A Baby Hat and Card for a Friend

 


We LOVE babies at my house.  I was recently blessed with the opportunity to make a little gift for a friend who just had a beautiful baby girl.  

For the hat, I made a preemie pattern with thicker yarn and larger needles than the pattern directed to make a newborn-sized hat. It has a sweet eyelet pattern and was simple and easy to make.  The card was a Cricut Joy project with some fun pink paper.  :)

A Knitted Hat for a Friend...

This is a hat I completed for a friend a little bit ago!  I used a soft navy yarn that has great stretch but maintains its shape.  I don't knit much these days, but it is so relaxing when I do!  I love to listen to an audiobook or watch a movie while I snag a few minutes to knit here and there.  In the midst of the hustle and bustle of things, it is important to take care of yourself too!  What do you like to do to relax and reset?

Signed, Sealed, Delivered

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is another TV series I have watched on Hallmark Movies Now and enjoyed.  It follows four postal workers - the "Postables" - who work in the "Dead Letter Office."  Their primary job is to track down recipients of lost mail and deliver those lost items.  I would describe the series as quirky - the characters, the setting, and the job are all quirky.  Not in a bad way, just quirky.  There were underlying elements of mystery and suspense whether or not they would find the mail's rightful owner.  True to Hallmark's nature, everything always ended happily and the letters were always reunited with their intended recipients.  For some reason, I thought the main characters were kids before I watched it.  Not sure where that idea came from, but the four main characters are, in fact, adults.  :)  

There are 10 episodes and 12 movies thus far.  I enjoyed the 10 episodes more than the movies.  Maybe because of their shorter length?  Whatever it is, I enjoyed the episode storylines better. I also enjoyed seeing a lot of crossover actors from Chesapeake Shores on it.  

If you're looking for a fun, mindless, yet suspenseful show to watch, you might really enjoy this one - I sure did!

Fresh Baked Brownies

 


Does anything smell better than pulling fresh brownies out of the oven?  Not to me!  I was thrilled to find a vegan brownie recipe that we love!
