Ava's blanket

Ava's old blanket is small and threadbare, but it was all she ever wanted to sleep with, even though she had to curl up in a ball for it to cover her.  She never wanted any other blanket to touch her.  Kelly asked if I could somehow enlarge her old blanket but I thought maybe if Ava picked out her own fabric for a new blanket, maybe she would use it.  So today we went to Joann's and she quickly picked out Hello Kitty fleece and I hemmed it as soon as we got home.  She was so excited.  She tried to help me trim the edge and then sat there and watched me sew, asking over and over again if I was done yet.  She loves it, she introduced it to her old blanket so they could be friends and slept with both of them.
