Saturday December 21, 2019

My father passed away Saturday. He had a PhD in psychology, worked with kids in Australia, taught in Korea, Japan and other countries, and worked at the Department of health for many years.

But I will remember him as a father that dressed as "Mr. Surprise Man" every night for many years to give us comics if we were in bed on time, that got us McD cones as a treat, played the stock market game with us whenever we wanted, and took us to Tilt every week and gave us a couple bucks to play video games.

He was generous and happy and people loved talking to him wherever he was. I was lucky enough that he let me take care of him during his battle with ALS. He is now traveling the universe with Mom.

Hat 270

These buttons were so cute, I had to make a bright looking hat to go with them! 

Hat 269

The buttons on this hat are a bit more subtle.  Since the hat is a bit busy, I put the buttons on as a sort of surprise when you look at it.

Hat 268

Since I got a bunch of different adorable buttons, I wanted to make a garden theme hat with them.  I made some blue sky and then used fuzzy yarn for the grass!  I almost kept this cute hat, but decided it's so cute I had to give it away!

Hat 267

Light blue yarn with a couple of different baby yarns together make a pretty simple beanie!  My sister commented how she wishes she liked wearing beanies because then she could steal this hat!  Luckily she isn't a hat person or I'd have to lock up my hats when she's around!
