Papparaiselle uusi peitto / New blanket for the old man

Meidan ukkeli on vanha. Ainahan tuo on lammosta ja lampoisena tykannyt olla mutta nyt olen huomannut etta useammin ja useammin loydan miekkosen jonkun vaatekasan alta tai tyynypinon alta tai makailemassa siina pienimmassakin auringonlaikassa. Onhan hanella peitto, mutta se on reikia taynna (herralla oli kausi jolloin jyysti peittoonsa reikia). Oli aika siis uuden peiton.

Our little man is old. He's always liked warmth and being warm but now I've noticed more often that I find him under a pile of clothes left by the girls or under pillows or lying in the only tiny bit of sun light on the floor or sofa. He does have his own blanket but it was full of holes (mr. had a period when he liked to chew holes in his blanket). It was clearly a time for a new blanket.

Halusin peitosta lampoisen ja paksun. Ostinkin siis kaksi erillista fleece palaa tehdakseni kaksikerroksisen fleece peiton ja reilun kokoisia paloja niin etta peiton voi viela tarvittaessa taitella paksummaksi. Saumurilla reunat ympari (laiskana en edes vaihtanut lankoja valkoisesksi vaikka olisin voinutkin) ja valmista tuli. 

I wanted the blanket to be warm and thick. So I bought two pieces of fleece to make double layer blanket and I got relatively big pieces so that we could fold the blanket to make it even thicker and warmer. I just went around the blanket with a serger to join the pieces (I was lazy and didn't even change the thread to white even though it would have looked better) and it was ready.

Ette usko kuinka nopeasti paapparainen sukelsi peiton uumeniin kun annoin hanelle luvan. Vahan pedin tekoa ja asettelua koiramaiseen tyyliin ja nain mina hanet loysin viisi minuuttia myohemmin. Rakasta mun pienta ukkoa! ♥

You cannot believe how quickly my little old man dived under the blanket when I gave him the permission. A little arranging doggy style and this is how I found him five minutes later. Love him to bits! ♥
