I'm currently enjoying one of those rare and amazing moments when there's actually quiet in the house. Both of the beasties are down for a snooze, MiniMonster in his room and Bean in the Swing chair, curled up under a big ol' blanket I made originally for MiniMonster.
It's bright colors and maybe a smidge in the 'girly' spectrum, but it's soft and washable and snugly, and they both enjoy curling up under it. I hope they continue to. That's one of the reasons I craft. I like the idea of passing along something that I made with thought and care, to someone who knows how it was made, because it's a little like giving someone a hug they can wear over and over, as long as they know the thought that went into it.
Maybe thats just me being a little sappy but I think I've got the right to be where my kids are concerned.
OK yeah so I'm in my PJs....
