Hats and Hats

I have been busy crocheting hats like mad trying to perfect the patterns. I have already spoiled some Christmas gifts so I thought I would share them on the website.

This is a hat for my sister's boyfriend Chris. I think I will make him another one to surprise him. Blake tried it on for fun.



I am also experimenting with skater hats for kids. I bought a bunch of funny patches and will sew them on the side like real skater hats.

How To Read A Magazine

Welcome Home Sweet Sugar

Three and a half weeks later and she is finally home! We overheated the van and blew the engine head. She runs better now and has more pick up, but there seems to still be an electrical issue regarding the temperature light/sensor.

We drove to Pacifica for a day at the beach today and man was I happy to have the luxury of hanging out on a comfy bed while Andrew surfed. The beach was packed full of people due to the Labor Day weekend and Andrew surfed on some of the biggest waves I have seen so far. It scared me, but only tired Andrew out since it was so hard to paddle out past the white water. He is building up that surfer stamina.


Tomorrow we will be at Manresa beach come morning and back at the house to BBQ with some friends (brave ones who aren't afraid of catching Blake's cold). Everyone is welcome, but Blake's cold is still lingering a bit.

I know Labor Day has some history behind it, but all I can think about are all the women around the world who will be going into labor on Labor Day. Go on strong sista's!

I'm Sick For The Very First Time

Blake came down with his first cold a day and a half ago. Poor guy has smiled through all of it though. The heat isn't helping one bit, but hopefully it will be over soon. He never ran a temperature so we are just riding this one out. You can click on the pictures to see them bigger if you want to get the full effect of his red, runny eyes.

This was taken this evening when he started getting a bit worse (why does it always get worse at the end of the day?). He is sleeping soundly now and I hope tonight is a bit easier on him, for last night his cough kept waking him up.

My Own Johnny Jumper

Today, we bought Blake a Johnny Jumper off of craigslist so he can start stretching out his muscles. He seems to like it. I am sure he will be springing all around in a few weeks.

Teenie Is In The Dog House






"What mom, Teenie ate my favorite toy? She should be put to sleep."
















RIP fun, blue toy from Tina and Angelique. You were much loved.

Finally Finished

I have finally finished crocheting the birthday pillows for my second God-children in Switzerland. Neele and Elina will be turning one next month so I had to hurry to finish the pillows because it will take a few weeks in the mail for them to arrive. I crocheted the covers and then cross-stitched their names and animals on the front and back sides.

Fronts:


Backs: Giraffe & Elephant


Kind of silly looking, but hopefully the kids will like them.
