My lovely husband was home all last week which is why my blog has been quiet. I love having him home but I am always glad to get the house back when he returns to work. I have no idea what we are going to do when he retires. Wait we'll be farmers so he will be busy with a thousand projects that need to get done.
So last week nap time some how became optional and went out the window. I am paying for this today and most likely tomorrow too.
School work for all parties became unbearable. With all the extra help less got done then normal.
I read Chaucer for the first time. I was surprised that his vulgar story telling is considered classic, also I had to write a short paper on whether he was for or against the church. I am pretty sure he was against it.
I sent the boys to pick our Christmas tree and some how all three of them decided on a 5 foot tree. I am 5'7". The lesson is always go as a family to pick the Christmas tree. It is pretty all dressed up even if it is the smallest tree we have ever had.
Finally I have found a new obsession . . .
Hats
Flowers
Adding flowers to Hats
Making my boys model flowery hats.
I have to be honest this yarn is some that someone gave me because they didn't like it. I have kept it around to try things out. If I don't like the outcome no big deal. It is kind of Christmasy if you squint a little to the left.
Then I discovered the five petal flowers.
Oh yes friends, I like these flowers a lot.
Now what can I attach them too.
You guessed right a hat. I love the color of the flowers on the white hat.
The boys realized that these were girl hats.
I had to force him to model it for me.
I made them each their own hat. Which caused happy faces. Isn't he cute!
I am glad he is missing a tooth if he wasn't he would look a lot older. Then I would worry.
This is for one of my little nieces. I am so happy her mom said I could make her stuff with flowers on it. Then she said in natural colors or yellow. Wait! What? I want pink. Still I like the hat. I hope she does too.
So I am afraid you will be seeing more crocheted flowers and other stuff as I learn how to do them. I want to learn to make socks. Then I can make myself socks with flowers on them. I wonder if that is hard?
Any chance you were impressed by this new super talent? No. I don't blame you. Yes? You would not be so impressed if you knew how super easy these projects are. If you want to learn the secret to these lovelies check youtube. That is right step by step instructions. I hope you don't mind all of the pictures this week. I can not control myself. Do you know what I found that is next on my list? I won't make you guess it is a dinosaur hat. I have to buy yarn. I also need to con some people into letting me make them one. Do you need a hat? I am just kidding, kind of.
I hope you have a wonderful week filled with Holiday cheer (We celebrate Christmas but I love saying happy Holiday's because we are all in it together trying to spread goodwill to all) I hope it is full of peace and hope and Love and Laughter. Be well my friends.
