Following our recent near-loss of beloved 'blankie' (posted about here), we have been counting our blessings to still have this precious item. I enjoyed Jane Brockett's recent exultation of granny crochet blankets here and wanted to share our love of these creations made with such love (and thrift!). 'Big blankie' has recently been put to use as part of the roof for the 'blankie grotto' which Boo likes to be constructed for play in her room.
Little blankie was once her near-constant companion, trailed around after her, grasped onto at 'parting from mama' times or times of distress, rubbed into the face at naptime. Now it's usually still around, but takes on different roles in Boo's play, it's a headdress, a bed for her toys, a picnic blanket, a dress, a tent. Our blankies were made by my granny for my sister when she was a baby (she's now 28), and I couldn't be happier than Boo has such affection for them.
