Rosy Heart Hat for Eliza

Back sometime ago, 

I think in February,

I crocheted this 

Rosy Heart

to put on a hat.

You may remember me showing it in a previous post

along with the beginning of the hat.

The free pattern for the knitted hat can be found

here.

Well.....

Life got busy and the whole project found its way 

to the bottom of my work basket.

Yesterday it surfaced looking like the last picture 

and I decided it was TIME to FINISH IT!

The hat is an I Love You Gift for Eliza

who lives across the street from me.

Little Miss Eliza was born the day before my birthday.

This June she will turn 3 and I will turn 50.

We have been joined at the heart since the moment 

we met when she was only 2 days old.

On the day Eliza celebrated her second birthday

this is what I saw when I looked out my front window.

Who could not fall in love with such sweetness?!

She almost never actually walks.

Instead she ...

hops,

spins,

dances

&

twirls.

And oftentimes she's doing it all in a pink tutu :-)
