Over the years I've worn lots of different hats.
Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker .....
I now have a new hat to add to my collection.
I really do adore my new hat.
An appropriate nick-name might be
♥ The Hero ♥
I get to wear my new hat almost every week.
I fix zippers, glue pearls on flower clips, sharpen pencils, untangle necklaces and "find things".
I always feel so appreciated when I wear "The Fixer" hat!
One of my latest "missions" was particularly challenging.
Ella adopted Marci's blanket from her childhood.
A sweet little lady in our ward in San Diego made it for my baby shower.
She, by the way, was the only one that thought I was having a girl!
It was a cute white blanket with tiny pink rosebuds.
(That was VERY popular at the time.)
It was soft and plush, as she used quilted fabric as the top layer and then tied it with white yarn. I loved it and when Marci arrived, so did she!
Needless to say after "lots" of years with the original owner and now 7 years with the new owner, Ella ...
the pretty, plush blanket was no longer pretty and plush.
is there something you can do to salvage this?
Once again on with my New Hat ! ♥ !
The top fabric is very worn and the little flowers have completely faded away. The fabric is so very soft though and Ella wanted to change the blanket as little as possible.
The back of the blanket showed the most wear and tear.
I decided to replace it with a batting that is 50% organic cotton and 50% bamboo.
Ella approved the job!
Faces like this are why I love my new hat!
