!! You are more talented than you give yourself credit for!
That is really cute. You'll have to tell me how you made it. I'm having a boy. Maybe I can make him one.
So I'm super duper impressed by your hidden talents. It looks aweseome. I've never seen a taggie blanket but I can see why any kid would LOVE them! Good job!
That is so cute. I should have you show me how to make one for Kaylee. Your little extra guy looks like a lot of fun.
