Creampuff Receives May Flowers to Counter April Showers

I'm getting to that delicious point of tired - that point where you've been getting up too early, working for several hours on something you really like and then going to bed too late for days and days - where you start to feel nauseated all the time and your hair looks like Buckwheat because you had your "morning shower" at 11 p.m. and then slept on it and everything seems either TRAGIC or HILARIOUS. Hahahaaa - hilarious!! All caps is HILARIOUS!!

Fortunately for you, I'm just stopping by here to share some Monday morning cute-osity and report that this hat:

has found its way to this extremely innocent baby:

"What seems to be the problem, officer? No, that's not my weed. No, it's not."

"Hee hee - it WAS my weed! Lucky I kept the rest under my hat...Where are those Cheetos?"

Oh, the cuteness of this baby! The chubby cheeks! The mischievous expression! This jumper makes her head look like the topmost flower of a stalk of beautiful flowers. I would like a shirt like that and on the back, I would write "I'm a delicate flower - you asshole" because I always thought that would be funny.

Baby Elsa's mom, a friend of Katr's, sent these pics in accompanied by the nicest note ever:

Here are a few pics of Elsa in the hat. … the most beautiful hat in the world …. I think Rosemary could go into business selling these hats. I’ve had so many compliments on how adorable the hat is … in fact people comment on the hat and not the baby…. But I’m ok with that, we don’t want her getting a big head!

I was so flattered and flushed with her compliments that I briefly considered following her suggestion and going into the baby hat business. I love knitting! And babies, from afar. But then Katr pointed out that it takes around eight hours to knit these things and I can only knit for about four hours at a time and the yarn ain't free and that at even a fraction of my going rate, I would have to charge around $200 for each hat to keep the dog in her fancy designer kibble.

So people who are actually in the hat business? You can stop looking over your shoulder and relax.

I wish you all a most fabulous week!

Somebody is going to have their hands full with that boy! You can totally see it in his (beautiful) eyes.

Syd, uh... "Elsa" is not her Star Trek name.

I must be hallucinating...I keep seeing little clockwork gnomes walking in a spiral around and around the ridges on that hat.

[Mander]

That baby and her cheeks are so cute that it hurts! Love the hat with it's cheery colors. Very spring-ish!

[Heather]

Oh my goodness the cuteness of the kiddo with the chubby cheeks and the hat with the swirls is awesome. I totally vote you go into business, impracticality be damned.

[red mojo]

Very very cute! I hate knitting talk, but I have to admit, that hat IS killer! Nice job! Elsa is cute with or without the hat I'm sure, but I think I'm liking her with the hat.

I'm working too hard. You know how I know? My thoughts in reaction to your post and previous comments were 1) to actually go back and look at the picture of the hat to see if you'd really knitted gnomes in it, 2) to realize that most people only eat cheetoes when high, and I've started eating them for dinner and 3) to think about propsing proposing a business venture with you to knit baby hats, thinking that I could actually MARKET $200 babywear. Sigh.

Anyway. Nice work!

[kimananda]

That is a very cute hat. The kid's not bad either, but it's all about the hat.

[jacks]

[greymatters]

LOVE the hat! And it looks like the kiddo does, too. She's stylin'!

[(Not-so) Cynical Knitting Gal]

Not only is the model -- waaaay beyond precious -- but the hat is really something fab!

[zoom]

I seriously love that hat, and I'm behind on my knitting by three babies. Would you be so kind as to point me in the general direction of that pattern?

[Whozat]

I love that hat!

Can we order up one, for late November, in colors to be determined in a couple of months?

Seizuresalad - What have YOU been smoking, young lady?

Mander - I know, I just want to pinch them and make a noise! Such a cutie.

Heather - Can I take that as legal advice?

red mojo - You're right - hats make all babies cuter.

wenders - Hahahaaaaa! You ARE working too hard. Take a break, woman!

kimananda - Thank you! You might need to email me your address in Denmark.

Jacks - What are you trying to tell me??

GM - Hahaa! I think she's just happy the cops didn't find her stash.

(Not So) Cynical Knitting Gal - Now I'M getting a big head. Thank you!

Zoom - I've emailed you my rambling response. But the short answer is that it's a tweaked version of the Stitch n' Bitch umbilical cord hat. There! Now you know my secret!

Whozat - Absolutely! Keep me posted! And for you, I'll even offer a 50% discount.
