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!

Hat 266

Quick DC hat with a brown yarn paired with a variegated yarn! I always like hats with 2 yarns, it makes it look interesting. 

Hat 265

Adding a little fall color to a hat!  Plus a couple cute little buttons!

Hat 264

I had some light brown variegated yarn and I had some dark brown variegated yarn so I just did them in stripes to give a little contrast.

Hat 263

Sometimes you just want to make a nice black and white hat! 

Hat 262

Cute little Elf hat with some pretty buttons!

Hat 261

Hat 261!  Just a easy sideways hat with some Variegated yarn and cream yarn!  I realized after that I made it super long, but since you can flip the brim, doesn't matter too much.

Hat 260

While in the mainland I picked up some Country Loom Yarn by Loops & Threads when I went on one of my Michael's yarn sprees!  It's so pretty and soft and I've been sort of saving it to make something for someone, but decided it would make a great hat! I wish the big craft stores wouldn't charge so much to ship to Hawaii!  It's usually more than the price of the yarn, so the great deals turn out to be not so great.

Hat 259

As usual I have to have a few hats in the Lion Brand Homespun yarn because it's just so soft!  I tried to add a little buttons and edging to this to make it look a bit like a flapper hat. 

Hat 258

I have a lot of this yarn since I planned on making a blanket for a friend's wedding gift.  After I started it, I thought it might not really be his style at all so now I have a bunch of this yarn for hats! 

Hat 257

Had some more of the feathery yarn from a friend so added a little to a simple hdc hat!
