Ages ago, Stacy posted a tutorial about how to make a taggy blanket.

Ok, maybe it was months ago.

Hmmm, it could have been a year.

I saved the tutorial back before E.C. arrived June 9, 2009. That should tell you something. I bought the fabric and the ribbons with my Mom probably in May.

Last Saturday with the assistance of my Mom, my sewing machine may be set up, but W.W. finds it far more fun to play hide and seek with the needle then allow me time to use it.

We pinned, basted, stitched, ironed, and turned it right side out resulting in an oversized taggy blanket for E.C. Not the best shot, taken with my faithful camera phone, but definitely a moment of accomplishment.

E.C. immediately started sucking on the taggies. With the third tooth almost in I think we managed to get it completed in the nick of time.

CoffeeShop does have a Blog Diptych that may work for some of you.

I tweaked it a little bit as the action itself did not quite work the way I wanted it too.

My “dark” shot arrived courtesy of the snow showers we drove through on our way up to the crest for some sledding. Shot through the windshield of the truck with my camera phone, yes, I edited this one to bring out some starkness. The original was just a tad on the blurry side and needed sharpening. However, I really liked the water droplets on the windshield. They seemed to give the picture more depth that I expected it to have.

I love New Mexico.

Growing up in Virginia, Illinois, Paraguay, later Washington, and more recently New Mexico, I love the desert and the people who touch my heart here.

I never considered in my wildest dreams, my marriage, my children, our home in the valley next to the Rio Grande river. Moving has often been a way of life for me, however, I do love my life here in New Mexico. I treasure it for the memories of all the places visited and the love discovered and grown here.
