Making a Blanket Statement
Fun June 23rd, 2010And that statement is: We have too many blankets.
Ay-carumba! They’re just the ones in the living room. There are at least eight more upstairs.
Yet each one of these is here for a reason.
From top to bottom:
#1 traveled downstairs one day and got stuck there. I believe it got washed and never made it back up. You know, because it’s so hard to carry a blanket up fourteen steps. My back!
#2 is for Shadow, our cat who likes to sleep on the red chair’s ottoman.
#3 is for Lucky, our cat who likes to sleep on the red chair.
#4 is for me to cover my legs at the kitchen table where an A/C vent blows arctic air right on me.
#5 also came down for a washing and never made it back upstairs. Oh, so heavy!
#6 is for covering a chair you can’t see. Another spot where Lucky likes to nap.
#7 is for me to nap with. Used in conjunction with #4 because one blanket is not enough for napping, so says me, the Napping Queen.
Can anyone beat this? Extra points of you own a Snuggie. Subtract points if you have one for your dog.
Stumble it!

Nope, you got me. No blankets downstairs at all. We used to have one on whatever was passing for a sofa at the time for the cats but I could never get the cat hair off so now there is a big pillow for them. I used to keep a crocheted blanket for myself downstairs but only in the winter, now I don’t even do that. Matter of fact last winter we didn’t even have a blanket on the bed. The quilted bedspread was way warm enough. So – no blankets hanging around my house. Anywhere. For anyone.

Yikes. That’s a LOT of cuddly warmth….’specially for the felines that already have so much fur. (Not you, doll.)
That said, I’m only seeing 2 blankets in my living room. You said just the LR, right?? For the exact same reasons you’ve so eloquently mentioned here.
So I don’t have to bring up the others scattered haphazardly throughout the rest of the house, right??
Good.

We love blankets here, too! It seems strange for south FL, but it gets chilly with the A/C running. We have a navy blue and green blanket in the family room, along with a cat sleeping bag. There is a blanket on the end of the guest room bed and also in the master bedroom for napping. Nothing better than a fuzzy blankie!

I would sooner DIE than own a Snuggie. I do have an abundance of afghans. My favorite (first knitting project) just for watching TV. I knit it on circular needles and just didn’t know when (or how) to stop…it is six feet long. Then there is a fleece blanket-type for napping on the love seat. Some are draped over the back of the sofa and arm chair. Some are for when I don’t feel well. The dogs would just love to have one, but NO, they are all mine. I have no stairs so I have no excuse for the afghans that never left the laundry room!!!

Speaking as someone who is rarely warm – YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY BLANKETS.
I am only happy when the temperature hits 100 AND I am canning.

We didn’t put air conditioning in the new house because I find it very abrasive on my skin.
We have two snuggies and I have been known to wear them both.

One blanket in basement for tv viewing (a Snuggie). One blanket in family room for tv viewing. One blanket in living room for internet viewing. One blanket for cat for her viewing pleasure. Now go get me some snacks!
June 23rd, 2010 at 7:56 am
Can’t beat it, but I can match it.
A blanket on the couch for me.
A blanket on the couch for my husband. (Sometimes we share, but he’s a blanket hog.)
An extra blanket on the back of the couch.
A blanket (and a pillow!) on top of the cat house.
A blanket (and a pillow here as well [I really torture my cats, I should be turned into the ASPCA]) on the stool that we use as a foot rest because the cat likes it.
No Snuggies. I’m anti-Snuggie. I’ve worked out the blanket/arm situation for this long, I don’t need a backwards robe.

Well, we might not have 8 blankets just downstairs, but we have many blankets scattered around the house. We have
1. A blanket on the couch for Sissy
2. A blanket for my mom when she’s on her laptop
3. A blanket in the basement on a chair
4. A SLANKET.
5. My bed has three blankets on it; nice, soft, fluffly blankets.
But I think you win the blanket war.
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:42 am
Oh, yes I think I have you beat. I live in an apartment that’s about as big as your kitchen, with my children and between us we manage to have blankets everywhere. They get dragged out into the living room and never make it back to the bedroom, ’cause those 5 steps would be too much? I have at least 3 on the couch at all times and there’s usually a few more scattered about on the floor or draped over a chair and they have countless numbers on their beds, as do I, then there’s the closet. Oy. I do have a snuggie but in my defense, it was gifted to me and I quickly hid it in the closet.
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:52 am
Since it’s summer I don’t have any blankets in the living room except for the one my dogs use. It’s actually a twin size comforter; they either lay on top like it’s a pillow or they burrow between the layers. In the winter I usually have at least two different fleece throw blankets. I love those things. Sooo soft!

I have a #4 exactly like that. And I have a miniature version of that rug. We have 4 blankets in our living room. One for the dogs, one for each of us to cover up with, and one that just hasn’t made it back to where it goes. What is it about sheets and blankets that make them so hard to put up after laundering? I don’t get it.

We have four blankets in the living room. Two on the loveseat, where I sit, to protect me from both the arctic blast of the AC and the heat from my laptop. Two on the couch, since the husband falls asleep there pretty much every night. I don’t own a Snuggie, but I do have this thing called a sofa sack which is basically a combination of a Snuggie and footie pajamas. I haven’t needed the sofa sack since we got our dogs–those little furry bodies generate lots of heat.

We are not so much a blanket family as an afghan family. There are three afghans in the living room, three in our room (2 for the dog) and at least six more waiting to be washed! This is what happens when you have two moms and a grandmother who all used to knit and crochet and you inherited every one of the afghans!

Hmmmm, we don’t have a downstairs, but in the front room we have two fleece blankets and a scratchy purple blanket one of my sisters gave Ma years ago. In the living room we have three afghans I crocheted. One is a nice light one suitable for deflecting AC, and the other two are sort of patchwork, including a ripple that went haywire because I didn’t know how to keep it straight. LOL
There are 5 fleece blankets in the bedrooms. I use one as an arm rest, there are two in the spare room (plus a regular blanket on each bed), and there are two on my parents’ bed, plus their electric blanket and a heavy spread. And I think we have at least one of my grandmother’s afghans in the cedar chest.
And we have three fleece throws in the car. They come in handy for covering people in the winter and car seats in the summer.

I don’t think I’ve ever even attempted to count the blankets that all seem to vanish under the bed when my back is turned. I’m sure I could find a purpose for all of them if I could catch them before they make their escape.

Grace — Ah, but you at least have a kitty pillow! Boy, you travel light. I think I like knowing I have a million blankets if I need them.
kathryn — I know! They’re already wearing a blanket. What gives? No, you need not confess to the mess of blankets you have elsewhere. By the looks of most comments here, I’m guessing you have at least six.
Daisy the Curly Cat — We have blankets year-round, too! I know you have a wonderful new blankie that your mommeh gave you. I remember how blissed out you looked when you first tried it out. Fuzzy!
Lynski — Me too, but millions of people can’t be wrong. I require a TV-watching blankie too. Cover me up! Poor pooch. I think you should give him a hand-me-down so he can slobber all over it.
Karen — Ding ding ding! So can you find your furniture under all that?
Barb — I never had a quilt [insert sad face here]. Someone should make me one.
Pricilla — I’m surprised I like to be blanketed, since I’m usually hot all the time. It’s something about being all covered up and cozy. You wore two snuggies at once? Isn’t there a law against that?
annofthejunkdrawerblogfamily — I knew you’d have plenty, and I knew they’d be organized by room and type.
Michelle — Yeah, half our blankets are for the cats’ benefit. Do they even care? Huh? Huh? Do they? I’m anti-Snuggie as well. Though how much would you bet I’d fall in love with one if I had one?
Regan — Ha! Your mom beat you to it! Wait. Is a slanket the same as a snuggie? I’m confused.
April — Oh, yes. Five steps might as well be a mile. I understand completely. The thing that kills me is I can barely remember buying all these blankets. Where are they coming from? They’re materializing by themselves, I swear! I forgive you for your Snuggie.
Surfie — My cats burrow too! Weirdos. Fleece is awesome. So thin, but so warm!
Nicole — I love our rug. But for about 8 years we couldn’t put it out because one of our cats (now deceased) clawed it up. We are happy to be able to use it now (but miss our Calvin). Sheets and blankets are annoying. Plain and simple.
Ron — Dude. We need to hold a blanket shower for you. And then we get to throw them all on top of you until you realize what you’re missing. Just sayin’.
absepa — Holy crap, a soft sack? Can you get lost in there? Do you suffocate? I love when my cat Lucky sleeps on my feet. It’s a bonus if he purrs. Awesome.
Beamer — I am indeed an expert at napping. You need the perfect blanket thickness, quantity and distribution. Also helps if you have a cat. Need to have the TV volume just right – enough to hear, but quiet enough to sleep through. Phones turned off. It’s the only way.
Anna — I would love to be the recipient of gifted afghans. If you have an extras….
Ladybuggz — Holy crap, woman. I think you have everyone beat here. You are prepared and then some. Tip my hat to you!
ann — So I guess you find yourself running around folding up blankets when company comes, right? I do have an armoire in a room downstairs that I can temporarily stow them in, but then later I have an avalanche to cope with.
Beth Zimmerman — I love that too. But I hate that it takes 10-20 min to get a good bake going. The worst? Having to leave my little heated cocoon to go to the bathroom. BRRRR!
Medical Assistant — A little like the missing sock phenomenon, huh? Wrangle ‘em up!
June 23rd, 2010 at 5:48 pm
Every blanket that I get, becomes a cat blanket, so I’ve given up! I’ve lost count of the fleece blankets our cats own. They have a host of them in their room, and one on every seat in out living room.
I do have one of those snuggie things don’t I? I have no idea what happened to it though – it’ll probably get used for the cats

Other than that, I have about 8 other blankets. The ‘green’ one is my favorite although it is not the thickest, so I will trade it in for the ‘red’ one. The others are ‘just in case’ blankies. Just in case the green or red one is being washed or used by someone else.
As you can see, I take the blankie very seriously. lol

No surplus of blankets over here, even though we keep buying more for the living room. We have to make the first floor resemble the North Pole so the bedrooms on the second floor are comfortable for sleeping. (Note to self: Next time buy a ranch house.)
So we have tons of blankets that are somewhere in a black hole in this house. A constant refrain of mine is: Where are all the blankets?
The other refrain is: Where did I leave my book? Apparently I walk and read while tending to my kid’s needs. If I can’t perform the chore one-handed (like making chocolate milk) I have to set the book down. And I usually set it down somewhere en route.
One would think the book would be hanging out with the blankets and yet that’s never the case.

Let’s see. I used to have a double bed so I had blankets for that. Then I found a man, got a king size bed and now have blankets for that. I had babies who had cribs so I had blankets for those. I kept the same blankets to use for each baby, but of course, every time I had a baby, I got more blankets from friends/family. They eventually grew out of cribs and into single beds, so I have blankets for those too. My mother-in-law is always freezing, so she gave ME (?) fleece throw blankets 3 years in a row for xmas or my b-day. And when my last son was born. We are 5 people and 1 cat in my house and could easily wrap each limb/tail/body in its own blanket – without removing the ones off our beds!

A few years ago, the grocery stores, Kmart, WalMart and every convenience store in existence started selling “throw blankets”, which Mrs. Rambler fell in love with. Every cat in the house got its own blanket. And we have more than three cats. At least the ones you’ve shown look like real blankets.

No, I don’t have too much of ANYTHING because my husband is some sort of anti-clutter freak who gets bonkers if we have more than say 1 fork for each of us and goes on these wild pruning sprees.
You’d think he grew up in a house like they show on Hoarders with the piles and the stacks and the heaps to be so…so…so dang minimalist but no, his mother is the exact same way.
So, I envy you your plethora of blankets my friend, for I am here living under some sort of pinko one blanket per person communosity.
(in the interests of accuracy, we do own more than 1 blanket per person but mister showes all the extras in the attic. Who wants to use a tainted attic blanket? So then I buy more which he shoves in the attic as soon as I leave the house)

I might be able to at least be your runner up. Just today I took five down quilts to the laundromat because my machine is just not big enough to handle them. I had to take them to be washed because the dog peed on them. They happened to be on my son’s bed which is in the basement and still arctic even though we are in the dog days of summer. I have another three blankets upstairs in the living room because I like to spend my time with Matt Lauer and my coffee under a blanket in the morning. That blanket then gets used by the dog and the cat. So, I have extras because the dog and the cat smell and when it is time for a nap or when I sleep on the couch, I don’t want to smell dog and cat butt on my blankets. We have a Snuggie though it is really nothing more than an animal hair magnet so no one uses it. BTW, folding a Snuggie is harder than folding a fitted sheet.
And, I love that Tracy used the word ‘pinko’ in her comment. We don’t use that word enough anymore.

Babs Beetle — Of course, an hour after I took a picture of my pile ‘o blankets, one of the cats perched herself on top of it. So there is still sits, two days later. A pile of blankies in my living room. What we won’t do for our cats.
annofthejunkdrawerblogfamily — I think I saw somewhere that the guy who invented the slanket didn’t market it on TV via infomercials. The snuggie people did and the rest is robe blanket history.
Sparkle — Right. As if cable knit sweaters weren’t humiliating enough. Although I do love to see a chiuaua in a nice turtleneck. Cracks me up.
C Lanctot — And I must snuggle right up to my neck. When I nap, it’s just a big long blanket with a head sticking out.
Heather Villa — Oh, poor Snuggie. Relegated to the dirty outdoors. Blankies are serious business! Clearly were not the only blanket hoarders here.
Lisa at Boondock Ramblings — So you’re saying you “snuggie as a family?” That’s right. I just used snuggie as a verb.
cardiogirl — Oh, man. I loved our old ranch house. One-floor living is awesome! I think you need to attach a GPS device to all your blankies and books. I admire you for reading and walking. That wouldn’t end well for me. Or a cat, I’m sure.
Lynne — But aren’t quilts too firm to snuggle with? I’m a tucker. I need to tuck my blankies under me. I’m not sure quilts would work well for napping.
megscole64 — But it’s so tempting! Especially the small and light fleece once you find in regular stores (even have ‘em in my grocery store!) They’re like chips. You can’t have just one.
earthtoholly — OMG! How do you find your furniture! And how many of those are Lucy’s?
Nicky — Your comment cracked me up. It was the “limb/tail/body” that got me. Thanks for the laugh.
Wendy — It’s something about being covered, cold or not, isn’t it? Congratulations for getting them in a linen closet. That sounds like too much work for me.
Sue — See? The blankets can never leave. It’s the law. That’s why we’re dying under an avalanche of blankets.
meleah rebeccah — We are two peas in a blankie pod.
Tarheel Rambler — I get that. They are hard to resist. Especially those light fleece ones they make available in my grocery store. Rolled up like a sausage. So cute. I want! I’m glad you understand Mrs. Rambler’s obsession. Well, maybe understand isn’t the right word. How ’bout “tolerate?”
Elowen — Oooo, I think I would like the red faux fur one! Yours sound fancy. Mine are ugly for the most part. I gotta get more stylish with my blankies, me thinks.
Tracy — I’m sorry about your husband. Minimalist makes cleaning and uncluttering easier, but it’s no fun! I’m sorry you’re lacking in the fork and blanket department. See, what your hubs doesn’t know is that the very act of denying you enough accessible blankets might trigger a hoarding behavior and then where will you be? He needs to chill and let you have ‘em.
Jen — Oh, pet butt blankets are the worst! I’ve on more than one occasion settled down for my naps only to find that the blanket smells like butt. But the good news is I have at least five other non-butt smelling ones to choose from until I wash them. No, we do not use the word “pinko” enough. Nor “kerfuffle.”

Wow, everyone has numerous blankets and blanket stories. I have a few here and there. A fleece in the LR and den, a woven one on the back of the love seat, a cat-sized plush blanket on a chair, and old bedspread on the futon. In addition there are a half dozen or so more woven throws (Mom got a bunch when they were about $5), several handmade quilts, at least 4 knitted or crocheted afghans, 2 each winter and summer weight bed blankets. Admittedly all of these are not out and about, and who knows what else is packed away somewhere. Anyway, I don’t think your blanket count has reached critical mass…yet.

I do have a bit of an unfair advantage in the fleece blanket department, since I work in a fabric store. It’s just so easy to buy another piece when it’s on sale.
And I forgot to mention the bedspreads on the two beds in the spare room, and my (very soft and tuckable but dying) quilt, and my two beloved childhood blankets, and the coordinating pair off my first twin bed, and there’s probably a blanket somewhere under all the junk on my brother’s old bed, and, and, and, . . . . . . . .

I am seriously considering buying one of those big plastic bags that you can hook up to your vacuum and shrink down. That way I could take the blankets out of the pantry and shove them under the bed.
But really, pillows are just as bad. There are four on the bed plus several stored in the closet, one in every lounge or recliner and at least half a dozen on out couch. One of those on the couch says “Merry Christmas” on it–and this is July!

Hi Kathy
I think I have you beat but I have an unfair advantage.
My Adult daughter her husband and my two grandchildren came back to live with us three years ago.
We have two, or more of everything including blankets
all the best
