I love surprises!!!

Today started off like any other bleh Monday but it sure got better in a hurry! The co-worker who I made the poncho for bought me One skein by Leigh Radford as a thank you! Score! That was so sweet of her! I love surprises!




I was crafty this weekend too, but I just haven't taken pics of anything. Since Piper wasn't home this weekend, I kicked my butt into high gear (in between naps of course). I've been working on some winter projects for the upcoming sale at Pi's school. I've managed to get 3 baby hats, 1 toddler hat, and 5 fleece children's scarves done over the last few days. I'm also about 75% done with a poncho for a co-workers 4 year old.

I've made a list of projects I want to get finished for the sale and a timeline to go with it. I think making the timeline was a bad idea. I am such a Type A personality that if I fall behind on the timeline, it drives me insane.

Case in point: On Friday, I was supposed to have finished one of the baby hats but was so tired when I got home that I took a nap instead. I woke up in the middle of the night and stayed up until 6am to finish the hat before allowing myself to go back to sleep. Also, last night I had 4 of the fleece scarves completed, but my timeline said I was supposed to have 5 done this weekend. So instead of relaxing and winding down for bed, I was up until 11pm (I need to wake up at 5)finishing the scarf.

So while I may be tired this morning, I have a sick sense of accomplishment that only a Type A can understand. :)

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know that more than 40,000 people (including men!) will die this year of breast cancer? That figure is staggering. My godmother (only in her 40's) died of breast cancer in 1990, so breast cancer awareness is a big deal to me.

Please do a self-breast exam at least once a month! In honor of this month, here's a pink hat. It was made from a baby hat pattern that I adjusted to fit my large noggin.

Here's the pattern: Oh Baby hat

Can't tell I pencil in my eyebrows, can ya? :)~
