Here is the hat.  It's supposed to look like fire.  It has a slightly odd fit but I don't know it that is the pattern, if I modified it or if it's just his little head.  The pattern is "Magic the Gathering White Mana Hat" by Nicole Dana which is free on Ravelry.

I really didn't get much done yesterday.  I got all the yarn that I ripped out of the sweater wound up.  I also made the gray shepherds costume.  I have to make the belt and then do the burgundy one.  I have some hemming to do as well.  I'm falling behind on the test crochet but I think the shepherds costumes are more important.  I don't understand why I have to wait to the last minute.  I need to budget my time better.

Wile I was working on the sewing I decided that I would rather listen to podcasts than whatever TV show the kids were watching (we were kind of in the same room so it's hard not to watch).  I listened to old episodes of Knitting Pipeline,  a few episodes of Wild Ideas, The Fat Squirrel Speaks, and Homespun.  I love how Paula (Knitting Pipeline) loves all the seasons.  She likes to take each moment as it comes because time is the only thing we can't get more of.  I'm not quite so good at that.  Wild Ideas is really interesting.  I am learning a bunch of things about prairie nature.  It gave me an idea about some things we (the kids and I) can do.  There is a little bump (not even a hill) by the golf course that I thought we could walk over there when it's warm and look at any nature we can see there.  I was even thinking we might be able to go over there on the first of every month and take a picture and by the end of they year we would have an interesting series of pictures. 

I haven't played Wow or watched kdrama lately and sadly that is probably not going to change anytime soon.  Since I must get this sewing done I think I'm going to listen to Knitting Pipeline till I catch up.  I usually listen to Pandora wile I clean but I think I'll just stick with podcasts as long as I'm in the same room. 

I volunteered today at the school.  I love to do that.  Today one of the teaches said she felt bad having me do this but I told her it was fine.  She was teaching so I couldn't tell her how much I enjoyed it and if more teachers asked I would help them too.  I really wish that was an actual job.  Nest week is the last one before Christmas break and I thought I wouldn't be needed as everyone would be finishing the loose ends but one of the teachers wanted me back so I'll go.  Now that I did my "work" at the school I better do my work at home.  See you tomorrow.
