My New Blankie!

Sunday, we trekked out to Front Royal to visit my DH's grandma, aka Mema, and his parents. We had lunch and a nice visit. Then I got a fabulous surprise. Mema used to crochet afghans and she still has many of them - they're all gorgeous!

Much to my surprise, my MIL told me that Mema had one of them earmarked for me! I was absolutely thrilled! As a crafter myself, I truly treasure handmade items. When we located the afghan, I discovered it was purple! Wahoo! It's deep purple (it looks blue in the photo), lilac, and white with deep purple edging. I LOVE IT!!!!


Mema recalled that I was "absolutely crazy about purple", so she decided I definitely needed to have the purple afghan. I felt soooo special! I've already used it too - I took it to yoga last night to snuggle under for Savasana. There's nothing that more comforting than a handmade blankie! Thanks Mema!
