I'm craftier than you think! - Part 2

Yesterday when I posted about the things I have made recently I forgot to mention the hat I crocheted for myself! On Sunday night (after the worst week was finally over and Grandma was playing with Lila) I finally had the chance to crochet this hat that I've been wanting. I almost broke down and ordered one on etsy.com, but I decided I had far too much yarn and that $15 was too much to pay for something I could make myself. So these are a couple of pics of my hat. Since having Lila I have many days when I don't have time to do my hair. Also, my hair is at an awkward almost-shoulder length and doesn't make a nice ponytail , so I have been wanting a slouchy hat to stuff all my hair into. I think the hat turned out pretty cute and if you're interested in crocheting one for yourself here's the pattern link: http://jessicasuzanne.com/craftypants/2007/09/13/pretty-puffs-slouchy-hat-with-pattern/. 
By the way, in the spirit of giving credit where credit is due I am also posting the links below for instructions on how to make the bows and flowers I made in the previous post:

Adria,
You are so crafty. I never knew this side to you. I appreciate craftiness because I strive to be crafty too.

All the emotions

Moving of course brings up all sorts of thoughts and feelings. As I declutter and go through all of our stuff I get distracted with the memories that items bring up. I've had moments of sadness and feeling like time flies far too quickly. But of all the feelings, the most overwhelming one has been joyful gratitude. All my reflections on these years here in Austin, and most especially this last year have made me realize how far I've come in my life. This year I have achieved just about all I could ever hope for in life. I've come to love life with all it's ups and downs. I've learned how to roll with the punches and keep my chin up when things get tough. I've truly learned to put myself at the top of the priority list. I have more of myself to give than ever before. I've learned how to give and receive friendship. I've come to love and accept myself as I am. I know I am stronger than ever (and not just my muscles, but truly I think I am physically at my...

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

By
Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...
