G'day Mate!

Ok!  Shockingly I managed to finish the hat I've been working on for several weeks.  It's been a little busy around here, nothing exciting though, just the reality of having an infant and a toddler running around.  Oh Alice, you're hungry, no problem, I'll just start feeding you and...immediately Henry has smashed his head on something and needs a "nicehug" or he needs Frozen turned on immediately (because it's been at least half an hour since we watched it last).  Fun times.  Apparently I'm not alone in the two kids need me dilemma, if you see my mom, ask her about the pineapple incident.  If  you are lucky enough to hear the story (or maybe you've heard it) she tells it like it was all my fault.  In my defence, I was like 2 years old.

This hat was a special request from our favourite Australian, B.

So here we go, while my babies nap (one of them on the floor on her play mat, feel free to judge me)

Silly goose girl!  In her Koala hat.  I'm not gonna lie, this type of yarn is best suited to scarves and I can't recommend anyone try to use it for anything else.  Part of the reason this took so long is that I nearly abandoned the project on several occasions.  It tangles easily, is hard to attach things to, and heaven help you if you need to frog your work because you made a mistake 3 rows ago.  Best to just soldier on with the error as best you can (and I hate leaving mistakes, my Austrian hand-crafting teacher taught me well [also, don't get the Austrian comment confused with the Australian nature of the post]).

Well hello there handsome little man!  He wanted in on the photo shoot.

Wtf mom.

Such a cutie.  Please disregard the mountains of toys in the background.  On the other hand, feel free to note that my child is wearing a t-shirt and a sweater.  He insists on being clothed in long sleeves and pants and socks at all times; 2 year olds, fun.

Sibling love!  Here, Henry is caressing the god-forsaken fuzzy yarn with delight.  Such a little goofball.

That's all for this post.  I will make no more promises about when the next post will arrive.  Until then!
