Was it just Monday that Dorothy called! But before I let her off the phone, I said to her 'Bet you can't guess what I'm doing'
She was kind and didn't say 'No - and I don't care'
She just sweetly said, 'No, I can't guess, but I'll bet it's something fun.'
And here it is Wednesday and I've finished! Making my red hat!
I received an early Christmas gift (and it was meant to be opened early) and inside the wrapping was a hat pattern. Now I've never made a hat.....well, I have the knit kind.....but never a hat hat...The pre-requisite to making the hat was that the maker had to be an intermediate level milliner.
I was thinking about my milliner talents....all the time gathering my fabric, lining, interfacing, scissors, tape measure. By this time I knew I had the know-how: I can machine and hand sew. I know what the straight of grain is. I know all about scissors and rulers and needles and thread. I'm surely an intermediate level milliner.

Imagine and dream and don't let little things slow you down!
