Cheeky boys and crafty mumma...

Been trying to enjoy the toddler of late... sometimes he drives me absolutely crazy (like at 4:20am and calling out at the top of his lungs, or staring me down when I tell him to do something), but he continuously catches me off guard with his cheekiness and cuteness.  He is so different to his big brother, who was full on but not quite as stubborn. I think he drives me nuts because he is shaping up to be much more like me! Oh dear.

Oh yes! He makes me laugh heartily!!!

Now for the crafty mumma bit... I actually have really bad "Tennis Elbow" which I am affectionately renaming "Crochet Elbow" as that is much more accurate!  However, thanks to a lovely brace I have been able to continue to create some lovely things, well, hats actually!!!

The top one is for a friends little baby girl and I found the pattern here. The middle one is a cloche hat which I'm not too sure about, but would love to know what others think. I found this pattern here and adapted it. However I do like her blog and think I will follow her! Then the bottom one is my fave but unfortunately is a little bit big.  I had pinned this and the second hat on Pintrest and am proud of myself for making something I pinned!  I'm still tossing up if I keep it or give it to my youngest brother who has also taken a real liking to it. Find this pattern here. 

Then there is the other boy! Oh he is growing up fast too. We have been learning his first set of "Sight Words" and he is not doing too badly!! I have been having heart swells every time he gets it right or just does his homework without complaining about it!!  This is our latest things to spice up his work...

Thanks to my friend Katherine at Saffron Threads who sent me this link for this Parking Lot game!!! It was a real winner!!!

Thats all for now... I am sure there will be more soon. I must take more photos!!!
