4 blankets for the fluffies.

Over the last few days I have cut up a pure wool blanket and backed and bound it to make four cot sized blankets for our fluffies.  Best thing is the whole exercise only cost me time to do it lol.  So that's another 4 finishes for my OPAM 2013 list for the month!  Its been a more productive later half to January than the start of it was lol.

The idea for these lovely blankets came from the doogie book and they are backed and bound with polycotton fabrics that my Mum has decided are no longer useful after sitting in her cupboard for about 20 odd years lol.  There are also a pile of toys cut out ie bones and balls but I might try and source some squeaky thingies for them first so they are a little more interesting to Tess.

As you can see from the pics they have lovely mitred corners and if I can kick the cat off I might be able to get the last two washed lol.  Merlin takes great delight in wool blankets and is still rolling around on them lol.

Well off to hem a school dress and sew up those bones.
