I got my husbands' hat out to compare it to the one I just finished, so you can see what I was talking about in my last post. My husbands' hat, on the right; was done with one strand of worsted weight. I did the hat on the left with two strands held together, like the pattern says to. See how the top is all pointy? I do not like that.
My husband got me a cake and some "sparkler" candles for my birthday. 😍 They were pretty cool. But you had to let them go out on their own (they wouldn't blow out-I tried), and it burned the top of the frosting in some parts. The cake is half chocolate and half vanilla. And, is almost gone! I only had one piece on my birthday, and I had a small piece today. It's a lot of sugar, though; and it's too sweet for me, anyway.
One of the other things my husband got me was a new cup for my tea. 😊 I said a while ago, "I am going to need a winter cup to drink my tea out of". The one I was using all summer has strawberries on it. (First picture). This is the one he got me. I love it.
I woke up the day before my birthday and thought "Happy Birthday to me, I can put up my tree"... LoL I always want to put the tree up early. My husband wants to wait until the day after Thanksgiving. Ughhh.. I sung my new birthday song to my husband and we (I should say, "he") put up the tree on my birthday. HA. He put it up, and put the angel on top and I decorated it. Cosmo went right to his spot under the tree. 😻 When I was trying to put some of the other Christmas decorations out (my crocheted tree), I was fixing the beaded rope on the tree, and I saw a purple thing sticking out of it. Why is there a crochet hook in the tree??????? Crazy. No it wasn't the one I lost that I just posted about. But obviously I did lose it at one time. I'll probably find the other one somewhere stupid like that. :P
Since I finished the hat, I was in the mood (rare for me, so I have to take advantage of it while it lasts) to finish more things. I got the dinosaur out which is all done being crocheted, but I had to sew all the parts on (which I hate). I started doing that yesterday. I got everything sewn on, then I had to crochet the spots still and sew them on. Which is almost done, too. I have one more spot to sew on. Now I have two more things I crocheted/knitted, that I don't know what to do with..... (Sigh). Both the reasons I started both projects I don't think are going to work out. And now, since we put up the tree (I forgot to mention, it's a new Christmas tree! And, it's about a foot taller, and wider than our old tree)... I think we need more Christmas ornaments! I don't know. So maybe I will crochet some more, or knit a Christmas Bell. I usually put candy canes on the tree, too. But, no one ever eats them any more and I actually just recently threw out some candy canes that were about (probably) four years old that were up in a cupboard. If this mood to finish things lasts, maybe I can finish up some of the doll clothes.
~Until Next Time~
