Ok . . . I have dropped off the face of the earth as of late . . . but I am not dead . . . Just CRAZY BUSY NUTS!
You know when NOTHING seems to slow down . . . that is our world right now . . . I have a bunch to tell you . . . . and I will as soon as I find my head!
Soon . . . I promise!

I did this hat for Zae last Christmas. Actually, I was making the hat for my Brother, but the size was wrong, so Zae got this one and Bro got a bigger one. Then Bro had a baby (actually, his wife HAD the baby, but he sure helped!). So I made a smaller one for her.
You can see it above on Baby Carrie (she was my doll when I was Zae’s age, then he adopted her!). Of course you don’t see Puppe (I think that is a way to say baby girl in German, at least that is what the internet told me, please tell me if I am wrong) in her hat, due to the fact that she is in Germany and I am here!
This is killing me right now. Some of my family has gone over there this week to meet her. And my mom is going for Christmas and Puppe’s Baptism. I can’t afford to go . . . and it is sad. It is so strange to be an aunt and not have met the baby!
I have been an aunt by marriage for 8+ years now, and I LOVE them dearly! But I am surprised by the different feeling I have for Puppe. Not that I love her more, just a very different connection . . . this might also have to do with the fact that J&S were 4 and 1 when I met them, not newborn. I don’t know.
Anyway, I wish I was in Germany holding the little one in the hat!
Oh, the bow on the Little Hat . . . I knit and I-cord around a pipe cleaner. The bow can be bent and stand up on its own . . . it is a very cute look. I can’t take credit for the bow idea; it was sweetie who came up with the idea! HERE HERE for non-knitters who pay enough attention to be able to give pointers!

The other day, I did something with my needles I NEVER would have thought of!
Stuck them through the wall!!!!
We were running a phone cord from one room to another (OH, please don’t let my landlord see this) and needed to make a small hole. Metal Number 8’s to the rescue!
It really worked well! Who would have thought it!
