Hudson Bay Blanket

Fairly New Hudson Bay Point Blanket.
It`s been piddling down rain for days..... the rain should be snow, it`s Canada after all. I prefer rain for driving, but find snow much cheerier.  I have a bit of an issue with animals on furniture, however my scoldings to Hannah Cat seem to fall on deaf ears.  I often tug a white blanket over the seat for easy laundering, however she has new perch....on the back with a lovely view of the bird bell hanging on the front tree. 

To cozy up the living room on this gloomy November day, I brought down a Hudson Bay Blanket that was stashed away. It`s a double and I no longer have a bed that size, so it doesn`t get used. A shame considering it is so lovely. I wrapped the sofa cushion and went all they way over the back for a soft woolly sit. I like it with the modern looking FELT PILLOW I made a few weeks ago.



Hannah Cat has her own plush little bed that she retreats to at bedtime.  She has already been admiring the new woolly wrap, lying on her back and bucking her feet and attacking it making a scrunched up nest of it. And from her new nest, she`s spied something interesting....some Christmas greens and a Santa garland flapping a wee bit when the central heating comes on...Sweet Cat...just leave it alone.

Linking up to Mod Mix Monday

  1. I love how the blanket looks on your sofa. I am going to do something on my vintage sofa because that is where the dogs love to nap and we too are having way too much rain. I agree snow is so much prettier and cheerier. The rain just makes me want to go back to bed.

  5. I adore Hudson Bay blankets, Chania, and yours looks great there. Definitely tired of the rain too, but could you imagine how much snow we would have. I do love the cheeriness of snow and how it makes everything look so fresh.

  6. The blanket looks invitingly cosy on your sofa - I must have a rummage for a few of my own and get some copycat comfort going on here.

  7. Love the blanket - looks so cozy! My dog was the same as your Hannah Cat, preferring the back of the sofa to stretching out on the floor. I think she had a bit of an identity crisis. xo

  8. I have my parents double Hudson's Bay blanket, probably bought in 1950something. I've debated about selling it, or doing something with it and now I have the perfect idea for "winter" here in FL. I will put it over the part of the couch that the Bostons and cats like to sit and look out the front window - it will go perfectly with Christmas stuff since it is one of those with the many colored stripes! Love your look Chania. Ann

  9. Your kitty will surely find a spot on that blanket. I bought our cat a toile covered pet bed and he never sleeps in it. Joe says it is that fabric.

  10. love your design style, the book case in its nude finish looks like a piece I would love to have in my home, its just fabulous in its perfectly imperfect way.

    Thank you Chania for your beautiful visit, it has been far to long since our last visits I am going to have to change that and visit much more often :)

    See you soon and all you inspire for Christmas.

  11. We have a dog and two cats coming with the throngs over the holidays. I'm looking at all my Christmas decorations right now and wondering how they will survive it all!.
    I love HB blankets...just wish they didn't require the taking out of a mortgage to acquire!
