Melanie's shower gifts & Chloe randomness

This is one of the gifts I sewed for Melanie & baby girl Jacobsen (they haven't come up with a name quite yet)! It's a taggie blanket. It is12''x12'' and the ribbon is satin. We bought one for Chloe, and she loved it! So, hopefully Mel's baby will too ;-)
Ta Da!! Here is Melanie's finished bag- YAY! This is the interior. As you can see, it had pleated pockets with elastic at the top and a hard divider. It was definitely a BIG project for a girl who had only sewn 4 or 5 things beforehand! Thanks to Chad's support and help, it turned out great!
Here's an exterior shot. Mel picked out the fabrics, which were terrific! The exterior is Monaluna & the interior is Kaffe Fasset shot cotton. Love it :-) Oh, and the pattern is from Amy Butler's Little Stiches for Little Ones- I like to refer to it as my "hard" book cause her patterns are not exactly beginning sewer material!
Is this a flirty look or what?!?
Absolutely gorgeous!!
