Go Team!

This is what happens when grandma and grandpa are huge 49er fans and have season tickets to the games AND happen to buy jerseys for their two grandsons while at one such game.

My little future football star in all his glory:

Party Hat

This is the hat I worked on yesterday for our friends' son's first birthday party on Saturday. I LOVE the yarn, it's really cool how it changes texture and adds little pops of color. 

Being on quite a tiny budget this year inspired me to attempt all of our holiday gifts for $5 or less. Even though this is a birthday gift I thought it would be a fun challenge, so I found a free hat pattern on Ravelry. After making a couple of personal adjustments to the pattern, creating all the owl features myself and buying yarn on sale with an additional 25% off  (and using some I already had on hand) it came in right about $5! 

The picture of Elliot is blurry because he is not a fan of hats and was rather upset with me for trying to take that picture. 

The good news is that it even looks cute on a pouting face!

This beautiful bearded man is responsible for two of my favorite songs.
I think about these two song a lot this time of year.
