is that I found the little felty fuzzy I need to sew on my Marsupial Tote pouch. (I really wasn’t expecting to.) The bad news is that it was in a bag of almonds that my children don’t have access to. This brings up two questions. How do I feel about publicly accusing my innocent little ones of loosing it? And, HOW IN THE WORLD DID IT GET INTO A BAG OF ALMONDS!? Well the answer to the first question is easy. They have obviously given me reason to suspect them, so they deserved it. The second question still plagues. Almonds???
Moving on. I haven’t decided what to do about the blue tote yet, so I don’t have any progress to show you. I am toying with ideas for a new project, but I’m not ready to post about that one yet. So here’s one of my very favorite hats on Abigail.
It is a little fuzzy from being worn, and worn , and worn, and worn, and worn. I don’t mind that kind of fuzzy. It’d have to be made from teflon to not be fuzzy after all the love it’s had. I’m very pleased.
Here’s another one I’m pretty happy with. This hat is being modeled by Olivia, but it is mine, so it is pretty big on her.
I have a confession to make. I cannot make decent pom poms. They shed. I tie the string around as tight as I can, fearing the yarn will snap, and still, they shed. Don’t come to me for pom pom advice, that’s all I can say. Nate can make a pom pom. We were making black pom poms together for the kids one night so they could have their own “soot sprites” (from the movie My Neighbor Totoro). He kicked my pom pom making butt. Who knew?

Hey Laura,
Grandma forwarded me your new website address. This is really neat. I can see that you are totally awesome at knitting! Your 3 girls are just adorable. I remember when I visited you all you had was little Abbigail and baby Olivia. The time just flies! Married life is great! I can’t think of anything more wonderful. Matt and I are going to wait until I’m mostly finished with school before we start our family. I’m planning on going into Nursing. I attend BYU right now, and it’s keeping me super busy. I hope all is well with you. Happy Birthday!
Love,
Mindy

Oh, I love the Makkuro Kurosuke! That’s a really clever use of pom poms. I think I need to make some for me to hang from my car rear-view mirror.

That is a good idea! We currently don’t have anymore soot sprites floating around. My dog has got to them all. The car though….. They would be out of his reach there! I might just do that too! We hot glued eyes on them, and they were really cute. Olivia’s birthday was in April. She wanted a Totoro party, so I made a Totoro cake, they watched the movie, and everybody went home with a soot sprite in their party favor bag. It was fun.
