I really meant to blog more these past few days, but I’ve been tucked away in Kentucky for a family reunion. When I stay tucked away, this is no exaggeration. There was no internet, horrible cell phone service (at least for my network), and charming cabins filled with family and food right next to the lake. In other words, I got absolutely no work done and it was totally awesome. It’s so nice to be unplugged from technology while on vacation.
With that said, I apologize for not getting my little girl’s birthday party post up sooner. I’ll have on the blog this afternoon. Until then, here’s a glimpse of a another favorite (and homemade) present of my birthday girl: the Totoro hat.
Grandma was able to give this belated present to my gal while we were in Kentucky (using this free pattern on Hello Yarn), and Aunt Kelli lent her crochet skills constructing the eyes.
All this Totoro love has made my girl the happiest kid ever. Knitted by Grandma, help from Aunt Kelli, all photos by Brendan.

Have I mentioned she loves this hat? So much, she insisted on wearing it on airplane ride home.
So nice to see it on her, she is such a doll!! She amps up the cuteness of that hat exponentially. Glad she loves it. Now if we can just get together to get her bear back home.
Love the pictures. Mei is adorable with or without a hat on. I’m so glad she likes it. Gotta work on those ears, but I was in too big a hurry to get it done before heading for Kentucky.
Pricelessly cute. Its my favorite kind of gift. Thoughtful. Made with love. Something they will truly love.
