Today marks two days of being cooped up inside fighting off the remains of a stomach flu bug that's found it's way into our home. I am victim #3 this week. What a miserable feeling! On the up side I'm getting my strength back thanks to good ole yummy chicken noodle soup and crackers. I'm hoping to be able to pick up my crochet hooks this evening to finish a much anticipated owl hat for my lil guy. He keeps walking over and picking it up to try it on his head. I just did not have the energy to attempt it last night. According to my better half I slept through two documentaries he played on Netflix. I had no idea I had closed my eyes so long.
This is the progress so far of lil guys owl hat. Face and earless still, but hope to get it all cutie patootie soon! The picture doesn't show the brightness of the green and red colors to match his winter coat. While there are numerous wonderful free patterns online I tend to combine the finer points of them to create my own version. Once finished I will post a better picture.
On a better note, prior to becoming a victim of flu virus, I have accomplished my dreaded task of cleaning the oven. So much scrubbing involved that I accidentally removed a few decals around the burner knobs....opps! After consulting my dear ole dad, the panic left as he reassured me I could look up my model oven on the web to order new decals. I have not yet gotten a chance to look, but I'm keeping positive he's right.
So why all the cleaning? I have planned a bake-a-thon to appease my little ones and hubby. The weather has gotten so miserably cold here (-20 with the wind chill last night) I thought some homemade cookies and muffins would warm us up a few degrees. Some time ago I found a wonderful from scratch chocolate chocolate-chip muffin recipe online. They turned out so rich, moist and chocolatey! They were an instant hit!
Recipe Here . Next were on to the old faithful Oatmeal Raisin cookies. Sounds so delicious with a glass of cold milk!
Naptime is calling to lil guy and a nice hot cup of coffee for me.
