Santa Boo-Boo

I finished my first knit hat! It was challenging, but fun all the way through. The second Santa hat should go pretty smoothly now that I've figured some things out. Emmelia modeled the hat for me this morning before deciding it was a little too small for her (I'm going to have to make hers the "woman" size instead of "child").

But that's good because her head stretched out the band perfectly for Maura to wear it. And wear it she did - she was so excited. She ran over to the Deac and said "I'm Santa Boo-Boo!" and then proceeded to wear it to daycare. She still had it on when I dropped her off this morning. So, you know, I had to make a layout about it to showcase my friend Amy's new "Imperfect Holiday" kit.


This was my favorite photo of the several of Maura in the hat that I took this morning. Unfortunately, she was reaching for the camera so her hands are in the way. I tried to overcome this distraction by cropping in closely. This also worked well to accentuate those eyes!

Shockingly, I even scrapped a little at home this weekend! I made a 5x7 photo gift for my friend Z. - the one who just had her first baby. It was fun to put together and she really seemed to like it. I sent it home from church with her husband on Sunday.
