A few years back a friend had a grand child who was devastated because her favorite lovey had gotten left behind somewhere. Her favorite part of that stuffed animal was the tag, of course. So her grandmother (my friend) sat her in her sewing room and had her feel all her ribbons until she found one that matched the feel of the lost lovey's tag. Then she took a new toy and lovingly remade it until this best-feeling tab was attached. At the time I thought, well, that's nice, but REALLY? Isn't it a bit ridiculous, too? Well... fast forward a few years. BG - before grandkids - I probably would have thought, "I've already MADE you a napping set - when your mother could have bought a pillowcase and called it good - and you want that AWFUL flame stuff?????" Now, it's more like: Well, OF COURSE, Precious Boy, if you want fire, then fire you'll have. We're making memories after all! :)
