Flower Power and Fur Shrugs...

Remember when I told you that I'm quite certain my soon-to-be-born granddaughter will be a little fashionista? Here is an example of the clothing awaiting her arrival. Every woman should have one of these -- no matter her age. A chocolate brown "fur" shrug. I need one -- only bigger. Lots bigger.


In addition to this chocolate brown "fur" shrug, she has a pint-size white "fur" hanging in her closet as well. Is it wrong to have 'closet envy' of your granddaughter? Practically speaking, I do believe it is important to be prepared for all eventualities and social functions. The above photo is just one indication why "Miss O" will need a variety of hats and headbands in her arsenal. Being the grandmother that I am, I aim to please. I started by creating this deep raspberry colored hat...


I then went on to make a few more -- to match the other colors in her wardrobe...




These flowers aren't just for the wee ones in your life. They would be just as cute on an adult sized hat. Go here to find out how to make these hats and acquire my pattern (it's free!) for the full, luscious flower like the turquoise one below...


I'm thinking about our veteran's today -- those who have served our country and those presently serving.
My thanks to them all.

Have a great day!
