blankets

Oh, how I love blankets.

.
I don't know what it is about blankets that make them just so comforting, but they are like magic.
Everyone in our family loves to cuddle under a 'special' blanket and watch movies or when it is cold, or just for comfort.
.
This love and desire inspired me, as I was trying to think of 'meaningful' Christmas gifts for the family. I decided I would make everyone their own special blanket filled with Love.
Thus, whether they are cold, tired, or just maybe a little in need of a cuddle - they would be able to be literally feel the love.
.
It took a remarkable amount of time, surprisingly.
But, each blanket, each material, each bit was specially picked for each person.
... and they turned out cute and cuddly...
.
The girls helped me to make decisions.

Here are some examples:

and yes, the pups got their own too.

They seem to love them!

...and they seem to know which one belongs to which dog.

I did make the birds "bird blankets" too.
I didn't take a picture, but it is basically a hanging little nest for them to sleep in. (:
