As I’ve mentioned, Christmas gifts are a controversial topic around here, but so far, I’ve stayed out of trouble.

Maria liked her “Bad Ass Babes” pouch, but she loved this comfort blanket I got her, my second gift. I’ve discovered a neat website run by artists, they have some original things, including the Frida Kahlo leggings I got Maria last winter.

I hung it up on the line this morning to take this photo, it lives on the sofa in the living room.

Some things, even she can’t get ticked off about. I found this blanket online, and it sort of screamed to go to Maria, it’s perfect for the evenings, when we usually sit around by the fire and read.

This blanket is actually not unlike something Make would make herself. And it’s true, she be but little, but she is fierce. Thanks to Bill Shakespeare for the idea. I’m not supposed to give her any presents at Christmas – she is fierce – but I can’t really help it. I have a few more to go, nothing big stuff I have been amassing secretly for awhile.

If I give her all the presents before Christmas, it seems to work out okay. I’ll save one for Xmas morning, I have to say, I really love this blanket, and I could see that she does too. She wrapped it around her legs last night.
