From your nose to your toes

We are a family of blanket lovers. 
 
Not because we are cold, but because there is something comforting about having a soft, familiar and, yes, warm blanket wrapped around you.  Snuggles in the chair are better with a blanket and beds are so much cozier with blankets piled high.  However, to compensate for all the added blankets in your bed, you must then sleep with a fan on - no matter the season, no matter the temperature.  Trust me on this one. 
 
When a sister in law reminded me about the wonderful charity that is Project Linus and expressed interest in making tie blankets to donate,  I happily jumped on the Black Friday sales at JoAnn fabrics.  
 
 
 
I only purchased enough material for us to make 8 blankets.  But that's 8 more children (or teens) who are "seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need" that will know the security, comfort and warmth that a blanket can bring.  Its a simple act on our behalf but to the recipients, the effects are ever lasting.
