Teach - white tags are old style, brown tags are new style.

Thanks, Bonza -- especially for taking the time to post in both places where I left a message. I thought it was the other way around, but I'm looking at hoodie on ebay (Shhhhh....don't tell DH!), and wanted to make sure I get the right one!

Teach ~ also, keep in mind that some of the white tags are new, it really is the old white tags that are 3/4" rather than the white that are 1/2" or brown that are 1/2". :-)

Joely!

This morning I had been up briefly and crawled back under my white fluffy CC blanket, with the down comforter over that and over than my bordeaux throw.. oh and I was reading so I had my slate robe thrown over my shoulders.

Anyway Critter was on the bed and came over and curled up on top of me (and the bordeaux throw) and went to sleep.

I was reading the paper and absentmindedly stroking various CC items, thinking the white is so fluffy/soft.. but comparing the bordeaux and I thought wow this feels wonderfully silky soft!

LOL.. that was Critter's tail! Nature wins over Manufacture :-)

Did you guys see Ellen yesterday? She showed the house in Ohio decorated with Christmas lights that "dances" to the synchronized music (Wizards of Winter)!

Sea- What's this? Critter on CC? Could it be? It sure sounds like you could be on the cover of a CC catalog with all that coziness surrounding you.

Since- Unfortunately I missed it. The Christmas lights sound cool.

Bonza- Quick, what's TMI? How about SFO? Just testing to make sure you had enough coffee this morning.

Eeyore- pictures please, as well as a full CC sleeping report.

Julip- I can't wait until I finally get some quality time with my CC blankets. I can't believe I've had to wait this long.

Joely- Good morning. Are you sick of working nonstop yet?

Good Afternoon and Happy Weekend, everyone!

FYI - the story about the crazy lit-up musical Christmas House is on various newswires. I think if you look up "Christmas House" at www.snopes.com (one place I found it linked to, but it is all real, not a trick) you can read all about the engineer who created it. It only took him 3 hours to wire it and set up the music via his computer! Amazing! Also a link to the video that Eeyore had posted originally (remember, probably not a good idea for dial-up)

I also saw the story on a news channel recently, and his garage was filled with wires and connections for it lol. I think they said it looked like Santa's Workshop.

Jinksy - hoping the day till you get to unwrap those CC blankets gets here quickly! :o)

Our news reported that the man who has this amazing display has been asked to turn off the lights for awhile -- guess a car accident in front of his house real tangled traffic up for a while. Hope he's able to let them shine a bit more when it gets closer to the holidays.

Of course, I've got the video saved, so I'll just keep enjoying it anyway! LOL

My son has been talking about the Christmas light house for a week and he was all enthused because he's so into music and setting things to music and was wondering how it was done, etc. I just reported to him what you all said here and HE SAID...he has a link to it on his AIM profile. LOL I've been trying to snag free tickets to the Transiberian Orhestra concert that's here every year (from the same station I won the gift cert. from) since I know my son would love to see them! He said it's their music on the house??

LOL Sea on CC kitty tail!!!

Thanks for the info on the sizing everyone who noted it! I thought I was going a bit coo coo when I put the blue robe on and it wasn't huge on me compared to the cocoa one that I got for my DD! I need the room around the hips to keep my legs warm and it IS bigger there - where it counts and is a bit longer. My son was just saying he didn't know what to get anyone for Christmas so I asked him if he wanted to buy another ROBE for me - there's a midnight black one on ebay.... and he laughed at me. Hey - it's only $90+ and a real steal! LOL

When you're talking about the color of tags, are you talking about paper ones that are attached for display or something inside the robes/hoodies? Since I've only purchased things off of ebay, I don't know these things! I think I've snagged the only item that doesn't have a line through the inside tag (so you can't return it) on my slate hoodie. Good thing it's immediate family, cuz they will understand these things!

I really wish DH wasn't saying the robe material "felt funny" because I've bought him a new bed in a bag set because it was only a bit more than just buying a set of queen sheets AND he's always complained that he didn't like the dark color I bought (which I think is really cool btw!) and I noticed he's been putting an old crappy blanket on top and he could use a nice blanket. Maybe I could get one and wash it a few times and then he won't think it's "rubbery?" LOL We women just have to THINK THINK THINK.. how to do these things! The thing is, we have an electric blanket, but it only works on MY SIDE so he's kind of stuck. By the time we put it on the bed it was a bit too late to return when we found his control/side didn't work at all.

I also am really deluding myself here because he doesn't know that I know because he told DD who told me and he didn't (are you getting that all?!!) that his work is cutting everyone down to a 4-day work week after the first of the year and he's going to be losing almost a whole day's pay (they'll get unemployment which is a fraction of what they usually earn) for the 5th day, but we've always gotten by on all the over-time he works, so I'm trying not to panic on the things I've already purchased. GAH! The job market sucks here, too. There's no way you can replace a job you've worked for almost 30 yrs and come anywhere close to what you were earning. You'd make less than having a one day off on unemployment. Also, it you pick up a part-time job, you forfeit what the one day of unemployment. I really really need my health to get better so I can work SOMETHING! Anyway, I'm going to go back to not thinking about things anymore because it's easier than worrying since he hasn't even told me about it yet!

So..... anyway - now I'm thinking I should get the other DD a hoodie to make it even w/her sister who is getting both. (She's the one who only wanted a hoodie until she felt the robe!) I'm watching for a deal for her, but I'm not sure on a size for her. She's petite but likes things that go over other things - like the robe or a hoodie to fit really large for comfort. That's why I got her the 2 in the robe when a 1 would have been big enough. So many things to think about!!!

Anyway, I should go do "something!" Anyone want to guess how long it is before I actually do?!!! LOL

Critter has only ventured onto CC when CC is on top of MOM!

Watching.. the label is a cloth lable in the back of the neck for robes and hoodies..

The label reads Barefoot Dreams and then there's a secondary label that hangs off of that one that has the size. :-) It's stiched in horizontal.

Needle~ go to http://www.dreamalittledreamwithme.com/ That is Joely's website. Also you can go to the "marketplace" and there is more info there...http://tinyurl.com/c88hx . We all discuss sizing etc in this last thread.

Joely, how does the sizing on the adult V-neck sweaters compare to the hoodies, especially the sleeve length? If it varies by color, I'm interested in the violet ice. I got a nice bonus from one of my clients, and I want to spoil myself with a throw and maybe a sweater!

Hi Merrysea ~ the sizing is true to size for the vnecks. I think everyone has decided that the v is a pretty deep to wear without a tank top or shirt underneath, but I'm not sure. I haven't gotten any feedback about the sleeves being to short or too long.

Yep, she sure will Needle. One of my DD's tried on the robe I got for her sis and well, of course, then she also wanted one, not just the hoodie like she told me. Now to hunt for a hoodie for her sis to make it even. Arggh! The fun of making things even at Christmas! LOL

OK, sorry fir the laziness to write.

Jinksy - no blanket pics for about a month. I want to repaint my bedroom first, and get a new duvet cover. Right now, my bedroom is a clash-fest.

So my only beef with having a CC blanket? The fact that I need two. One for UNDER me, and one for OVER me. I love the feeling of the warm fuzzy blanket, but then the cold sheets are under me anyways.

I really like the down duvet over the blanket though...as it provides weight.

So last night, I took my twin blanket from my couch, and put it over my sheet, and laid on top of it, and then had the big CC blanket over me, and then the duvet. Wonderful.

I seriously love the blankets. Although I love them all around me. I know a "throw" would never have been big enough. I'm happy withe the twin for the couch for sure.
