A special thanks to Becky Jane at Rise Above Your Limits for the wonderful gifts I won in her recent giveaway. Please visit her blog for some inspiration and fun. She's one on my "must read daily" list. Thanks, Becky for the home made blankie and the candle. I love them!
Here is the blanket she made me. It is so soft and the colors are perfect for me. It will go in my living room, my guest room or my bedroom. I may have to become like Linus and just cart it with me everywhere I go.
She also sent me a candle from Scents in Soy on Etsy. The smell is divine. I just keep walking by and picking it up to smell it. It's Sweet Orange & Green Clover and is so fresh and springy.
She couldn't have sent any better gifts. I love candles and have them all over the house. But I am OBSESSED with fleece blankets. I don't know why. My husband laughs every time I buy a new one. I guess he thinks I'm storing up for another ice age. But I just like blankies. Here are some of my faves.
My Mom made me this one and the pillow to match to go along with one of my favorite dolls.
I got this one at the Bass Pro Shop when it opened in Kodak. It is my nightly companion....unless one of the boys are spending the night. They have claimed it as "the boys" blanket. (By the way, now that I have a nice new blankie with pink in it, I'm sure the girls will claim it as "the girls" blanket.)
My mom made me this one. It graces the foot of my bed. The material she used matches the quilt square on my quilted bed cover.
My sister made me this one in honor of the Great Smoky Mountains.
My mom and sister came down one weekend and we worked on crafts. This was my first attempt at primitive stitchery. It was fun. I've made a few things since then, but haven't stuck with it like they have. It's a great winter craft.
These are just two green ones I have that I haven't done any stitchery on yet. Haven't decided what I want to put on them. But I loved the colors and they were on sale for $3.00 each so I HAD to have them.
Those are my blankies. Thanks for letting me share.
