I am no laundry expert.  I have never claimed to have an advanced degree in Washing.  I never took Fabric Care 101 but my mama taught me how to do laundry.  And ordinarily I have risen to the occasion with the task.  I know not to wash reds with ANYTHING!   I know that darks like cold water.  I know that whites need hot water and a dose of bleach at times.  I have done okay in my lifetime.  I think my mom taught me well.  (Thanks!!!  :-))

That is up until yesterday.   Found a blanket whilst we were working on the basement that looked like a good one to use on the bed here.  It is getting to be fallish and though I am not thrilled with that prospect I need to embrace it. Remember EMBRACE was one of my three words I chose this year as theme words???  Well, it is.  Check it out here.   So I thought it was in good shape–looked almost brand new which was not the case with much of the junk stuff we found in the basement. This had been stored in a big plastic tote so it was in good shape.  Or so I thought.

I am now accepting donations for a blanket so that I can keep warm while my hubby is gone.  Preferably for one that will not fall apart in the washer…….
