I learned that I can do new things with or without instruction. The lady that was supposed to teach this class had to leave because her daughter had the flu. She wrote down some things on a piece of paper on how to do it, but I don't read "crochet". I went home and sat down with my crochet hook and yarn and to my delight, out of my happy accidents came these adorable head bands.
Miss Boo loves them and has put in an order for lots and lots of them in as many colors as she can think of. It takes me less than an hour to finish one, so she may be in luck.
We are as ready as ever for Christmas and interestingly enough I opted to not do as much this year. I am tired of decorating so much and then having to take it all down. By myself.
If only I could get the attitudes of grumpy little children to change, it would be a wonderful Holiday Season. For some reason the four year old has hit the terrible two's.
And... I am not liking it. Not one single bit!

I love your countdown calendar - that frame is the perfect compliment! And the headbands are too, too cute. Don't you just love crochet? I learned from a book last year; I am s-l-o-w, but it is just like magic to see that finished project evolve out of a ball of yarn. And this is the best peak I have had at your home - so beautiful and cozy! The dude may be acting "terribly two" but he's got great taste in trees! :)
Peak? Peek! Oh, you know what I mean.
I totally get you Shannon!
Hey I love those, can you send me the instructions for the calendar and the crochet headbands, please, if you can make them so can I.
