Remember I had this old, ultra-bright, not-so-pretty old-fashioned granny-rectangle blanket, that I wanted to bring up to the 21 century?

| Did I say "old-fashioned"? |
My first plan was to maybe make a patch-cover with very colourful fabric - remainders from cushions made for outside (If you can't beat it, join it...)
Then I thought may be denim, to tone it down.
No, maybe a warm red fleece, to make it nice and snuggly for the kids. (And even went and bought 2m of fleece fabric!)
And then I went back to denim, because I have a pile of nice, soft denim.

| I did say bright... |
And then I thought, bugger it all, just use it like that on the spare bed. Going for the vintage look, we have the parquet floors and buckskin ready:

But then last night I just thought I'd take it to Hospice, because I really don't like it. It's not pretty.
What to do?
It might live on the bed until after the holiday, then I'll decide.
Meanwhile...open or folded?
hmm, thats a tricky old blanket. I prefer it open on the bed, rather than folded. But if it bugs you every time you walk past...get rid of it! x
ReplyDeleteTrek hom los en maak iets anders...
ReplyDeleteag nee - jy weet ek hou al van die begin af van hierdie kombers ..!! ek like dit daar op die bed - een week oop en die ander week gevou ... ;)
ReplyDeleteHa haa!! You guys make me smile. I think it will be going. It can stay until my VIP guests return to Ireland in four weeks' time.
ReplyDeleteBecause I have already identified Plan E...
It will be going right into my suitcase when we return to Ireland....that's where it is going.... You know me and colours.
