Flower Hat

Here it is. Finally.

In progress, before adding the petals:


I wanted to try it on Gracie, because I made it for a 4.5 year old, but she had a little fit, so I tried it on Maddie. Maddie does have a big noggin for a 2 year old, lol, but there was still some room.

I have to say, she said, "I'll try it on Mama. It won't mess my hair. It'll be okay."





Now the only question is will K even be able to wear it. It is cotton, so it's not super hot, but if Winter is over in Texas, this may end up at the auction.

I am trying to figure out a way to sew the ears on the other hat. I'm having some difficulty with it. I'll work on it tonight, and hopefully have pics tomorrow.

EDITED TO ADD PICS. Gracie decided to be agreeable.

Gracie's got a smallish to average size head for a 4.5 year old. She always ran in the 50%. It's a little big on her. And it shrunk a bit in the wash.

Space for Rent

Ack! I haven't been keeping up here at ALL! I stink!

Well, I'm about ready to post pictures of the bear hat and daisy hat I made for Kalina & Keoni. (It's about time, right? Ugh.) After that, I'll be starting some new projects. I was supposed to make other hats for people, but that didn't work out. I guess now would be the time to ask if they still wanted them.

I know here, we could use hats for a little while longer, but maybe those folks back East/Midwest could use them longer? I have no idea, actually. I suppose I should ask.

Then, I'll be starting stuff for the yearly Auction in April, and I just bought a book called "Charmed Knits" (stuff inspired by Harry Potter)... I'm so excited to start something from that book!!

So, anyway, if anyone's reading this... more to come, soon!
