Weaving in Love

I posted last year about my love for making a special blanket for each of my children before they are born.You can refresh your memory by clicking here. I think it is a great way to bond with your child before they arrive. There is just something special about taking my heart and weaving into the fibers of the yarn to wrap around my babies when they are finally in my arms. I like to think my love is completely wrapping them up,... safe, cuddly, and warm.

I am just over halfway done with Mr. Seth's blanket and decided to do a post to share the results (thus far) with you. I know the colors I picked weren't traditional baby colors, but I try to make the blankets I chose to make for each baby as individual as I can. I spent quite a while looking for a color scheme that would "fit" Seth's personality, and I really hope it captures his personality correctly. I didn't want to do a "baby" blanket because I wanted something that would represent my hope that he will be able to use it as he grows into a little boy. This is my way of trying to see past the pregnancy and birth process to the idea of actually getting to bring this little boy home in my arms instead of just in my heart.




With that being said (and shown), I'd like to share the blankets I've made for each of my children...

We'll start with Ansley's...



And Eli's...



And of course Wyatt's although I know you are familiar with his already.



And Seth's...

Four completely different blankets made with a heart full of love for four unique and special children. I am so blessed to be their mommy!
