Anyway, she was kind enough to feed me some breakfast and then boom. She says--"Lets get this day started, Missy." Day started! Already? She lays me on the bed, pulls out this camera, and here we go. The craziness. She (and that guy who lives in this house) says that I need to work for a living. So here I am, posing away for these zillion camera clicks.
Wow. The first picture is of a gift for ME! Cupcake hat. Thank you, Mazhalai! I am loving it. I was told that mom called me Cupcake before I showed up. I love the bright red pompom. Thanks again and kisses to little Neyan.
Orange hat. Mom made it--not for me, but for someone else who is going to have a baby soon. Who? She does not know yet. I told you--she is kinda messed up in her head. She put some cute buttons on the hat--it has some great attitude...just like me.
Pattern: Single Crochet Beanie
Yarn: Lion Brand's Cotton Ease
Size: 3-6 months
Finally. Mom made this hat for ME. About time. It goes with this sweater of mine. The yarn is from the leftover stuff from several projects. It is still kinda too big for me--I am told it will fit me in the coming Fall.
Pattern: Single Crochet Beanie
Yarn: Rowan Purelife Organic Cotton DK
Hook: 3.5mm
Size: 12 months
I dont know what I am doing in the following project pictures, but whatever. This is the Beanie and Scarf mom made for herself a few weeks before I was born. She said that she was sick of making baby projects (cheeky or what). She whipped it out in a couple of days and has been wearing it ever since. She boasts to Dad that people she meets love her scarf. Dad told me--they better...it cost $$$ to make it. Some investment. Mom calls it her "Pre-Baby, Indulgence Scarf".
Pattern for Beanie: Single Crochet Beanie
Yarn: Cascade Yarns 220 Wool (0.5 skeins in 7803); Noro Silk Garden (301) for edging
Hook: 5mm
Size: Woman's
Patten for Scarf: Shell Stitch pattern from Stitch N' Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden (4 skeins in 301)
Hook: 5mm

Marvelous colors in the scarf! I tell you what, Anya, your mom has good taste! And talent out the wazoo!
The hats are super cute! All of them.
Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! And so are the hats and scarf! :D I love that buttony hat your mummy has made Anya!!! :)
everything is sooo pretty!
She is a very top-model!!! She wear her little hats with natural elegance :) And what about the scarf? Wonderful, I love the colurs!!!
How cute is this! I love it. The hats are incredible, as is the model. And the scarf, WOW.
Anya, you make a lovely model! hugs to u! and your mommy is soooo creative! i love the scarf; so what if it cost $$$ - she deserves it!
Anya, you write very well and you have a great sense of humor. Your mom, messed up in the head though she is, has great talent and style. Please tell her to keep making those cute hats and scarves!
That was such a great blog post complete in Anya-voice. She's such a cutie and of course Mommy is allowed some non-motherly mani-pedi indulgence:)
That Cupcake hat is so delicious looking! And then comes the cute baby who is so on top of things, already able to use a computer! Then to top it all off, that beautiful scarf. WOW. I love it.
Hi Anya, hey, I love your reporting style and the elan with which you model!! Yummmmmy styles, both, I must say!!
However muddled Mommy may be up there, we must agree, she has a good sense of colour and very neat work! I know, I know, you wouldn't have taken up this modelling assignment, had it been pedestrian stuff!!
Smart on part of Aunty Mazhalai to have picked up j-u-s-t the right pattern and made a cute hat for you! And Mommy's gorgeous scarf.... you know these indulgences are ok, since she whips up such beauties!!
Hi Anya, this is Ninad. My mom is no different from yours. She starts a project only to frog it after a couple of rows and start another one. This has been going on for ages now. It's like she is practising casting on or something.
Go easy on your mommy. A mother messed up in the head and who has to be up all night is not easy to handle. Ask me how I know. Let her indulge in whatever way she wants. It makes it a wee bit easier to handle her. Try giving her a big toothless grin whenever she is grumpy. It helps. Sometimes.
Hey, isn't it time we had our own group on Ravelry? How about 'Kids of muddled moms'?
Hi Anya! Your mommy is one heckuva master with yarn, I say. I love those beautiful hats, and that yummy scarf!
Anya, you are such a cutie, and you are so good at this typuing business! Go you!
Tell mum her creations are beautiful. I especially love the noro scarf at the end!
Mmm!!! LOVE that scarf!
I wonder whose lucky baby will be receiving that orange hat...
beautiful- both Anya, her hats and scarf! :)
Lovely blog post...

As always I just love everything. And the pictures brightened my day. The cupcake picture will keep a smile on my face.
I'm sure you'll realize a nice and colourfull cacti!!!
Funny post today! Loved the part about how Anya has to work now. :)
Wow...I love love love the scarf...and u made it in 2 days? Let me fall at your feet Rima :) Baby Anya is becoming more prettier by the day. She is quite a sport to model for the hundred beautiful things you make for her :) No pics of your manicure??? You know your first indulgence after the baby and all ;)
Aaaww Anya is soooooooooooo cute!You did an excellent job modeling little darling :-)And all those hats are adorable on you!
Mizpah,
Li
wonderful hats and scarf!
great photos Anya.
I love Anya's voice on the blog, she's very funny and pretty freakin adorable model. All your knits/crochets are amazing, but Noro scarf is a real standout.
Nice post G! I bet that scarf made a nice break from 1) baby stuff and 2) winter! I'm knitting up a hat in the yarn I won in your Mama's give away. Thank you again G Mom!
Wow! Time is flying by! Anya is going to be running around before you know it! Lovely scarf and hats!!
I love the definition of your stitches, and your pictures. Especially when the babe is in them!
Don't you just LOVE that Single Crochet Beanie pattern from firebrunette? It's so quick, and simple. And your scarf! Beatiful, so cheery!
wow! You have been busy lately! I love the beanie with the flower on it.
Great to see that you're putting Anya to work so soon...in a few months, she should be able to do her own laundry, right? :)
Oh what a cutie! Love the snap where Anya is stretching....awesome. Love the cap...such a cute one!
Love the orange hat, and I think Mom totally deserves that scarf! It's beautiful! You keep being good for mommy so she has time to keep crocheting more cool stuff!
Anya - cute blog post. I think I'd like to see more of your posts..LOL. Very beautiful scarf, ask mommy to take care of it so that you can inherit it as your heirloom.
mmmmm. I think that hat is going to fit in the summer. It doesn't look so big now and those heads grow HUGE! Perhaps it will be a nice sun hat.
oh my goodness she is so adorable.
Gorgeous scarf and hat too! Dont worry Anya, you will be able things like that when you get older and your mum makes them for you or she teaches you herself. I really like the crocheted baby hats too!
