1/2 the Family...ALL sorts of Fun Night

Several years ago my best buddy Karen made me the most amazing blanket. Its one of those ones that's tied and made of fleece material.

It is out of this world! It's the warmest thing ever! It's been through baseball games, soccer games, drive in movies.... you name it! It's a world known traveler.

Only problem is.....it is sooooo warm and toasty that EVERYONE wants to use Mom's blankie! Even when they are sick! Craziness!


Now skip forward to this weeks 1/2 family Friday Night. (Hubby and Nessa were both working..hence the 1/2 family!)
Bubba and I decided it was time to take on a project. He had been asking to make one the "famous" blankets for himself. ( I was happy to oblige if it meant more time with MY blankie!)



So we headed off to Wal Mart Friday night and picked out the best fleece possible. Since he plans to redo his room this summer, he planned ahead and went with something that would match....keeping in mind not getting anything too light or else it would end up dirty....like his other blankies!





We came home and set out on a mission. With rulers and scissors in hand we were off and running. ( not with the scissors IN our hands of course!)

Measure...cut...measure...cut...



We got the hang of it, and before you knew it, we were off and tying. We had our system going. Bubba would tie the first knot and then I would come behind him and finish up the second knot making sure everything was coming out ok!

At last we had Bubba's Blankie! Hopefully, one day Hubby and Nessa will want to make their own blankies too! Then we can ALL have our own! ( and I will no longer have to share!)
