Time Flies

I can't believe Joshua turns 2 by the end of the month...

I had planned to do a Sesamestreet themed party this time, but for the very complicated cake I wanted to make, I needed help and help wasn't available the weekend we're celebrating Joshua's birthday.
I also want to do an extravagant party for this theme, but Joshua doesn't seem to be really into Sesamestreet at the moment...

What he's really into are these little guys:

Who doesn't love them...

He especially loves this youtube video:

So I'm planning... Check my Minion-board on Pinterest!

Owl Hat and something matching

Remember the Owl Hat I made for Joshua last winter?

Guess what? It still fits...

















Sorta...

Well, last winter I also promised someone I'd make a hat for her daughter to wear next winter.

I got a huge pile of clothes for Joshua, and the didn't want anything for it, just the hat.

I started on the hat, but then spring came, and summer. And I never finished the hat.
But when summer neared it's'end, the crocheting-itch started to come back and I picked up the owl project.
I felt kind of bad for taking so long, so I made a matching surprise.


I think the little lady looks very happy wearing this!

Thank you Mariella for letting me use this picture!

Pattern Writing in Progress

I'm working on it, the toadstool pattern.


















With a grumpy, whiny, tantrum throwing toddler around me...

Teething sucks, big time...

This seems to do the trick though...
