Blankie Friday - the Happy Birthday Edition

Yeah, it's my birthday. Hey all you lurkers, come out and say hello, mmmkay? There's like thousands of you out there according to the blog stats, and yet I only ever hear from the same twenty or so people. It's depressing. Not that I don't love you, you twenty or so who DO comment!

Alright, today as my birthday present to you, I'm including the full-sized blankie pictures - just click on through if you want the big ones. Oh, and there were 27 squares this week. Not too shabby.

Let's start off with something a little different - blankie with its hair down. I accidentally laid it out with the backside up the first time, and I thought "hey, maybe they'd like to see the backside and all the ends this time." So there you go. You can also see where I normally lay blankie out, and the toys and crappe that I had to shove aside to get a piece of clear floor space.



Here's a close-up of the tangled ends. That's only about a week's worth of ends - the rest are all woven in.



And the standard overhead shot. I usually stand on one of our dining room chairs to get this shot, and it's getting harder and harder to fit the whole thing in the frame.



And this week's close-ups. I don't know what it is with Photoshop the last couple weeks, but it keeps wanting to rotate these for me. This time I'm going to straighten them back out for you. It gave me a headache all last week thinking of the one sideways one.







And finally, what Julie was doing while I started this post...she had dressed up in all her play clothes, and I let her watch a video while I put Sophie down for her nap and that gave me a few minutes of free time. Now she is busy chopping up paper, pretending to make Valentines and driving me crazy because I'm not going to get the glue out right now.
