grandma gifts

Ella's blanket is disreputable. It started out this darling heirloom piece I made for her before she was born and has turned into a flimsy rag. So Mom decided she needed something to replace it. I agreed and started researching cute fabrics. Unfortunately Mom and Ella got to the fabric store before I did and came home with this gem. Fortunately it was only big enough to make a pillow instead of an entire blanket. Mom was equally horrified at the tackiness so insisted her pillow be stuffed with down feathers to compensate. Sooooo Deney! I walked in after Mom gave Ella her new pillow and she was already taking a nap with it on the floor in front of the fridge. Another Grandma success...you're the best! (upcoming posts.. Dallin's obnoxious Star Wars blanket, smocking for twins, and "they'll be so easy" (until the zippers break) matching dresses for all the granddaughters).
