Oh, I also made the pillow you see there... same concept, except before I tied off the last side I stuffed it, which you can also get at a fabric or craft store.

This is the Christmas blanket I made for my grandma one year. I don't sew, so no sewing involved at all. It's a double fleece tied throw. I went to JoAnne's Fabrics, picked out a Christmas pattern in fleece I wanted and then a solid fleece for the back that would compliment it since it will also be part of the fringe. Cut off the finished sides of the fleece on each side. Put the two pieces of fleece together so everything gets cut the same. Then, depending upon how long you want the fringe (or if it's a print rather than a pattern determine how long by the print) cut out either 3" or 4" squares from each corner. This will give you a strip on each side to cut fringe. Then, cut slits on each side 1" apart and either 3" or 4" long (depending upon how big you made your squares. Do this on all 4 sides. Then it's as simple as tying a double knot in each of the fringe pieces front to back so you're essentially tying the two pieces of fleece together all the way around the blanket. No sewing, no muss, no fuss. It's simple, soft, warm, and really turns out quite nice.

J.K. Rowling's: The deathly hallows
I'm doing a re-read of this at the moment... there are always so many subtleties you pick up upon rereading Rowlings books.

Hmm... the link opens the same thing... well... he specifically asked me to buy him a venus flytrap. Apparently there are 3 different kinds, so I got him the assortment of them along with special worms you feed them. Exciting stuff!

and I will pick up a book for him as well, because all my nieces and nephews get a book with their other gifts for every birthday and Christmas.
