THAT is the cutest list I’ve seen!! And it is soooooooo true…
love it!

Shelby, so glad you love it - I can’t wait to be around a child playing like that again, although much of that list was just my imagination. Playing is so freeing. Wrapping up in an afghan afterward is so warming to our hearts. Thank you for commenting.

Love this Thursday Thirteen.
I always wanted a Afghan made for each of my children and given too them.
I have four kids. Never received one for the first three....so when #4 came around, I had someone make a Afghan for him. He loves it and I treasure it.
Great Thursday Thirteen!

Surpina - It is wonderful that you were able to get one for the third child. I never thought to get one for our son, he is now 29, I think I will start knitting one now -- just in case he has grandchildren, thanks for the reminder!

I loved this. My grandmother made an Afghan just for me when I was little, which I still have. I used to use it for some of these exact things & reading this brought back some very fun memories.

Great T13! Oops - I mean, 17.

Rasmenia, that’s really great that my post brought back memories! Our memories are so much a part of our lives and who we become — I am hoping this post will encourage people to share those memories in some way with other children, whether verbally, in writing, in painting, in song - or by knitting or crocheting or even sewing an afghan for a child. For that matter — for an adult. . . .

I’m supposed to be sleeping to save my energy for Austin tomorrow. I can’t see to write this, but thank you, thank you. When I wake up in the morning, before we leave, I will link this on the SAS update page. Hugs to you. You are so creative.

I can never sleep when I am going somewhere that requires energy, I think I want to prove to myself I don’t need no stinking sleep — but time and again I prove the opposite. I am glad you liked my creativity today! - I wish my creativity would magically create one knitted or crocheted square each from well over 6000 people! Feel free y’all to take a major hint from that last remark! It will take over 6000 people to make that “magic” happen!
