Here are a couple of my little thankful moments from this past week...
Sophie turned 9 on Sunday and we celebrated with cake, of course!

She loves stuffed hedgehog toys, and I found a new one that not only squeaks, but it grunts and rattles too. Hat trick! (too bad her Mama forgot to snap some playtime photos)

And, a quick video clip for good measure...
I'm thankful for finding a little time to spend with my knitting needles. While I have many projects in progress, I haven't put very many in the finished pile for 2015. Instant gratification projects always help and the latest is a quick knit baby hat for a special little man.

This was Penny's first hand knit modeling gig, and while the weather didn't allow for outside shots, I think she did pretty darn good.

This was attempt #3 on Baby B's hat. I started two different patterns prior to finding one I thought looked great with this colorway. My patient, in-progress model was Teutul...
Pattern choice #1 just wasn't cooperating...

Pattern choice #2 didn't get photographed, but here's the final choice in progress...

And just because he's such a good sport, here's another shot of Tut in Penny's trapper hat...

Lovely cake!
What a wonderful hat model! Me, I'm thankful for my little heater in my office today. It's much too cold and wet out for humans, dogs OR cats. A cozy space is just what the doctor ordered. Thanks for the reminder to step back from hectic life and be glad for what I have.
