Hootie and the blankie - 16 & 17 of 365

For a friend who had a baby a few month ago, I decided to whip up a ribbon blanket. I never heard of these until recently, but supposedly they enhance the senses, or something like that - differently textures, different sizes, etc. One side is pink fleece, the other side a beige muslin, surrounded by ribbon loops.

Then, based on the owl that's on one of the ribbons, I made a matching owl plushie, stuffed with poly-fil micro beads so he's squishy.
