Sending gifts for a little Cousin who lives far away…


I had joy of making this cute blanket for my son’s and daughters little cousin who lives far away… Ironically he celebrates the same B’day month as I do. I love giving away books for Birth day that are award winning/ well known authors’/ and also a new authors’ who will make a big statement. I love the classics which we grew up reading and fell in love listening. I have a few that I really love. This was for a 1 year old little boy… I hope he enjoys his B’day gift as much as I did making it with limited time, busy schedules, and notes to write but I did it for him…

I enjoy reading books for my kids and they LOVE listening to them over and over… I guess that is the beauty of writing not an easy task to do but skill worth learning… I adore children book writers and illustrators. Also to do both and publish a book I think is an incredible talent…

The reasons I love to give hard books are all most all the time parents would buy paperbacks… but it is nice to treasure a hard book cover books. You never know if you have the storage you might be able to save some for your grand kids… as oppose to a paperback would be torn easily if the book is a favorite of the child…. I have witness this situation and I have ended buying the hardcover books.

This particular blanket was tied down blanket but keeps you warm yet gives you a feeling that you have been wrapped in a cloud. It is wicked soft…

Hope he enjoys it even though he lives in a warmer climate… all kids’ needs to be tucked in during bed time…

Quote of the day “instead of assuming ask”

Enjoy!

    it was such a lovely blanket , at first i was wondering it will be too warm here in Sri lanka to use it..but his brother got a similar one and he loved playing and crawling in to it..so i started giving my little boy the puppy blanket ..he started gazing at it and im sure he will hold on to it in the long run..
