The Hubs kept the bird feeder full and we had lots of guests during the day yesterday...
I worked on the Creekbed for awhile, got two more rows done....and then hats..I worked on hats...I have 5/17 done for my students...I figure I can get 2 or 3 done today...they are basic simple crochet beanies...I add flowers to the girls....but the boys have requested black and white and Yankee colors...
The two newest recipients came the past week and were given their Minion hats...
This is my last week of work before the holidays...and it's possible I won't have to go back until Jan 7. The BOE is voting on changing the calendar...right now we go back Jan 2, but we have Jan 6 off for 3 Kings Day..so we are back in school for 2 days and then off again for 3 days....there will be NOTHING done in those 2 days...it'll take a day to get them settled back into a school routine...and then they'll be all hyped up for a three day weekend and 3 Kings Day.....so at Monday's meeting they are voting on changing it...we just hope they take away the weird two days off we were given in May, instead of adding on to the end of the year...we have no a/c in our part of the building..and it gets melting in our seats hot in the classroom....
So now I am off to eat breakfast and work on some hats....wish me luck! At least this time it is not scarves..I did that one year, but I had many, many more children.....and some of them didn't get theirs until close to spring...
I also frogged my Bag Hat to use the yarn for student hats...I knew I'd never wear the hat..I might have worn the cowl....but decided I wanted the yarn...
Also frogged the cowl I started with unknown yarn from a student to use for the hats...

I'm impressed you have the patience to make so many hats! I'm a teacher too and I don't think I could make it.. I would grow bored and frustrated before I had finished half of them!
Oh cute babies!! The minion hats are lovely too!!
Are you a nice teacher or what? I'd say you need a raise so you can pay for the yarn! LOL! The minio hats are so cute but nothing compared to those 2 little babies!
Adorable Minion babies!
Frogging is also progress I think. I find it usually feels quite exhilirating!
OH MY GOD! You've done so much this year! It must feel incredible :)
Oh my gosh those newborns with hats are just so utterably adorable. I didn't see, read, remember what was before that ohhhhhhhhhh loveeeeeeee
Hope you get the days off. Here in Ireland we get the holidays this coming Friday and we are not back until Jan 6th. We used to have that day off for the Epiphany but schools now have to use that day out of their own days to take as there are becoming a lot more non-religious schools here whereas 10/15 years ago all schools were religious based.
Those babies are amazingly cute with their awesome minion hats on!! 50 birds is a lot! And their Lucky to have you and your husband to feed them. Good luck with your student hats, can't wait to see some of them!
