blankets, birthdays, and the blues





Yesterday, in honor of turning 18 in a week, my mom and I went out to go shopping for a blanket.
What I was looking for was a fluffy flannel blanket just like the one my aunt and uncle have. It is like wrapping yourself in a blanket of heaven- so comfortable.

We went all around looking for one. We went to K-Mart, Wal-mart, Kohl's, and bed bath and beyond, and did not find a single flannel blanket. The whole day was super hectic and emotionally draining. My hormones were going haywire on me for some reason, causing everything to make me sad and weepy.

Finally, we decided to give up and go to Chipotle and treat ourselves after a stressful day of shopping. (Most shopping days end up that way)

Lo and behold there was a Joann's Fabrics across the parking lot from Chipotle.
We decided since we couldn't find what we were looking for we would just make one.

We decided to make a flannel duvet cover to put on a down comforter that I already had.

My mom did most of the sewing, and I did a lot of the cutting, and pinning, and ironing seems.
We watched the movie Ever After, with Drew Barrymore while we did it. I love that movie. It makes me so excited to find my charming, regal, man of honor.


God Bless,
Breezie
