Boredom induced hobby:)

With the cold weather, lately I have spent more days inside than I care to recall. Summers are so nice here, but the winters....pretty for a while, and then all of the sudden you just want to scream at the weather man if he calls for more snow! Please make no mistake, I will forever hold a child-like fascination with the beauty of a snowfall between the months of November and February, but now I am done:). 

I decided I wanted to learn how to make all of those cute newborn hats that I see on the photography sites and blogs I frequent, so I turned to youtube for some instruction. I was surprised at how easy the art of crochet was made to look. Unfortunately, I now realize I was trying to teach myself with an extremely difficult pattern. Ten piles of yarn and half-finished looping patterns later, I figured it out and have been a crocheting fool ever since!

Now that I have figured out the "teddy bear" beanie hat look, I may move on to bigger and better things. J.R.'s mom sent me one of her projects with some fairly intricate work that I need to unravel and dive into.

I also had the pleasure of babysitting my favorite little PA guy this afternoon and snapped a few pictures of him. He has grown so much over the past few months! He has two teeth and his mom says he has a third on the way. He is now crawling, or shall I say army crawling, TOO cute!

Check out his adorable shirt:
