Thanks, Gramma!

If you are fortunate enough like I am to have a grandmother (or mother) who is crafty and talented, then you may already have something similar to this. My grandmother made this blanket back in the 80's for my first child. When each one of her grandchildren were born, she made a blanket for our first born child. She did this so that we would have something from her, even if she wasn't around to see it. Luckily for me, she was still around when I had my daughter and is still around today in fact. And I get to have this adorable pink blanket as well! I am not using it as you would traditionally use a blanket however. I decided to display this great work of art as a wall hanging in my daughter's bedroom. She loves it because it's pink and has animals on it. I love it because it's handmade from the heart and it looks adorable hanging on her wall. Each square is hand embroidered with an animal for a children's story. Take a closer look...
