Kate – 8 months old
Kate had a wonderful first Christmas. Her Christmas book will note that we had a true South Dakota blizzard with 18″ of snow. Thank goodness all our family lives in town.
Mop Top Hat Pattern
The cute-as-can-be Mop Top Hat pattern by Bridget & Lucy is now available from Heirloom Creations. From the designers of the now famous Ruffled Joy and Ruffled Playdate skirts, comes the third, and most awaited, kid’s hat pattern.
Recently we offered a Mop Top Hat class at Heirloom Creations. Kim, the pattern designer offered kits and lots of embellishments from which everyone selected. Boy, did they have fun, and everyone went home with a finished hat!

Steve and I decided we would take Kate to her first Stampede hockey game this past Saturday. To help get into the hockey spirit, I made her a hockey themed Mop Top Hat. I substituted white Moda Snuggles (like Minkee) instead of knit for the head band and selected some hockey fabric for the top. It turned out so soft and warm I made one for myself too! Kate did great at the hockey game and we celebrated a 3-0 shutout against the Lincoln Stars.

Kate Snuggerud – 7 Months
As promised each month, I have uploaded a few pictures of Kate for her adoring fans. We like to sit up and eat solid foods these days. Crawling? Not really. We tolerate being on our tummy, but we are not a fan. Maybe next month. That means I can put up a Christmas tree this year and not have to call in secret service to protect it.
