Mad whirl of activity

This weekend was exhausting. This last weekend, I mean.
I know most people spent theirs probably sleeping, or resting, but because I am cursed with itchy fingers, I spent mine...*deep breath*...folding paper, baking cupcakes and cookies, making a sunhat and working on my never ending tablecloth!
Yes, I did do all that, and in one weekend too!
Here, see?

I got the hat pattern off Miss Knittles Knits facebook page (do go there if you'd like to try it yourself, just search for Miss Knittles as it would be unethical for me to reproduce this brilliant lady's pattern here), and tweaked it a bit to my own tastes. This is the hat about 15 minutes after I started...sitting in my lap...

One hour in, and things were starting to shape up nicely...


And, finally (modelled by my unwilling sister) the finished beauty 3 lazy hours later...


And then I had cupcakes to make ...


My sis had some manky old muesli to throw out, so I thought it would be a good idea to make oatmeal cookies...

And that's how I spent my Sunday! I'll be sharing the cupcake and cookie recipe next, so please check back for more...

P.S. Don't hold your breath on the unveiling of the tablecloth thing...it's made with black twine. Why? Just 'cos I'm sadistic like that!
