<p>Chuck&#8217;s mom is fabulous at sewing. She asked me to keep my eye open for ideas for her to make things for Maddie. I suggested a <a href="http://taggies.com/">Taggies</a> blanket. Maddie is obsessed with tags on her toys. So Linda made these for her. </p>

<p>Which made me want to try making one. This is how mine turned out.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress//HLIC/b102bb7275825bc3374bf0902870ce11.jpg"></p>
<p>I actually made an identical one to the one above for a friend, then thought it was so cute that I made another for Maddie. For this one, there is a rattle inside it that I took out of an old stuffed animal I had when I was a kid.</p>
<p>Then I thought….these would make cute gifts for some other friends. So I made some for a couple friends of mine who just had babies. This is how they turned out. </p>

<p>And this one, I took pictures of, but I hadn&#8217;t sewn it together yet. So this one has pins in it. <img decoding="async" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/wlEmoticon-smile1.png"></p>

<p>I put buttons inside them so they make noise. Maddie loves hers, so I hope my friends&#8217; kids like them when they are a little older. I think these are going to be a go-to gift for me to give to new babies!</p>
<p>Now, Chuck&#8217;s mom also made some balls for Maddie with tags on them. She is already playing with them and chewing on them. How cool are these? </p>

<p>And she even has another project in the making for her and I can&#8217;t wait to share it with you!</p>
