Mostly About HATS

Little Lulu Button and I are really becoming pals. I can see how Dad's sort of lose out on bonding when they are so small. Being with her day in and day out is as daunting and rewarding as the sun rises each day. I've learned most of her cries and for the most part can remedy any situation within 5 minutes (as long as we're home, and I want to ;-P ). When her Daddy gets home he's tired and she favors being soothed by me because it's familiar all day long. Poor Dads they really have it rough.

Today was a nice day at my knitting group. Yesterday Book Club, today knitting. She did well, not as good as last week, but sat in my hat while I undid an inch of knitting in the socks/mittens I started her. Anyhow, she was pretty angry with me grunting most of the time because the knit piece was just out of reach. However I totally am so ecstatic that she can sit up unassisted now because I can set her on her blanket on the floor and she can entertain herself for oh 5 minutes at a time... then a little love, then 5 more minutes for Mommy! Yeah! We didn't buy any new projects (yeah Mommy). I am showing a little restraint despite the really beautiful new skeins of yarn they brought in this week in wonderful vibrant colors.

New Ribbon Hat

Then I went to River Bend, and got this REALLY great hat, similar to the same pattern I sewed her in red, but this lady put pink and black ribbons in it. It's a 1-2 yr old hat so it'll fit her for at least 1 year I hope (see my hat is smaller). I was so excited because it's the same pattern I made 2 weeks ago that I called mom and we talked about hats and flowers/ribbons etc... WOW am I a bore! They really were cute though. Actually there are things about my hat that I like more than the new one, but that's top secret until the project is off the drawing board. OH, and until after I get the sewing machine I found in my yard out of the garage and check out if it works... the Dressmaker doesn't cut it for much although it was fun.

Then to Fresh Catch to measure her foot size 2+ but smaller than a 3 (am I good or what!! That's what I said a blog or two ago). Then home to make dinner.

AND I raked leaves today for 15 minutes (L.'s nap). Not to bad.
