Easter questions and a free hat pattern

Well, Lent is over and I never had a chance to go to a fish fry. Oh drat! But the Easter bunny surely did come. With questions, that is. Funny how a 10 year old and a 6 year old do not question the actual existence of an Easter bunny, but will of the occasion. Why do we celebrate Easter? Well, darlings, Jesus rose from the dead. But why the bunnies? Well, sweet ones, the over indulgence in all things bunnies and baskets is us celebrating Spring.



Even though Spring seems to have come and gone and now winter is upon us again. Darn you, Minnesota.



But I am mighty glad Easter is over and the candy is all gone. I think I gained 10 pounds.



I guess it hadn't helped that I sat on my bum all day, watching episodes of Mad Men. 3 Seasons in less than 2 weeks. And now I'm on the fourth season. Don Draper, you are a bad, bad man!!! But super duper hot!!! If Betty knit, I would feel like I was her.



Alas, I've come up with a new hat pattern. You can have it for free. I think I need to redeem myself with my bear hat. Can you believe there's been close to 300 downloads and only 5 projects connected with it AND an average of 3 stars? What's the dealio? That really got me down.

For the yarn along, ...yes! I am still reading Rules of Civility. I'm getting bored with it. Sorry Vanessa. Mad Men is oh so much more than reading at the moment. Am I bad?
