This is all of the blankets they would like to have on their bed – every night. Here is the recipe for happienss:
“Dukes of Hazaard” – Ryan’s beloved blanket from his childhood. Well-loved and tattered now. The girls call it the ‘car blankie’. Charming, really.
Character blanket 1 – Purchased by Ann, and came with Hannah’s toddler bed. It’s small and flimsy, and honestly if there was one that was going to mysteriously disappear in the middle of the night, it would be this one!
Ladybugs – My mother in-law, Ann, got two of these for the girls, I believe. Maybe they came from the Dollar Store or something. Inexpensive, but PERFECT for dolls, and for covering little arms.
Ridges – This bedspread is borderline hideous (but also, in some bizarre way sentimental because so many old bedspreads are like this one?), in my humble opinion, with those weird fringe ridges. Not my style, but Hannah ADORES it! ADORES! She calls it her ‘fuzzy’, but it’s not fuzzy, it’s weird. It came with the bed from the inlaws with a truly FUZZY blanket underneath, which of course, is also included in this pile.
Character blanket 2 – Purchased by Ann, and came with Hannah’s toddler bed. It’s small and flimsy, and honestly if there was one that was going to mysteriously disappear in the middle of the night, it would be this one!
Made by Pam - Most of you recall Pam knitting this blanket that was in the second Stitch N’ Bitch book. She made this for little Clementine. It’s incredibly warm, and when it’s not on the bed, it’s often in the van to keep little legs warm on trips to school in the morning.
Made by Janella – Dear dear, Janella knitted this for baby Hannah. It’s quite little and is often used for bundling a herd of ponies as they lay nestled in between two little girls.
Fuzzy – See above for origin. It is synthetic and fuzzy and soft, and weird, but I’m not going to lie, it’s COZY!
Character blanket 3 – Purchased by Ann. Fuzzy and soft, and an adequate size, this one is a real keeper -- because it's a SPONGEBOB blanket. :)
Super soft green – I believe Pam purchased this originally for Hannah’s naptime at school, but it wasn’t as long as Hannah likes them. It’s one of the best. SO soft, it’s chenille-esque, with this delightful blue trim. This blanket is often the ‘snuggle toys’ blanket. 
Made by Aunt Sandy – This blanket is our only crocheted item in the house – pretty much. It was made for Hannah when I was pregnant with her. Ryan’s Aunt Sandy made it, and it’s incredibly warm, and will often be found pushed off the bed due to its heat.
And finally the Towel – Yeah, I know, weird, right? They LOVE towels though! They’re always wrapping up in them, using them as capes, or as blankets for their dolls.

I DID have a blankie when I was young. Two in fact. The exact same blanket it two colors, yellow and blue. I remember they were a store bought knit of some kind, with a cheap satiny ribbon of fabric all around the edges, which quickly separated from the blanket itself creating little leg and arm holes, for perfect snuggling on the couch. There was nothing quite as luxurious, however, as sneaking into my parents bed. Their blankets where not good quality or expensive by any means, but they were softer, and heavier, and so much bigger than mine. Was there anything better than cocooning yourself inside of a king sized blanket as a child, like a giant blanket burrito? To this day, in the winter, when my sister is out of town, it is a guilty pleasure of mine to steal her down comforter, lay it on top of mine, and snuggle beneath them both, as if sleeping on a giant cloud...it is so cozy,so soft, so luxurious. That is, until I wake up at 4 am mid heat stroke.
