Isn’t this supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year? The hap-happiest season of all? Because I am not feelin’ it. I feel like every day is a struggle to co-exist with this little being in our house. There is a story, it is not mine, that a woman in our church told a mother that if she were to go back in time to one day in her life, it would be a day with each of her children when they were three. I try and try and try to understand this despite the fact that I never met this woman. The worst thing is, at this very moment while my husband puts her to bed, all I can do is think about how I could have tried harder because it must be very hard to be three. Parental guilt. Whew. I thought it was bad for people when the parent guilts the child…but this is really hard to take!
I hope your day is better! Maybe tomorrow will be better for us. Another day, new in the morning!!
Last year I went to the No Coast Craft-o-Rama for the first time with a couple of friends and came home with many glorious finds. Among other things, I purchased this yarn from Aisha Celia Designs. It was about 100 grams before the hat and I now have approximately 4o grams of it left. Isn’t it lovely? I saw her again this year and was just kicking myself for not wearing the hat. I promised her pictures, so late last night, in the glorious light from the bathroom (and a flash of course) I took this lovely picture. I had no idea how fabulously BORING the carpet is in our hallway upstairs!! I do think this is a fairly accurate representation of the yarn. I will be going to her etsy shop shortly after the new year…after I knit Endpaper Mitts for myself (out of stash yarn! Gasp!!!) for getting through the holiday season alive…assuming I do…
oh, oh, OH!!! That great pattern for the hat? It’s a free pattern, the Flapper Hat pattern from the fantastic Sarah (as in, with an “h”)!!!
