Nice Hat
So, in my last post I promised to tell you about a great hat we saw Saturday. That’s it, there on the left. Click for a larger view. At first I thought the flowers were crocheted, but they look like “I cords” close up.
The gal wearing the hat was too cute. She and her daughter had taken a trip to Homer and while there had heard of “the” hat. Supposedly, she was told, only folks who live in Homer (our very own berg full of granola nuts - or so they say) would be brave enough to wear such a hat. AND, her daughter moaned in embarrassment, MOOOOOOOOOOOM, you CAN’T wear THAT color. Heh, can we all say CHALLANGE???
I thought so.
She even agreed to model the hat for us. Says she loves it. Turns out that she is an elementary school teacher hereabouts. “They can always find me on the playground,” she told us.
Sadly, I’ve already forgotten her name. I apologize in advance - I’ve invited her to come by to see herself here - I am getting older and I forget names and such if I don’t write them down. (This is my not so sneaky way to remind my family that my birthday is coming up quickly - hahahaha) Serioulsy, I did forget the last name - and I think that her first name was Mary. If the owner of this great hat DOES visit here, please sign the comments and let us all know your first name, okay? And, thanks so much for letting me take your picture AND for giving me permission to post it here.
Yes, you can ask my daughters - I do talk to strangers. After all, a stranger is only a friend you haven’t met yet. 
Oh, and if you are looking for a felted project or two (or ten) check out this link my friend sent me: Free Felted Projects. Lots and lots of links to felted bags. Surely there is ONE in there you would love to work on for your end of the winter project?
You all have a lovely week!

I had FORGOTTEN about this site!! Sorry barbara! i thought a lurker out there popped in and said hi! LOLOLOLOL My daughter gave me some coopersworth wool that she had spun, plyed and balled herself, so Now I have to get busy and crochet more hats. If I could post pictures I would post a pic of the really cool hat I made. Looks like a 1920’s beret with a rose on it!

Hey MaryLou! Thanks for stopping by. I’d love to see a pic of the hat you made.
I’m doing very well - healing up nicely and beginning to not feel quite so tired any more. That’s great!

I don’t think I’ve ever heard Homer described more perfectly, and it’s so true, I wouldn’t even think twice if I saw someone in that hat walking down the street…
