Good Morning Trippy Nation! I was so frustrated after last nights sale I went in and finished a blanket I was making so I guess something good came of the sale even though it wasn't a trippy tip lol.

Pretty Sun. Is that fleece?

Yes. That is what I do instead of sleeping lol. I love these blankets to snuggle or nap with. The next one will be tie-dyed blue fleece backed with kitties and then another is the black and white to the far right of the pic backed with red poppies.... I found a way to braid the edges instead of knot them and it makes them so much more comfortable....

Looks like the cotton quilt i made but mine was Halloween on one side and Christmas on the other side :lol: . My son stole it and now it is full of holes but very well loved.

That fleece is going to keep you nice and warm.

Peace -- my most treasured blanket is an old lilac silk covered wool blanket that my grandmother would put over me in winter when I stayed with her as a girl. I loved to sleep with my grandmother -- don't know why as I was always asleep when she came to bed and she was always up when I awoke but I guess I slept with her until I was about 11 or 12 years old. Ah....those fresh smelling line dried sheets and listening to the planes drone through the open window in summer...
good memories...

I am going to start another one this afternoon and will get Dh to film it on my camera... I am assuming I can take a file like that and load it onto youtube or photobucket? Anyone know about this? There are a few tricks I learned... I can type it out but to see it would be easier....

Oh that is so neat Sun. I have always wanted to make one. Maybe I will give it a whirl.

It is very easy to do and I would be glad to help you do it. I buy 7 foot lengths so the blanket can accommodate tall people or a bunch of kitties down around your feet :laugh:
