Am I nuts?

I have about 70 adult blankets made.

Now I am thinking that maybe it would be fun to make little fleece blankets for my beloved babies (the ones born at my hospital in December). I might make mainly little, biddy Saints blankets. Last night at work, the nurses were taking photos of a new baby girl dressed in a "who dat?" onesie and a black and gold hair garter/bow thingie. She was soooo adorable! I was thinking that the photo would be so much cuter with a Saints fleece blanket background. What do you guys think? Am I certifiable????

    If you're nuts
    then so am I. I've been making origami cranes strung with beads in between and selling them, all proceeds go to a local breast cancer charity. There's a Japanese legend that says if you fold one thousand cranes your wish comes true:)

    Keep making those blankets!!

    you are nuts. I think you are doing something you really enjoy! The good thing about it is that so many others benefit and enjoy it as well.

    Go For It!
    You are pro, now. You will be able to produce those baby blankets in a flash. The babies will love feeling the fleece blanket against their skin. So warm and snuggly. I think it is wonderful that you want to bring joy to so many people. You are creating much positive excitement in the hospital...it is a good thing. Everyone should be as nuts as you. World would be a better place.

    Lots of Hugs,

    Cynthia, yes, you are nuts but in a very loving way. I think it is just wonderful that you give of yourself as you do. The babies, along with anyone else lucky enough to receive one of your blankets, will feel the love. You are a one of a kind. Thanks for all you do!!

    Christmas Blankies
    The first blankie is usually very precious to Mom and to think it has Santa on it too. That is a wonderful thought. My husband received a comfort cover from a nurse while in hospital and still covers up with it during the day in his chair. And babies, who doesn't love to spoil them. You enjoy sharing you love so, keep giving.
