The Blanket Known as Instant Warmth
As kids, the four of us each had our own sleeping bag. Mom saves everything, so as adults one day probably 10 years ago we were going through the old things she had saved, and came across the sleeping bags.
I took mine home, and after a very very long period of consideration, cut out the zipper, sewed a sheet to the back side, and made it into a blanket.
I'm sure as sleeping bags go, ours were not especially expensive. But somewhere in the thin, well-worn lining of my sleeping bag is this thing Shea and I have named Instant Warmth. If one is at all chilly, this is the blanket to grab.
Well, this past week I've dealt with chills more than I care to remember, but Instant Warmth was right there for me. And made the trips to the ER with me also. Yes, they have heated blankets there, but they are no match for my sleeping bag.
Yesterday, feeling better than I have all week, I tackled the patching of Instant Warmth.
Seamstress, I'm not.
But she's in her rightful place in the den again now, at the ready.
(I see that the date on my camera is wrong. Will have to fix that too.)
