Warm Red Micro Fleece Blanket

It has suddenly become really cold in the evenings here. After a gorgeous summer and mild Autumn we are starting to feel the cold. I am aware that in some countries there is already a huge fall of snow.  So as I sit here in front of a roaring fire I started to think about what would be warm and cosy at this time. I found this lovely  blanket, throw in red and thought that would be perfect!  A beautiful red throw is really warming and lovely for the winter time. In our living room we bring in a red rug and warm coloured throws and blankets and it really does make a difference to the feel of a room.

I used to love Disney characters as a child. Amongst my favourites were Winnie The Pooh, yes he was probably my all time special one!    The Disney Film of the moment has to be the popular "Frozen".

TV In The Bedroom - Yes Or No?

Growing up we had one TV in the lounge and that was it. Today my husband and I have just one TV in the lounge. We have never had a TV in our bedroom. To me a bedroom is for sleep, relaxation and intimacy. It always takes me a while to wind down at the end of the day. I think TV would quite possibly destroy that for me.  However, I know that many people have TV's in their bedrooms and they like it that way. They find it adds to their sanctuary and time away from responsibility.  Many of their teenage children also have TV in their bedroom.   Also, my Mum, who lives alone now since Dad died, loves having a TV in her bedroom. She says she can go to bed early if she likes and watch her favourite programs and feel safe and warm and all cosy, especially in winter. I also can see how it would be useful if you are more comfortable in bed due to physical conditions or if indeed you spend most of your time in bed due to illness. I understand some beds are now made with an integral TV

There are many colours in it and you could pick out just one or two to pull a whole room together. It is made of 100% cotton face, back and filling and is easy to look after being machine washable. It has a lovely vintage rose bound edging and back and is overstitched with vermicelli quilting for durability.  It is a quilted throw that would fit easily into many homes and many rooms.
