Cold Blanky

After a long, hard day at work, don't you just love to come home and change into some really soft (and loose) comfortable clothes. Or when you travel, do you always make sure to pack your very own pillow. You know the one that makes you fall to sleep the minute your head hits it. Kind of like your own special security blanket. Well, Kaylee has her security blankets. Yes, I said blankets as in plural. She has two that go everywhere with her. (Actually, she has started leaving them home during the day, but she has to have them at night!!!!) She has one that her mom made her that she calls her Dora blanket. The other one she calls her cold blanky. It was given to her when she was a baby and it was the softest, prettiest chenille blanket with satin on one side (always cool, that's why she called it her cold blanky). It's the Little Giraffe brand which are beautiful blankets. In fact, Katie Holmes buys them in bulk for her child.

Well, unfortunately, the satin ripped right down the middle! When she came to see us last weekend, she asked if I could fix it for her. I really had my doubts. The satin is nearly thread bare all around the edges. Together, we were able to fix it.

Look at the concentration on her face! We put a decorative stitch down the seam so maybe it will last a little longer.

You can click on the picture above and see how tattered it is. I'm not sure how much longer it will last, but I do think it will last as long as she wants or needs it. It just may not be all in one piece!
