Just A Little Something

At Christmas Emmy was in charge of an activity for some of the classes at Hyde Park Elementary School.  Instead of playing games at the school party, several of the classes made blankets for a homeless shelter.  The kids were in charge of cutting the 4 inch corner pieces, cutting the strips and then also tying the strips together in knots.  They had a ball doing it.  I asked Emmy to save all the four inch squares so we could make some baby blankets for Wammyville.  There was one little girl that asked Emmy if she could have one of the blankets.  Sadly Emmy explained to her that they were making blankets for other people but she said that she would she if she could make her a blanket.  Emmy asked her what color.  The little girls smiled really big and said pink.  So today I sewed as many pink 4 inch squares I could find in the scrap bag she brought from school.  I washed it and put it in the drier with some tennis balls to make it even softer.  

I think she is going to like it.
