Project big bad baby blanket has been completed and is currently in my new washer being gently rocked back and forth on a delicate cycle. Unless the washer eats it or something catastrophic happens, it will be getting mailed out tomorrow.
It's been in my hands a long time, has this blanket. It's been a lot of places with me....to St Louis on the Metro, to my doctor's office, to the pool and the park and in the truck. It's got too many stitches in it for me to count, but I'm sure it's in the hundreds of thousands.
I'm scared to send it now. I'm afraid that it won't be good enough or that Debbie and Brad won't like it. I'm second guessing myself, I know - everyone who's seen it thus far has said that it's pretty darn groovy - but much as a dress designer is nervous about revealing their new collection of clothing, so I am nervous about sending this blanket off. I won't be satisfied until I hear back from it's recipents that they like it - and then I'll probably question them and make sure they really, really like it. I dunno why it's so important to me, it just is.
Farewell, big bad baby blanket. I made you for Ashley Grace; now that she's here you can go and complete your purpose.
Go, and give that little girl warmth and security - go, and wrap her up in love.
