johnny depp has been named hat person of the year and i must admit, he really does look a dish in a hat – not that he doesn’t always look nice, but a hat certainly adds a little something

and today is also my personal day of the hat, having finished two hatty projects – you see, i am a hat person myself …

first, i finished a bell hop cap prototype for a costume we need for a play in june – it didn’t turn out quite the way i wanted it – it looks a little funny and actually quite silly – but it’s a start and i’m still working out the details for the actual thing

but the second project looks a treat – i finally managed to make myself a panda hat – i’ve coveted it for ever and couldn’t find it anywhere, just see it on people all over the place – and now i made my very own and i took it for an outing for the first time today – i got several compliments and envious looks – it totally makes me feel very happy and glowing and i don’t want to take it off for even a second
