52 Finishes: Week 18- Lamb Hat Giveaway!

Did you know, I've been blogging for 4 Years?! I have, as of last Friday.  You can read my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year wrap ups if you want to...

Some of my favorite things that have happened this year...
September sewing month, which will happen again, starting Thursday! Yay!
I love pumpkins
Family pictures are so great, and they captured Max sitting up for the first time!
I started my 52 finishes Project, and I will finish it too :)
You learned about my crazy super market happenings.  This one involving the invention of the quesadilla
Darick's family had their first reunion!

Shall we move on to even more exciting things? Cool.  So I saw this hat and thought it was super cute.  I knew I could recreate it, and so I got to work.  Here's the result...

Instead of having it tie ( too much hassle with a baby/child) I just made a strap that buttons.    I love how it turned out!  I won't tell how I did it, cause I don't think that would be fair to the original artist(but I did crochet it)  I think this hat would be cute pretty much anytime of the year.  Halloween? Yes please!  Snowy day? For sure! Just because? Why not?!  And just because I am celebrating.... I'm gonna give this hat away!  You'll have til Friday to leave a comment telling me what you would use this hat for. I would say it might be a smidge too small on Jayne for everyday wear, but Max was taking a nap during the picture.  So I would say newborn-3years old?  But hey, whatever floats your boat. 
To see my other finishes, Click here!  thanks for celebrating with me!

2 years...

Two years ago today I started my Blog. I don't really blog about everything I do, mostly I blog about Jayne and things I make. I didn't really know what to do to celebrate, so I think I’ll just do a normal post...I mean, a get to know me better post. So here we go
Top 10 things you didn't know about me...
1. I get embarrassed when people think I can "make anything," it’s kind of intimidating being so admired, I make a lot of mistakes, I just don't post them
2. I love candy, I loved it when I was little and I love it now. When I go on long car trips, I love Wonka chewy candy (Runts, spree, gobstoppers....)
3. Darick and hardly ever go to the movies, but we watch a ton at home, and we pretty much always have the new releases.
4. I love audio books; my momma read to me (and my siblings) when we were little, and even now when I visit... I love to be read to, and an easy solution is books on CD. (In fact, when we were dating Darick read to me, and I fell in love with him)
5. I don't really want to have any sons... don't get me wrong, I love other peoples little boys, but I would rather have girls... and it's not because I have 6 sisters, because my closest friend growing up was my little brother, I just like the drama of girls I guess.
6. I hate yard work, but I want a pretty yard...
7. I hate doing the dishes, and I love cleaning bathrooms
8. I like to climb trees
9. I like to go to the bookstore, pick a book and just sit there and read the whole thing
10. I like the smell of paper, books, newspaper, wrapping paper, magazines... maybe because my dad works at a paper mill?
