Birthday crafting cram

OK, so it's another crafty post. I do so much more knitting and crafting in the winter when the nights are long and chilly. we have a birthday party to go to this weekend and in true form I decide to make something just a day or two before. This is why I love big chunky wool and big knitting needles...I can make something cute in just a few hours! Holidays for kids always seem so full of plastic and such that I think it's nice to make something for them instead. Don't get me wrong, my kids have more that their fair share of plastic crap too, but I try to make what I can. So, with T-minus one day I pumped out a hat and ribbon wand! Oh yeah, I was feeling like super mom...until my little guy peed on the coffee table and brought me back to reality. I modified this pattern for the hat and the wand is just wooden dowel with fancy tape ( I bought for wrapping hula hoops) and an eyelet hook to attach the ribbon. Hope the special four year old likes them! I'd like to thank wooden duck, Jules the cat and little pink chair (which is both plastic and crappy) for helping me with the photo shoot!
