handmade hats

Reason number 536 why I love my kids' school:
They teach them to make hats! Irie's is crocheted, and Liam was able to use his favorite new skill: The blanket stitch. He really does enjoy sewing things with blanket stitch. We are all now proud owners of several felt hanging wallet necklaces, complete with blanket stitched sides. And he is working on a pair of elf slippers too--which I'll post when he's done.

And I just love the thrill they get from bringing home these amazing creations. So much better than a completed homework packet. That's what I think, anyway.
