a beret for papaya

I came across these lovely patterns by Sirdar. A booklet of 11 designs for women and girls. Which in my case fits me perfectly. I had been wanting to knit a beret for Papaya. She has a cute fuschia wool coat that is will look positively great with.

Since I am almost done, I wanted to try it on for size. Partly because the last few nights have been busy doing bookwork.

She is loving the result! How do you like all my unfinished ends?

She just lost another tooth today and as cute as that smile may be, I am a little worried that it will need straightening at some point. The new teeth just aren't fitting into the holes the old teeth left.

Oh well! Worries for another day. Right now I have one happy little girl who will also find a loonie under her pillow in the morning.

tooth fairy story

when one of our children lose a tooth

everyone in our family knows the tooth goes under the pillow
in the morning there is a bit of fairy dust and a loonie

(that is $1 for any americans)

the tooth fairy is just expected

so when our daughter woke up on wednesday morning

i was in the shower and the important message was

"the tooth fairy didn't come"

"what? impossible?" panic, guilt, ah!

luckily, the big cheese and i can work under pressure

all was saved, see below

apparently when she runs late, her fees double

and papaya got a toonie ($2)
