Bedtime Surprise

Often Cynthia will sleepwalk into our room in the middle of the night, climb up into our bed and use her 42lbs body to full take over the bed.  Tonight was a little different, she wondered a little earlier then usual and when I went to bed she was laying in a ball on top of bed, on top of all the covers... she was soooo cute.

This will be one of those pictures that she will hate in a few years :)

Yes, I crochet a little.

It's been a really long time since I sat down and crocheted something other then a boring and incredibly repetitive blanket.  

Lately I have seen lost of great crochet hats and headbands with big flowers on them, I loved them so much I headed to etsy to buy one... then I thought, maybe I should try and make one myself.  

Step 1:  Find just the right colours for Cynthia.

Step 2:  Actually sit down and make it.

Step 3:  Show off the finish product.

Here is it:

I managed to make the hat on my own (without a pattern) but the flower completely stumped me, I had to find a pattern for it.  I am pretty please with the way it turned out, especially for my first try.

Cynthia is feeling a bit under the weather today and wasn't really in the mood to pose with the hat, but I still think she looks beautiful.

Bravo Cynthia, tu as lu 100 livres!

It is with great pride that I write this post.  On Thursday night Cynthia read her 100th French book and Friday at school she was presented with a certificate from her teacher for reaching this milestone.  She loves going to school in French as well as reading.   She was very proud to show off her certificate.

Today she is at 102 books read :)
