Grace Marie

One sassy lady "needed" a b.leave blanket for a baby shower gift
(noticing a trend here?) and gave us free reign. The final result has
a hip pink and orange border with a great medallion design. The main
fabric is this beautiful soft floral with the pink and orange pops!
(We are so obsessing over these two colors right now! Hot! Hot!
Hot!) And of course, a giraffe back gives any blanket a touch more
sass! We so love the final result and have adored all the compliments
that came with it! So, Grace Marie, rock this b.leave, you stylin'
little Miss!

Stella Elizabeth

As Stella Elizabeth's arrival gets closer and closer, her momma is
putting finishing touches on her nursery. This beautiful room is full
of perfect pinks and plums with an accent of gold. We were so excited
to be asked to do an initial pillow and b.lovie for this sweet baby!

The b.lovie has two great geometric patterns in pink, plum, gold and
the most perfect light blue. We love how the soft circles coordinate
with the straight lines on the ruffle! So fun yet sweet!

The initial pillow will be the perfect accent in Miss Stella's nursery
with the hand embroidered "S" in a lovely plum colored thread. We
used the same plum ruffle from the b.lovie, but this time mixed it
with a wonderful gold fabric adorned with pink flowers! We think it
is just the sweetest thing!

Now the nursery only needs one more thing to be complete - Stella
Elizabeth! We wonder how patiently her parents are waiting on this
final package!?!?!

Mike and Melissa's Little Miss

How fab is this b.loved blanket? Pretty great in our opinion, if you're asking!
The turquoise background has the best red branches with the tiniest
pink flowers! We paired it with a red and pink polka dot border and
solid pink background that just says I'm one confident little lady!
And the little lady that gets to be the proud owner of the beloved
blanket? We're glad you asked! Mike and Melissa are having a girl
sometime soon who's name is still in the works! We are looking
forward to an update on this sweet bundle and hopefully pic or two!

Marley Elizabeth

In less then a month Marley Elizabeth will be a whole two years old,
and her momma wanted us to concoct an extra special gift! We love the
final result of this b.long blanket! The flowers and pink accents
give a touch of girly mixed in with a whole bunch of fun, a little
whismy and tons of cool! We have a pretty good feeling Miss Marley
has more than enough style to rock this blanket!
The b.long, which is actually a crib size blanket, has turned into a
top pick for toddlers. It is just the right width and length to lay
out and lounge on or cuddle under next to daddy or mommy!

George Stratford

The countdown has begun, and George Stratford should be here soon!
And by soon we mean the chances of him having a birthday before
Wednesday are more than likely!

So, what is the perfect blanket for a little man with such a strong
and classic name? Depends on who's doing the buying!

George's aunt wanted him to have a great b.loved blanket with classic
elements but still that cassie mae "pop." We went with fabulous
polkadots in traditional boy colors paired with a green on green
pattern! The back is just the best army green, and we heard rumors
that little George's momma just loved it! Makes us happy!

The little lime birds on George's b.lovie have been calling to us (or
should we say chirping?) for quite some time! A family friend thought
they would be just right! We paired them with the lime medallion border and think the result is too, too cute!

We have been waiting and waiting to post these pics! Finally, George's presents are in his momma's hands, and we can share! Don't worry, if you buy a present from us, we will keep your secret too!

Adler William

Adler William already has quite a fan club considering he has two
older siblings anxiously awaiting his arrival! Hopefully this sweet
b.lovie will remain his possession instead of being "adopted" by big
brother or sister. Speaking of the b.lovie, it was part of the shower
decorations. Originally, it was intended for the top of the diaper
cake (great idea, right?) but found its home on a clothesline full of
sweet itty bitty outfits - you know, the ones we all see and
immediately start reminiscing about how we just don't remember our
babies ever being THAT tiny! So Adler, enjoy being oh so small -
everybody loves to cuddle a new little one!

William Joseph

This great little b.lovie has manly stripes in great rustic colors
with pops of turquoise! Oh, and did we mention the burnt orange?
That's right - William's parents are HUGE University of Texas fans,
and their sweet friend thought little mister needed even more of the
longhorn's color in his life! We hope William loves this b.lovie
enough to take it to UT with him his freshman year!

Little Miss M

This beautiful b.long is an extra-special keepsake for the beautiful
Little Miss M. While looking for a sweet vintage-inspired fabric, we
came across these enchanting birds in soft, feminine colors. And
then- suprise!- we learned this was the same fabric used in Little
Miss M.'s room! Perfect! Her very loving foster mommy is sending
this with Little Miss M. as she embarks on a new stage of her life.
We know this girly little cuddle-bug is going to love snuggling up in
this precious gift.

Sizing Things Up

Having a hard time deciding which size beloved blanket to order? Our
suggestion - one of each! Why not, right? However, if you're not
going to take our expert advice, here is a visual to help you out...
Pictured from left to right: b.lovie, b.loved, b.long, b.leave

Andrew Scott

This b.loved blanket is for a special guy who will be blessing his
family any day now! Andrew Scott will immediately fill the role of
little brother and playmate, although big brother Edward might be a
bit disappointed he can't play cars right away!
As all you mommies of second (or third or fourth or fifth...) children
know, all their possession aren't bright and shiny and new like they
were with number one! A family friend thought Andrew needed his own
beloved blanket that he can affectionally call "mine" right around the
age of two!
We love the soft blues mixed with gray in this modern yet traditional
animal pattern. And the not-so-straight vertical and horizontal line
on the border add a just right detail! How cute will a little bundle
of boy look snuggled up in this!?!

Lots of b.lovin' for Caroline Elizabeth

We've been waiting to post these pics! Caroline Elizabeth and her
sweet momma have a shower today, and boy are they loved!

Caroline's Nana decided she MUST have a hand embroidered pillow in her
nursery. We went with the soft turquoise fabric accented with giraffes
and a sweet and simple Milan red border with a white floral design.
This pillow coordinates perfectly with the nursery! Check out the
details of the embroidery and ruffle!

Some special friends wanted sweet Caroline to have a great everyday
blanket, so they ordered a b.loved size blanket! We love the bright
colors combos and sassy girl look on this blanket - as in we're
obsessing!

Finally, some other friends are giving an "on the go essentials"
basket which would not be complete without a b.leave blanket! Because
Caroline's momma loooooves giraffe, they requested we included the
turquoise fabric! We paired this with a soft, super feminine floral
including creams, salmons and pinks.

All in all - Miss Caroline Elizabeth is one lucky girl! Now, if she
would just make her debut! We are dying to see her!

Sweet Stella is Here!

Check out this absolute beauty! Stella Margaret arrived in early July
and could not be more perfect! Stella's best accessory? The b.leave
blanket for sure!

Gage Nolan

So, we loooooooooove all the babies we get to make goodies for, but
sometimes it's cool to create a special touch for a big kid!

Gage Nolan's hip momma recently contacted us looking for an added
accent for his bedroom! Gage has had a big boy room for a looong
time, but he is now nine years old! That means it is time for a bit
of updating. We felt an initial pillow (hand embroidered, of course)
was the perfect fix!

Gage is quite an active fellow. On top of playing tons of sports, he
skateboards, rides BMX bikes and is wanting to start triathlons just
like his daddy! With all this go, go, go his mom couldn't get enough
of this fab turquoise fabric with the white bicycles! We embroidered
(by hand - wink, wink) a small "g" in the corner because the little
details are a big deal to us!

The final result? "Sick!" (Apparently that's a huge compliment!)

Boring Baby Bedroom?

Well, we've got the solution! Fix it with a little belovin' of
course! We're talking our fabulous HAND EMBROIDERED initial pillows!
That's right! These babies are the perfect special touch for your
baby's bedroom (even if your baby isn't quite a baby anymore, but more
on that later...)! Ready, set, ORDER!

Maddox Jack

Maddox Jack is not scheduled to arrive until October, but we are
already sure the little man is bound for greatness! Why, you ask?
Well, look at his awesome b.leave blanket.

The idea all started as we made the body out of the rockin' "tie
striped" material. We loved the turquoise and black mixed in with the
olive green and deep red. This was paired with a whimsical paisley and
a super mod gray on the back. As it all came together we felt it take
on the look of a truly classy, well tailored suit that still has the
spunk we love to provide through our beloved blankets. So here's to
Mister Maddox, his first "power suit," and the amazing things he will
do in life!

WOW! Now we've got ourselves all excited about what the future holds
for Maddox Jack! We're hoping his mom keeps us updated!

Henley Claire

This oh so girly b.lovie is for a precious little bundle - trust us,
we've seen pictures! Henley Claire's momma thought she needed an
extra special beloved blanket because not only is she the second child
with tons of hand-me-downs, but she looooves to hold onto any and all
things. According to her mom, if Henley Claire is going to drag
something around, she wants her to do it with style! We are happy we
were chosen to make this happen!

Plum

This b.leave blanket was just fun to make! We received an order for
"my quasi-hippie friend in Montana." From there, putting together the looks
was a blast, and the final result couldn't be better! This beloved
blanket is named for little Isabel Marie, but we are calling it "Plum"
because that's what her parents will call her!

Averi Ashlyn

Check out this super unique b.loved blanket. A special someone ordered
this for her friend's first little girl Averi Ashlyn. We were given
free reign on the look and absolutely love the result!

Stay Tuned...

Elizabeth Mae

This fun, fresh b.long is going to live with a precious, bubbly little
girl. Elizabeth Mae's mommy picked this beloved blanket special for
her second birthday! We just love the bright color combos and
whimsical feel of this blanket!

A Bassinet for Caroline Elizabeth

We were beyond thrilled when Caroline Elizabeth's Mommy and Nana asked
us to do custom bedding for her bassinet! We were even more excited
when we laid eyes on the bassinet - a 1950s wicker piece that is oh so
cool! We just love, love, love the final product and can't wait to
see a picture of sweet Caroline trying it out!

Thinking of Ordering?

Now's the time!

Next week we are going on a fabric shopping spree and would love to
shop with your beloved in mind!

Cullen Brigg

Remember Austyn Claire and that ever so fun b.loved blanket from her
sweet aunt? Well, Aunt Lindsey strikes again! This time she is going
to make the day of Austyn's cousin Brigg! The super studly b.loved is
going to a little man that's sure to be a heart throb!

Rylie Ann

This funky b.leave is for a precious little six month old Rylie Ann!
Although originally made as a car carrier blanket, our customers have
let us in on another secret - this sized beloved blanket is perfect
for little loves to drag, um we mean carry around! Sweet Rylie Ann's
mama is a teacher, and the family of one of her little students has
picked this b.leave out as a late baby gift and teacher gift! What a
genius idea!

What Will My Name Be?

This beloved blanket is currently nameless, but that's not a bad
thing! You see, we sent two looks to a client who couldn't make up
her mind, so she ordered them both! We know this b.long will end up
in good chubby little hands, and we can't wait to hear all about its
future owner!

Asher Ray

This b.longs to a new little fella by the name of Asher Ray! (Great
name, isn't it!?!?!) We have no doubt this beloved blanket will b.long
to one cool kiddo!

Addison Grace

This sweet b.long is for a new little bundle, Addison Grace! We are
b.lovin' the solid cream back and the fresh look of these fun fabrics!

All Dressed Up and Ready to Go!

Who Wouldn't Love Opening this Package?

Cooper Ames - You Handsome Fella, You!

Ummmm...check out that first picture! We love, love, love, love, LOVE
IT! And those toes, don't you just want to smother them in
kisses!?!?! By the way, I bet we use this pic more than once!

Now, focus your attention on that second picture! Is Cooper Ames a
handsome little fella or what? (Oh yeah - we are kind of fond of his
b.loved blanket too!)

Finally, if you live in or around Lubbock, Texas or if you just want
to go check out Buddy Holly's birthplace; take the time to have
Cooper's mommy take your pictures! She is A.MAZE.ING with a
personality you just can't get enough of! Look how fab her and Cooper
made his b.loved look!

Stella Jane

We are b.lovin' the bold pattern on this b.loved made extra special
for Stella Jane who will be here any day! A bestie of Stella's
grandma had this blanket made to welcome her to this world!

Alyssa Jane

Alyssa Jane will have an extra special b.loved blanket waiting on her
when she arrives! One of her mommy's precious friends wanted a super
girly feel, and we are just head over heels for these sweet roses!
