Since all the Christmas gifts are wrapped, leaving me with not much to do, I decided to tackle a little last minute sewing project: a hat! I first saw the hat pattern on the
Martha Stewart web page but since it was designed for kids I did not give it much attention. However, when I came across that
picture from
Little birds I decided to give it a shot. In my creative vision (um...whatever!), I saw a tweed (not felted wool) hat, doubled with soft flannel and topped with a big Icelandic wool pompom. I like the final result and it will look very cute with my new winter coat.
One of the great thing about living in a small loft is that my husband is an integral part of my crafty projects ... like a “silent” business partner! His opinion (he suggested the double-braids on my hat), his words of encouragement and his tolerance (I'm a messy lady!) mean the world to me. While I cut, sew, glue or trim, he is quietly playing games on the computer but I know that if I need him he is always there for me. The zombies, aliens, murderers, etc. will have to wait a little!!!
Note to husband: Thank you so much. I love you!

Your hat looks great! And thanks for finding me in my new digs (and updating your link!).
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.
I LOVE your hat! je suis vachement jalouse !
My Sweetie, too, will play computer games while I craft and my mess sneaks ever closer - I have a studio, and a sewing room, but projects still creep into the living room.
This hat is so adorable! Love your profile, too. :)
