New Blankets

yesterday i went to the store to pick out material for a fleece blanket that i was going to tie for my friend as a baby gift. i came across a totally cute fabric that i liked for mikenna. i thought to myself that i really wanted to make her a blanket. this was a perfect idea. first of all her blanket is a small ragidy old ripped 28 year old yellow blanket. i know this because it is my baby blanket. some how when she was a baby, i used it for her once and never got it back. i have been trying to preserve it but she is so attached to it. my kids have a blanket maniac obsession. anyway, i bought the fabric and made her a nice big comfy blanket.

this is her old blanket...
and i traded her for it with this new one.. and she loves it. last night i gave it to her and to my shock, andon was very upset he didn't get a new blanket. i felt so bad and his blanket is pretty beat up to... plus this is a new interest that i enjoy doing so .....
i went back to the store today, bought some more fabric, and made andon a new fleece blanket as well. i thought it would be so hard for them to let go of there blankets but they love their new ones so we are all happy
getting ready to go to bed with their blankets... now i am trying to find people and things to make some more blankets for.

Love the blankets - old and new. I have been trying to take my older boy's blankets away, but have had no such luck. They now have about 5 blankets each and try to take them everywhere they go. I told them I refuse to let them take them on their missions :) Love the fabric and YOU GO GIRL!
