It’s Like a Virtual Shower…!
Shower of Goodness, that is!
Take a look at what showed up in the post office box on Saturday:
The lovely, lovely woman formerly known as The Atomic Mama sent this to my dear Emme Lu. It is gobsmackingly beauteous…all the way from its lucious pink skulls and lace fabric to its downy black (WORD!) fleece on the reverse to its sweet little “E” monogram. It is just what the SBird would have chosen for Emerson. It is NOT just what the SBird would have made for E. since I am no where near as multi-talented as the community I have found myself in the midst of. I knew Atomic Mama had wit, brains, and oodles of integrity (trust me on this one…she is an amazing source of right-on righteousness), and I had heard tell of her crafty creations before, but this blanket is really a wonderful work of art. Thank you, thank you!
As for her wit, here is an example of it:
Also stuffed into the package along with ‘The Singing Bird’ loteria card were two Mexican candy treats: spicy watermelon worms with tamarind sauce to douse them with. GET IT? Worms for the bird. HAHA. I am gearing myself up for being the early bird soon…
Y’all are just too good to me. It’s amazing the community I’ve found online, and I can’t sing your praises often enough (*you know who you are*). Thank you for making this adoption experience even more important and special to me.
That is wicked cool! What a great atomic mama!

I love that blanket! What a wonderful, thoughtful gift!

Oh, yes! I *love* the idea of blanket as art, for that negates the importance of proficiency and skill and turns the piece and all its flaws into an experience whose only reality is in the eye of the beholder.
You, darling, are way too kind. xxx

Lacey-Skull-Blanket… I covet thee. That AM is one cool (and thoughtful) chicka. I love being a part of this group.

Awesome!! How lucky is little Emerson - to be snuggled up all nice and safe and warm in a fuzzy skull blanket? I trust she will soon agree…it doesn’t get any better than that. Happy showers of happiness!
