    I noticed that there is a definite pattern to what she does with the blankets. She opens each one in front of her, then puts it over her back like a shawl, then takes just one hand (right or left) and lays it on top of the other blankets in the nest. This nest looked great and colorful!!

    I LOVE it when she puts her boot ion her pelvic pocket!!

    Great video Diana!!

    P.S. **Jackie** Wish I could be there tomorrow and help you fold all those blankets when they come out of the dryer!!

    OMG I was laughing my head off at the “improvements” made to the pillow and that big blue hand chair sitting beside Jamie is hilarious!!!! I never noticed it before..I must be tired.

    Has Foxie’s nest building progressed any further, e.g., adding more sheets or towels?

    I love it! I especially love the part where she builds the nest incorporating the railing, almost as if it were a tree branch that she might be anchoring the nest to…fascinating. She’s so deliberate! and the gentle way she asked Jody if she might want to play? That was lovely! -K

    You know that anything that’s wrapped gets to be unwrapped, and now the pillowcase serves as another part of the nest!

    I have to try that pelvic pocket trick; I have one! 🙂
