Strolling with Sheli-bean

Sheli-bean will be 12 years old in June. He’s still my Babyboy though. Unfortunately, time is starting to wear on him. He has several health problems which has stopped us from taking him for walks of any distance.
Sheli-bean enjoys going to the garden with us. He’ll walk halfway to the garden, and we carry him the rest of the way. When we go back home, we carry him all the way back.
However, time is starting to wear on us as well. Sadly, Sheli is afraid of our small garden wagon and won’t ride it. It’s getting more difficult to tote him and gardening supplies.
Last week, it occurred to me that there’s all sorts of cool stuff made for pets now, so why not a stroller.
I was ever so happy to find one that is made the way we think is best for Sheli-bean. I was worried how he would take to it. But my worries were short lived when I put him in it, he sat right down. We took him outside and he seemed to enjoy riding in the stroller.
When we came back in, he didn’t want to be taken out of the stroller. He laid down and took a nice long nap. I guess enjoying the great outdoors without it affecting his health was a relief to his little spirit.

I hope you all have a pleasant rest of the week.


Finished My Hat

I’m happy to tell you that I’ve finished making my hat. It turned out quite well, even though I made the pattern myself.
Unfortunately, the hat is way too small for my head. I realized before I added the lining that it’s way too small. It’s definitely kid sized. I totally underestimated how big my head is. 😀
My husband suggested that I should have stopped this one and tossed it and started a different bigger one.
I told him that, I would have, but I’d have to make a bigger pattern and also, I was determined to finish this one, since I promised I’d post about it here on my blog, regardless of how it turned out.
Other than being way too small, my only other issue with it, is the inside lining isn’t as neat as I’d like it to be.
I may or may not make another hat. I’d like too. I enjoyed making this one very much. However, if I do, I might go ahead and order a pattern instead of making a pattern, or not, I never know about me, until the inspiration hits. 😊

Wishing you all a weekend of sunshine and smiles.
