This is the first donation baby hat of the year.  It feels like it took longer than is should have.  The internet has been working well so far so maybe I can get back on a better schedule.  Mostly I've been working on the heart bookmarks but they are a little boring.  I need to count how many I have so I can feel like I'm making progress.  I have fifteen at last count but I'm not sure I made more since then.  I think there are 21 kids in my sons class so I think I'll make 25 so he can give one to the teacher or other helpers that he wants to.  As soon as I get done with the bookmarks I'll finish my husband's hat.  Seeing it in the picture made me feel like there was progress, it gets a little boring just going round and round.  I still have the giant totoro and my fingerless gloves waiting in line.

My son was sick the day before so I kept him home yesterday.  He did not act sick in the least so I had him do school work and looked for nature/ science programs on TV.  I made a joke on Facebook about looking up "science" on Hulu and being directed to Dr. Who.  I got suggestions of science things to look up on Youtube and my sister-in-law sent me a cute little video of an octopus.  The octopus was the cutest thing ever, it looked like a little alien.  It was a dumbo octopus and the footage is from a Nautilus dive in September last year.  You can look it up on Youtube if you want to see it.  I wish I had a little stuffed animal of it and yes there is both a knit and crochet pattern for it. Sadly they cost money so I probably won't be making it.  The Nautilus is an interesting thing too if you want to look that up, I'm just not going to link everything.

I think that's about it.  The weather is a little warm for January and we aren't buried in snow like the east coast.  No complaints here.  I'll see you next time.
