. . . slinkee minkee oops! blankees . . .

. . . seems like most kids 

have a favorite blanket . . .

. . . mine all did . . .

. . . amelia was my least picky 

blankie lover . . .

. . . when she was a baby, 

my neighbors and i 

treated ourselves 

to diaper service . . .

{we went green before it was cool to go green ~ save our landfills!}

. . . i can still remember the scent 

of those 

freshly laundered deliveries . . .

. . . seriously heaven . . .

. . . unfortunately, 

i can still remember the odor

{there's a definite difference between scent and odor!}

of the diapers waiting 

to be picked up and returned . . .

. . . i would hate to drive that truck ~

especially in the summer! . . .

. . . i digress . . .

. . . amelia's favorite security blanket

 was a cloth diaper . . .

. . . any cloth diaper . . .

. . . and so, 

i must confess, 

i probably never returned 

as many diapers 

as i received . . .

. . . she toted those things around

 everywhere she went . . .

. . . my neighbors most likely still have 

in their stash of cleaning rags 

the remnants 

of an abc diaper service prefold . . . 

. . . sorry abc diaper service . . .

. . . anyway . . .

. . . amelia called a few days ago 

to say that her little guy, colby, 

is very attached to his blankie . . .

. . . he may or may not 

stand at the dryer door 

and cry on laundry day . . .

{the apple does not fall far from the tree}

. . . and could i please make him 

a backup taggy blankie . . .

. . . a little larger 

than the one he has . . .

. . . always up for a challenge, 

i got right on it . . .

. . . and if you buy 

enough fabric to make one, 

you automatically have 

enough to make three . . .

. . . or six . . .

. . . or twelve . . .

. . . which means a lot of tags . . . 

. . . and a lot of sneezing . . .

. . . minkee sheds 

and flies everywhere . . .

. . . but we apparently have one satisfied customer . . .

. . . so far . . .

. . . all twelve 

slinkee minkee oops! blankees 

are available for purchase . . .

{except for the one i gave colby, 

and the one i gave cameron, 

and the one i'm sending to hayden}

. . . they are microfiber minkee fleece

 on one side . . .

. . . 100% polyester satin 

on the other side . . .
. . . the boy versions 
are about 17" square . . .
. . . the girls' measure 
at a more petite 15" square . . .

. . . they each have 

about 28-32 satin ribbon tags 

triple stitched for extra security . . .

. . . they are very touchable . . .

. . . and they don't smell bad . . .
