Hey everyone, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been awhile. If you haven't seen any pics of Henry elsewhere lately, you're going to be shocked at how much of a little boy he is now! This hat I made because one of Henry's favourite shows (not that he watches many or has a choice really) is Dinosaur Train. We watch Dinosaur train so often that the other day I was watching a show that referenced a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachycephalosaurus" target="_blank">pachycephalosaurus</a> and I knew what it was (without having to look it up). This hat is not a representation of a pachycephalosaurus though. It's a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauropoda" target="_blank">sauropod</a> for sure. Now that you're all caught up on your dinosaur facts, here is my (not so) little man, smiling as always:</div>

You can only just see it in these pics, but his shirt is also rocking a dinosaur theme. Coincidentally, I had already completed this hat when we saw this t-shirt at a store. So naturally we had to buy it for the photo-op.<br />
<br />
I'll try to be better about updating. Until then!<br />

Ok, ok, it's been a shamefully long time since I updated. But sometimes, life gets in the way of blogging. No matter, we're back. I managed to catch the busy little man just long enough to take a few pics and send him back into the wild. </div>

Yes, that's a Starbucks re-useable cup in his hand. He likes coffee mugs, what can I say, he comes by it honestly.<br />

Happy December everyone! I wanted to start by saying thank you to everyone for your kind words the past few weeks. Grandma was a great lady, I just felt like I should share with the world.</div>

So we haven't had a new hat in a while...Around here we are getting ready for Christmas, so we've started with the holiday themed hats. Here's a teaser:</div>

I have a lot of holiday hats planned this year, look for more updates than usual the next few weeks! Hopefully Henry is as willing to actually wear the hats as he was this week. Until then!Gillianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14473512230616393341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802406386801956188.post-6639445732537686692012-11-24T22:04:00.000-05:002012-11-24T22:04:59.378-05:00LessonsThis entry is not going to be about Henry, at least not directly. Although I suppose it will be about his history, his roots, the people and events that led to his existence. <br />
<br />
This week, my Grandmother passed away after a courageous few years living with a cancer that was slowly but surely bringing her closer to the end.<br />
<br />
I'd like to say a few things about the woman my grandmother was and the influence she had not only on my life, but the lives of my sisters, my cousins, my father (and my mother), my aunt and uncles and no doubt anyone else she came in contact with.<br />
<br />
I recently posted <a href="http://offbeatfamilies.com/2012/11/telling-daughters-im-beautiful" target="_blank">this</a> article on my facebook timeline. If you haven't read it, it is titled "I've started telling my daughters I'm Beautiful" and it is about one woman's journey to change the world her daughters will grow up in by teaching them what true beauty is, starting with how she sees herself. My grandmother wasn't an author. She never expressed to me in so many words how to see yourself as beautiful when faced with so many obstacles, yet that was the exact thing she taught me how to do. <br />
<br />
Years of sun worship had taken it's toll on my grandmother and skin cancer was ravaging her face. Many people would have looked in the mirror and been discouraged, disappointed or saddened by what my grandmother looked at every day, yet her confidence never waned. She never hesitated to go out, have fun and live life to the very end. She was always elegantly dressed, with her lipstick on, ready to take on the day Even after having a mastectomy to slow the breast cancer she was diagnosed with, Grandma would wake up, put on her fake boobs and come over for dinner. One of the last times I saw my grandmother well at her home, she told me she was thinking about taking ukelele lessons. My grandmother taught me that life is not about how you look, it's about how you choose to live it and that looks are not about what others see but how you see yourself.<br />
<br />
Grandma was married twice. My grandfather died when I was about 9 years old. We were living in Austria at the time. Grandma stayed in the home they had together and hung up many pieces of art. She quit smoking at the age of 63, cold turkey (even after starting smoking when she was only 13 years old). She lost her partner but she built a new life that was every bit as exciting (if not more) than her life with my grandfather. A few years later she met Pat. Pat was a wonderful man and he loved my grandmother very much. They were married not too long after they started dating. I remember when they dated, how happy grandma was and how cute they were together. Their wedding was beautiful and it was wonderful to be able to be there. Grandma believed in the afterlife and she must have been thinking about being reunited with granddad some day when she told me that she wasn't worried about loving two men and having two husbands waiting for her in the afterlife because surely that would not be a problem in Heaven. My grandmother taught me that the most important thing is love and that you should love often and without fear. <br />
<br />
When Pat died, Grandma moved into a small condo which she loved. One time she called my parents asking if we could bring one of her dining room chairs (which were stored at my parent's house) because when her friends come over they are one chair short. She had many friends in her building. She and her friends would leave easter candy on each other's doorsteps at Easter. It reminded me of a university residence, they partied and laughed and hung out together and looked out for each other. My grandmother taught me that you are never too old to make new friends.<br />
<br />
I can't tell the whole tale of my Grandmother's life. I am so lucky that I got to spend so much time with her. My childhood memories of her are all happy visits to her house, playing in the rec room drinking Dr. Pepper and eating chips out of margarine containers, visiting the trailer on rice lake where she would wear terrycloth dresses, getting a present even though it was my sister's birthday so I wouldn't feel left out. I didn't know it at the time, but my grandmother was teaching me how to raise patient, kind humans. <br />
<br />
My first memory, not just of my grandmother but of my life, is of my grandmother. I remember going to my Dad's convocation (well, someone told me that part), I remember sitting with her in the auditorium, she was wearing a family ring with birthstones for each of her children and I remember her describing each colour to me and why they were on the ring. It's not a life-shattering memory, but it in so many ways is an example of the woman Grandma was, patient, kind, loved, beautiful, elegant, loving. My grandmother taught me the value of these things. <br />
<br />
Grandma, we will all miss you so much and will never forget you. As long as we remember what you taught us, you'll always be with us. <br />

At long last, I have found some time to update everyone on Henry's Halloween. Last halloween was the peter pan costume that kind of started all of this hat-making and blogging. Since his costume was so cute last year, I figured you wouldn't let me get away with buying one for him this year, at least, not the whole costume. This year, Henry went as - da nananananananana da nanananananana Batman!</div>

Long time no see! I have gone back to work and the first few weeks were an adjustment, so no updates. But now that I'm getting back in the swing of things, I found I even had time for a new hat. <br />
<div>

This weekend, we took Henry to the pumpkin patch (which we did not do last year since he was still so small). Here is a picture:</div>

It's Henry wearing a Jack Skellington hat, playing with Jack Skellington! For those of you who may not know, I am a huge Tim Burton fan. I particularly enjoy Nightmare Before Christmas (I know, it's not directed by Tim Burton, but his hands were all over it). <br />
<br />
Here is a slightly better picture of the hat (Henry was a little uncooperative and more than a little cranky at the time of the photoshoot).<br />

Today I have an extra special post (and also potentially extra long), today is Henry's birthday! It's a little hard to believe that he's one already. He's turning into such a funny, sweet little man, he makes us laugh everyday. <br />
<br />
To start, I'd like to show you what's become of all those hats. I didn't count them, but I think there's around 50....<br />

It was a little hard to get this shot without falling off the chair, hence the un-centred shot:<br />

We're going to move the whole hat-banner up to Henry's room as a kind of border, for now they're on display.<br />

I can't really take too much credit for the awesome-ness of all these things. All I really did was cut up the vegetables. The rest is courtesy of my mother, two bakers, and my father's co-worker's wife.<br />

As some of you may know, next week is Henry's first birthday! I will have a special update for that next week. In the meantime, I've made him another monster hat, although this one is a little different than the others. It's more of an accessory for a monster, see for yourself:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm pretty sure if Henry could talk, he'd be saying "You did not seriously stick a monster in my hat":</div>

Monster pattern is courtesy of<a href="http://www.rebeccadanger.typepad.com/" target="_blank"> Rebecca Danger</a>. Once again, if you're a knitter, I highly recommend you check out some of her patterns. They're easy to follow (even for beginners) and oh so cute when finished!<br />

In case you've been wondering what will become of the hat blog, I think what I will do once I'm back to work (which is alarmingly soon) is cut down to one hat per month and we'll see where things go from there. I also have yet to come up with what to do with the many, many hats that are the fruit of this whole project. I will keep you updated when I decide what to do with them all. <br />

My little punk rocker decided he wanted a new hairdo this week. Generally he rocks a wee little mullet. He's got lots of hair in the back and it's just starting to grow in thicker on top. It's adorable, but he wanted to know what it might be like to have a different 'do:</div>

In other news, I updated the etsy store, so there are lots more hats in there now. As always if you live nearby, contact me if there's something you are interested in, I'll hook you up.<br />

It's super cute though! I promise, next week I'll make him an awesome hat to make up for my laziness this week. <div>

I've switched to shooting my pictures in RAW format which results in something similar to a negative (only digital obviously). This makes processing easier/nicer (not that I am altogether that skilled at processing, but you have to learn somewhere, right)? I think you can see a little difference in the picture quality. What do you think?</div>

If this doesn't sound familiar to you, perhaps you know the series better in it's television incarnation: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_blood">True Blood</a>. <br />
<br />
I've only really watched the first season in it's entirety, but I've read the novels up to book 7 so far and I must admit, I am totally team Eric, forget Bill, Sam, Alcide, or anyone else. Something about a giant Viking seems appealing to me. <br />
<br />
Of course this isn't my first time being interested in Vikings or Viking related things, I also enjoy dragons, celtic patterns, Thor. <br />
<br />
When I searched "baby boy hat" on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">pinterest</a> this week, I saw without a doubt the hat we would be doing this week. So in honour of Eric the (former) Viking:<br />

As you all know, the Olympics begin today with the opening ceremonies at 2pm. I am actually at the cottage as you read this, so I won't be able to watch them live. But no matter, I'm sure we'll catch all the highlights when we return. </div>

I was kind of torn on what hat to do this week. I wanted something Olympics related, but Summer Olympics just don't have many hats. </div>

Henry and I have been housesitting for my parents the past week. It's been a good time, the weather has been great and the dogs mostly well behaved. Being away from home presented some challenges when it came to hat making this week (such as no white glue in the house, what's up with that)? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided on a pirate hat for this week. While researching, I learned that the type of hat I was thinking of when I imagined what it was going to look like is called a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricorn" target="_blank">tricorn</a>. Who knew? Not to be confused with the bicorn hat made popular by Napoleon Bonaparte. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also came across a great <a href="http://homemadeplayforkids.blogspot.ca/2011/08/how-to-make-jack-sparrows-tricorn.html" target="_blank">tutorial</a> on how to create such a hat. At first, I thought it was going to be a lot of work, but upon closer investigation, it didn't actually look so bad. It involved some stretching of felt over a bowl, and or course the aforementioned white glue. I also found an awesome feather at Michaels and a red bandana to complete the look. Oh, and an eyepatch. </div>

Just in case you are having a bad day, I'm updating today to improve things for you! Actually, part of the reason for the early update is that I will have questionable internet service for about a week, so I thought I'd update now and not worry about it. <br />
<br />
This week's hat is quite unseasonal. I know it's Summer and about 100 degrees out, but I made an earflap hat. I thought of it and it was just too cute to pass up. Also, I needed a picture of Henry in a monster themed hat for another project and I wanted a more recent shot than the previous monster hats. <br />
<br />
Crazy to think when I last took a pic of Henry with a monster he could barely sit up. Now he's crawling everywhere and pulling himself up on just about everything he can reach! So many changes! But now that physical growth is slowing down, making winter-y hats in the summer isn't so questionable because it's possible they'll still fit in the fall. <br />
<br />
Alright, that's probably enough back story for today. Hat time!<br />
<br />
Henry was not in the mood for a photo-shoot today, which is kind of unusual for him. He's such a ham, he usually sees a camera and immediately does this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZqy_PZu47UdQAhh3b5inga-9-TQXAmqlDU2FnH_bHCtsS9BVY81zD42w3s2d8YLsEL_POUGNAkQuVkR6o2vW0uMXdKkEOsD5_D9Socy90AAHW4Dzx9hgT2XtDWO4-XqyEnrLEul-eF8SN/s1600/DSC_0083.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZqy_PZu47UdQAhh3b5inga-9-TQXAmqlDU2FnH_bHCtsS9BVY81zD42w3s2d8YLsEL_POUGNAkQuVkR6o2vW0uMXdKkEOsD5_D9Socy90AAHW4Dzx9hgT2XtDWO4-XqyEnrLEul-eF8SN/s640/DSC_0083.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
However, after this gem (which was the second shot I took) I got winners like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's cute and funny, but not exactly what I was hoping for. Or this:<br />

In case you are wondering, his face is still turned toward the camera here, he has pulled the earflap over his face. *facepalm* I did manage to get this picture (it's a bit blurry though):<br />

I hope you are all enjoying the heat we're having (if you are in southern Ontario anyway, maybe elsewhere too). Since we've been pretty much housebound today enjoying the air conditioning, I had enough time to finish this week's hat a bit early as well as stage our photo shoot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The idea for this week actually came from last week. I thought the beanie made Henry look a little like Waldo (of <a href="http://www.findwaldo.com/" target="_blank">Where's Waldo</a>? fame). I did a little research to see exactly what Waldo's hat really looks like, and here we are! I also happened to have the perfect shirt to complete the costume. I think I actually buy these red and white striped suits because I love the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091369/" target="_blank">Labyrinth</a>. I'm not going to tell you how awesome it is. In fact, I'm going to assume that since we're friends, you've seen it, so I won't even tell you what it's about or what it has to do with red and white striped baby suits.</div>

Initially I wanted to do this photoshoot on a real horse, but we couldn't get organized in time. I think the rocking horse turned out to be a nice compromise. I still can't believe how big he looks in these pictures! For anyone not up to speed, Henry just turned 9 months last week. He's growing up fast!</div>

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there, old and new! Sorry for the late update this week, we've been at my parents' house spending some time with my dad. Of course we managed to get a few pictures of Henry with his Dad in matching hats. I know we did a Jays hat once already, but this particular one happens to be the authentic on field ball cap. Henry still needs to grow into his a little bit, but Trevor's is a perfect fit! I've got to say, I much prefer the new Blue Jays logo.</div>

I believe we used to watch it in German while living in Austria in the 90's, but I could be mistaken. In any case,<i> </i>I found myself remembering this show, and that is how I came up with the hat this week. But before we get into the hat, I have to give you a short (and related) backstory. Sometime in the early 2000's, my family somehow came to be in possession of a lawn gnome. He's small and simple and is carrying a pig in his arms. We call him Georg (that's pronounced with a hard "G"). Sometimes, you go on a trip, and somehow Georg has ended up in your luggage. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This first picture is actually from Georg's second trip to Europe, here, he is enjoying some delicious Austrian cuisine:</div>

Now, I must tell you, Georg was travelling long before the Travelocity gnome. We're pretty sure they got their idea from us (though we're not sure how, when we find out who spilled the beans *shakes fist*). <br />
<br />
This week, I was thinking about David the Gnome from the tv show, then I remembered Georg the gnome, and an amazing photoshoot was born. The pictures look awesome this week thanks in part to my mother's beautiful garden, the contrast of the red hat against the lush green plants, and of course, Henry.<br />

Come see how good I look!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As some of you may have heard, a sequel to Anchorman is in the works. So when I was shopping online and saw the shirt featured in these pictures, I had a hat plan for the week. It took a few tries to get right and the moustache was a challenge. I tried to crochet one, but it was too tickly for the little man, so we used some eyeliner instead. I always find hats that look like hair hilarious, so I hope you enjoy:</div>

He's such a little ham, as soon as he sees the camera he starts smiling, so I couldn't get a serious Anchorman shot. Here's Henry, he's kind of a big deal:</div>

Greetings everyone! I hope you all enjoyed a lovely weekend. We spent our Victoria Day weekend at the cottage this year. It was of course, Henry's first time, but he was a little trooper and had a great time! </div>
