Hats anyone?

 I think I have gone a little overboard making hats lately!  These are not even all of them.  After I vacuum the stairs, I'm going to lay them all out to see if I can get a picture of all of them before I take most of them to the local Family Services.  They called last week asking if I could start gathering more hats and I told her I had quite a few done already.   She was so excited!  I love being able to fill a need when it arises.

I've also been giving the owl hats to friends with little ones.  I've also thought about selling them on etsy, but don't want to have to link my bank account to their website.  My daughters opened a shop last summer and when my daughter sold something, the paypal wouldn't go through until I registered my bank account.  Does anyone know how to get around doing that?  I'd love to use the money for postage.  Shipping for things like Superstorm Sandy can get quite expensive.

And here's a watermelon quilt in soft pastel colors.  It is super snuggly too.

I've been busy

sitting on the couch and crocheting baby hats.  Lots of my friends say they want one or two for baby gifts or have a baby coming.  The owl hats take me about an hour and the other ones take about 30 minutes.  The repetitive nature of crocheting helps my migraines.  I've had a doozy of one this week.  Thursday and today I thought I was going to die from the pain.  Usually I can handle it, but this time it made me nauseous and I had to stop what I was doing (writing questions at school from the book on Thursday and come home from shopping today) because i was afraid I wouldn't make it.

I was really hopeful that the new medicine (Depakote) was going to be the wonder drug, but it isn't looking like that anymore. :(

chevron and baby

 I'm pretty pleased with the quilting I did on this chevron quilt my friend Rebecca sewed this summer.  I'm trying to think about what type of quilting will make the pattern stand out more, but still keep it simple enough that I can finish it quickly.

And how cute is this baby wearing one of my owl hats.  I made different sized ones and this one fit the best.  Now waiting for a picture of the little boy wearing the big one.  Nice to have friends who have tiny ones to model for me :)
