The Twitter baby blanket
When you're 39/40 weeks pregnant and decide to make a blanket for your baby (because you made one for your son before he was born and want to avoid future therapy or at least sibling squabbles) -- and you unwittingly use the Twitter bird in the blanket -- well, you might stop to think you're online too much.
(The yellow isn't really that yellow. And the green isn't really that pea-soupy. And those are a firefly and a caterpillar, if you're wondering.)
(At least the bird is making an attempt to smile.)
Also, I have to wonder: why didn't I start this project sooner? There's nothing like a big belly and enough extra weight to equal another whole Man-cub to make bending over and pinning fabric a new pastime: aerobic quilting. (See, sometimes I actually do exercise.) But I can't really call this a quilt because I'm not that artful.
So the baby has a blanket, the room is ready, friends just gifted me with a carload of diapers and wipes at a sweet baby shower right on the beach, my hospital bag is packed and today is as good a day as any to have a baby ....
Do you think Twiller is a good middle name?
Oops again!

I LOVE the Twitter bird on the quilt. It's a really cute icon, and fits with a baby motif.
Just think - - - when baby girl is an adult, you can tell her the STORY of what Twitter was - - - it will be all vintage then.
It's super cute! Good job! Twitter be damned - it's just a birdie.
too funny and I think the blanket is adorable!
That blanket is fabulous! I am very impressed!
Twitterina? Twila? Twitton?
You're too funny. Aerobic quilting. You might be on to something.
When is your edd? Because I think June 24th is the day for you. It's my daddy's birthday and he's a wonderful Boppa.
Gorgeous blanket! So jealous of your blanket making talent.
i don't care who you are that's funny stuff!
Love it...the blanket and the twitter bird! Can't wait to see pics of the new bambino chillin' on the twitter blanket. Of course, by this point, I'm sure you can't either.
Aerobic quilting? I am definitely going to have to remember that one. Hilarious, Holly. However, I must say that I am impressed by all that you have been able to accomplish!

OOooo that is the sweetest blanket ever!!!!!
I was hand basting on the floor tonight wondering why I waited this long to finish the floor play mat that I started :)
I am so excited for you. Not long now!!! (I received the CD in the mail today, thx!)
Nice blanket - but a weird name. Yesterday I got you over 18% and today I moved you over 19% and tomorrow, I think I can get you over 20%.
That little birdie is EVERYWHERE! What a cute blankie, though. You are very ambitious to tackle this in such an advanced state of preggers. So impressed.
HEHE! Love it...maybe Twitter does make a good middle name...Twitt for short...wait, that's not good.
The blanket is really cute, and now that you've got the diapers, you are good to go.
You could sell those. People would buy them like CRAZY.
Cute blanket. I never did any projects when I was pregnant. I never seemed to have the energy. Anyway, as far as names go, this is your baby, name the child whatever YOU want.
Twitter blanket. *sigh* It DOES kinda go with the whole FLY theme...
