I made a hat. It was actually finished some time ago, but I decided that it wasn't complete until I added gold sparkly bird pins. (Do they look like birds? I'm not so sure, but I do enjoy a pink/gold colour combination.) I shaped the "birds" out of modelling clay, used liberal amounts of awesome glitter from Paper-ya, and hot-glued pin backings on them. The stitch pattern is Little Birds, and the hat pattern is my own (it fits more like a beret than a toque, which may not be clear in this photo). I'm still working on my rose cardigan, but after seeing this incredibly cute hedgehog scarf, well... there's an incredibly cute hedgehog scarf in my future.
In food updates, high tea at Last Crumb was excellent; I'm also excited to find out that Butter has high tea too - this will be an expedition for May. I'm thinking of heading to Patisserie Lebeau for traditional Belgian waffles, and to Miura Waffle Milk Bar for a waffle sandwich (!). In the last while, I've had two excellent home-made breakfast items that are worth sharing: granola (the best I've made yet), and baked oatmeal (a nice change of pace from my regular go-to baked oatmeal with apples and raisins). Lastly, the April cookie of the month!
