Couples Snuggie: A Valentine's Day Snuggie For Two
Holidays
Do you ever wonder who invented holidays? Like, who ever thought of “Grandparent’s Dayâ€, or “Secretary’s Day†or “Valentine’s Dayâ€? Do you think it was a guy named “Hallmarkâ€? What better way to feed your family for generations than to make up holidays where, if you don’t remember the honoree, you’re no better than mud for weeks thereafter. On second thought, I think it was a lady named “Hallmarkâ€, because I bet the women way outnumber the men as card recipients!
Valentine’s Day is a biggie. Either cards, candy, flowers or any combination thereof is the favorite gift that men give. Of course, we have to remember to do it first. Around here, men generally put everything off ‘til the last minute. So it’s always getting up early on the holiday morning and running to the local food mart for a marked down something or other. The women don’t like it much, but after a couple of generations of this sort of gift giving and receiving, they’ve come to expect it. Life in Alabama!
The Couples Snuggie
This year though, I’ve got it socked! I have ordered a Couples Snuggie for Valentine’s Day. After I saw the As Seen On TV commercial, I went to my computer and parted with the $19.95 (free shipping) for the Couples Snuggie. Of course, we’ve all seen the Snuggie...from the Original Snuggie, to the Designer Snuggie, to the Collegiate Snuggie to the Snuggie for dogs. Just when we thought they were done, here comes The Couples Snuggie.
For years in the evening, the little lady and I have been curling up on the couch with a ratty old quilt made by some relative in the Civil War era, and spend most of the night trying not to pull it off of each other. Evenings on the sofa become chilly in more ways than one! The couples Snuggie should remedy this situation. It’s a thick fleece blanket measuring 81†by 71†with dual opening for heads and arms. So, once we’ve donned this Snuggie for pairs, we can sit together on the sofa under a fleece blanket with our arms free to do whatever. No more fighting to stay covered or fear of dislodging the blanket when we shift positions or reach for something. Under a Couples Snuggie with my hands free, sounds like a winner with the potential for some interesting evenings! It should make a great Valentine’s gift for my honey and me!

For the quilters? I am lookin for a fabric and I'm not sure it's even availible - Please help!?
I am taking a civil war love letter quilting class with my mom. Some (like 3 or 4) blocks have a profile-maybe face would be more correct?- of President Lincoln. The lady at the quilt shop hosting the class said she had a couple she could share with the class but is there a place I can find more? I know the other ladies in the class would appreciate having enough of the little Lincolns to put in their quilts as well; and I am considering doing another of the civil war quilts after we finish this one. Thanks for any info you can provide!!
You can post a request at http://missingfabrics.com
You can send them a photo or scan of the fabric and a description, they'll list it on the website. If the fabric is recent, you'll probably get a response from a quilt shop that has it. If not, you may get a response from a quilter who has some in her stash. The service doesn't cost anything.
I've used it successfully to find fabric when I ran short for a quilt.

Civil War Battlefields $8.76 Rated: NASynopsis: 2 DVD COLLECTIBLE TIN! The American Civil War (1861-1865) is one of the greatest conflicts in the history of mankind, and the bloodiest and saddest war in American history. What began as a bitter dispute over Union and States' Rights, ended as a struggle over the meaning of freedom in America. It saw the end of slavery. It inspired men who had never strayed far from their own front doors to become soldiers in great armies, and to fight in epic battles hundreds of miles from home. It was the first modern war and the costliest, yielding at least 600,000 casualties and unprecedented domestic suffering, both spiritually and physically. As a defining moment in United States history, our Civil War has no equal, which is why it remains such a fascinating subject even today. The dramatic story of the Civil War unfolds as we relive the battles that helped save the nation, including Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. |
