I have been keeping myself busy reading and crocheting while I have been down recovering. And don't confuse the boredom that I have sometimes incountered for the need to go back to domestic chores. I have loved having none. I had my surgery on the 16th of December and Craig took that day through the end of the year off so that he could play mom. I have gotten so spoiled I don't know how I will go back to housework. He and the boys have kept the house clean dishes washed and laundry done. I have been trying to send sumbliminal messages to convince them that they want to continue this but they all agree they don't enjoy it and while they have a new found feeling for what I do around here every day, it is also apparant that they can't wait for me to take back over. Oh well it was a good run. And I can't even begin to express how grateful I am to them for all they have done and especially to Craig who has done most of it. Thanks guys.
This first picture is a hat that I saw in a book that was made for a doll about the size of a Bratz doll. I thought that it would be cute and wondered why it couldn't be made for a bigger head. So here it is this one fits Jacob although it is a girls hat. But Patrick was happy to model it for me. I made a bigger one for my neice out of a pink and it turned out really cute but I didn't get a pic before I gave it to her.
This hat would fit a smaller child I based it loosely off of the measurements I had for another hat for an infant to toddler sized head. This is a very easy hat to make and I really like the way that the tassles turned out.
For those of you who are already up and stamping this year stamp something for me and I will be rejoining you in a couple of weeks.
Happy New Year!
