Can't get enough of that face...

What a poser! I just can't resist it!

I'm in bed, test driving some new flannel sheets. I am obsessed with soft fabrics, always have been - sheets, pillow cases, bath towels, kitchen towels... I used to take my own sheets and pillows with me when I went to visit friends or relatives when staying overnight (really! I did!). I've transferred it to both of my kids as well. When they were younger they were known to say things like "Mom, I can't sleep on those sheets - they're too scratchy" when visiting homes that did not cater to 'linen sensualists'. We also had a black hooded rat named Flannel (fla nel' - she was French) who loved the little flannel sleeping bags I made for her. Yes, rats make wonderful pets!

Anyway, these new sheets are heavenly. I have a couple other sets, but these are the best I've ever felt. The color couldn't be more perfectly named - they look exactly like real chamois and are just as soft. They also look like they were custom colored for my quilt.... To truly appreciate them you must have freshly shorn legs (the gals anyway). Might want to give 'em a whirl!
