taggy love

The beautiful girl has a new love in her life.

Her 'Love'.

The beautiful boy got his taggy when he was about eight months old.

He has loved it ever since.

It has been his bed time companion

and his comfort when poorly.

He never got attached to any soft toys

but labels were 'his thing' as a baby

and his 'Taggy' has always been popular.

I liked the idea that the beautiful girl might have one too.

But I also know that children tend to find their own favourite things

and that no amount of pushing will convince them otherwise.

So I resisted getting one while I was pregnant

and again when she first born.

But when she started showing a real love for cuddling and chewing her dresses

and her muslin clothes

and her blankets,

I saw my chance.

I contacted Louise at A Little Bit Dotty

(who made my beautiful babies some gorgeous personalised Christmas things)

and asked her if she could help

and make my baby girl a taggy comfort blanket of her own to love.

She asked my brief and then set to work.

A few days later this beautiful blanket arrived on my doorstep.

If I wasn't sure that love at first sight existed,

I am now.

Because it was an instant love thing for my beautiful girl and her 'Love'.

She cuddles it,

she chews it,

she softly strokes the fabric

and she laces the ribbons in between her fingers.

Love has been everywhere with my baby girl ever since

and has been much admired too.

It has a lovely smooth quilted backing,

different sizes, colours and textures of ribbon all around

and a beautiful pattern on top

(I got to pick the top fabric myself and I'm in love with it.)

I wasn't asked to do a review

and I paid for this item myself,

but I am so impressed with the repeated good service I've had from A Little Bit Dotty.

She makes some stunning things

from personalised pillows and duvet sets

to smaller gifts and decor items.

Definitely worth a look,

I'm already planning the next commission . . .

I'm thinking pillows!
