Chenille Baby Burp Cloths

So, here's the thing about burp cloths...I was given loads of them when I was pregnant with my first son, and by the time he was just a few days old, I already had some favorites (based on practicality, and of course, aesthetics! :)  Some were too thin to protect my shoulder, others too thick to gently wipe away baby's mouth--others were very practical, but just not very pretty.  Eventually, they all ended up stained with PolyViSol spit up (I had a baby with reflux), so most of them went in the trash!
I had a lot of fun making these sets (and they are so soft I had to make some for my baby-boy-on-the-way, too!).  100% Cotton on the front, backed with super-thick and very soft chenille.  They're soft for baby's face, thick enough to absorb, and well, rather pretty!  Each cloth is approximately 9x15", which is generous for wiping up baby messes, but small enough to fit easily in your diaper bag!

Looking for the Perfect Baby Shower Gift?



Oh, the conundrum--something from the registry, or a beautiful, unique gift that you hand-picked yourself?  Of course, if the mother-to-be has registered with Tweet by the Sea, there's no dilemma at all (we do registries, by the way!), but even if she hasn't, consider this baby shower gift set in the beautiful Heirloom Citrine collection.  No mother can ever have too many burp cloths (especially if she has a baby with reflux like I did!), and the blanket is perfect for baby to cuddle with in the stroller or car seat.  It would work nicely paired with something from Mommy's registry, like bottles or lap pads, so you can be sure you're hitting all the marks!

Two New Stroller Blankets & Burp Cloths

I've just added two new stroller blankets--a gender-neutral one, with the lovely Aqua Snail Scallop fabric from Tula Pink's Prince Charming collection, as well as a modern one for baby girl from Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms collection.  The two generously-sized burp cloths are the "Windy Day" fabric from Backyard Baby.

Stroller Blanket for Baby Girl

I am very excited to be contributing to the shop this week!  I have been dying to get involved in some creative projects for Tweet by the Sea, and I have just added this new stroller blanket to the shop!  It would be the perfect shower or new baby gift, and it has a sweet and soft cotton print on one side, with cuddly, warm minky on the other.  Thanks for taking a look!
