Two things

 Two things to show you today!  First of all, I finished knitting this little hat for our granddaughter...



Pattern is 'Pineapple Hat' by Little Red Window Design
and can be found HERE

and...work has begun on the new landscape.  It's at the state that these things always go through when I wonder why I'm even bothering to do what I do.  I know it will likely get better but for now I do have my doubts.  



- THIS artist does great work and it's well worth checking it out.

- THIS CAL might intrigue some of you.

- THIS you tube video show you how to add strength and stability when you're making  handles for bags.

- Have a look at the pretties found in the gallery of THIS artist.

This quote made me smile..."Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?"

    I like the perspective. Looking around the side of building.

    Sherry of createology: Love the VW landscape project. Such a cute pineapple hat for the little Miss. Great idea for strong crochet handles.

  6. I think our little one will look really cute in that hat. The strengthening idea for handles is a good one that now I just have to remember to do when I need it!

    1. I can't wait to see pictures of the wee one in her new hat, but I suspect that won't happen for a few months.

  9. That sweet baby is definitely going to be a trend setter in that darling pineapple hat; would love to see a picture! I am sure the latest landscape will be another stunning piece.

    1. Thank you for having faith in me! I'm sure I will see our wee one modeling the hat at some point but not likely until fall.

    1. She's gorgeous anyway so the hat will be secondary (not that I am biased in any way!)

  11. Oooh, if my daughter had had a little girl she would have loved that pineapple hat - she loves the pineapple motif.

    1. There's always a moment of wondering if the base of a landscape is going to come alive, despite my knowing that it always has.

    1. I made it a tad too large for her now so I will have to wait until fall to see photos of her wearing it.

  14. What a fabulous pineapple cap...and seeing the carrot cap I am tempted to do one of each for GGKs. I am never in doubt when it comes to your ingenuity of creating landscapes. You rock MA! Very interesting videos also.

    1. The pineapple hat was a special request from our daughter-in-love so how could I refuse!
