Sick of being Sick!

It\'s around 2:30am... And I\'ve been up with two sick children... One is 7 and groans like he\'s been shot and is dying - though he only has a temp... And then my little baby (who, by the way is not really a baby at 2) who is covered in spots... Don\'t ask coz I don\'t know... The doctor we visited today said it is a tummy virus as she has loose poos but I\'m not so sure I believe that... So later today (when the sun has actually risen and people are alive) Ill take her to another doctor for a second opinion... They aren\'t itchy as far as I can tell though she is complaining about her eyes... Poor duckling is covered! Especially her face!!
I was sick not long ago with an ear infection... I\'m over being sick... I\'m over having to deal with it all!! I mean it summer for heavens sake!! Shouldn\'t you get sicker in winter?!! All I can say is that I pray I get rest tomorrow and get off kitchen duty!! ;D

Aiming too High...

Sup y'all?! 

HOLD THAT THOUGHT - Gotta change a dirty nappy... Hum a song for a moment would you?

S'all good... DONE!

Back too it...

Last month (that being October) I thought to myself, 

"Christmas is coming up! So why don't I make some gifts?" 

Harmless thought you say?? WHATEVER! I have 20 nieces and nephews! So after that realization I says to myself, "NO WAY!" Then the Hubbs suggests to take all of the children to the movies as their gifts! BRILLIANT me thinks!! But then it occurred to me that there will be three (from my side of the family - the rest are from Hubbs side) that live far away - as in Melbourne far away. So i thought, "I'll just make them a beanie to keep em cozy in winter. And that can be there present..."

Surely learning and making three crochet a beanies all by Christmas shouldnt be too difficult - I being pro at teaching myself how to make things and all... 

This is what I wanted to make...

It started off good... But that is where all the goodness stopped...

Sigh... I really need to stop tooting my own horn when I cant back it up... 

I've been teaching myself from YouTube videos for over a week now... So far I've made an adult side beanie and a newborns beanie 

It doesn't even fit my two yr old... The top left corner is the adult one half done...

But cant seem to get a grasp on the toddler sized one... not only that, I seem to have done something wrong in the one that I'm working on now and its puckering as it were and wont sit right... Not to mention my darling daughter (3 1/2yrs) thought she'd be sooooo helpful by cutting my yarn off at the last stitch I did, successively undoing much of my work... 

sigh...

I dont think that I'll get there by Christmas... I'm feeling rather discouraged...  :(
