The proof is in the pudding (or blankie, as it were)

This is Archie. He is the gorgeous little Christmas baby that my great friends Phil and Sarah were blessed with. And he has the first tag blanket I made in his hot little hand.

Sarah and I went through our pregnancies together - our due dates were just a week apart, but Archie and Holly arrived nearly a month apart!

Sarah's baby shower gift was this handmade blankie and a matching giraffe toy, and I hoped that her wee baby would be enamoured by them when he arrived.

I have had reports that he won't let his blanket go, so here's hoping it remains a favourite (and my sewing stands the test of time!).
