Caps

My dear, dear, dearest friend, Tracy, sent me this flipping adorable hat, with a matching scarf (and two sweet tea cups, too!) and I love it all.

This hat is perfect...it's soft, it's the perfect size, and I love the colors. About the size: I wear my hair up in a clip or barrette nearly all the time. This hat comfortably fits over the hair and the clip! My hair is up in this photo, in fact, and I think we can all agree that the hat still fits perfectly!

Did I mention she made them? Oh, yes! She says she's not crafty, but she used a knitting loom and....ta-dah! I was so touched, truly, to have this most special handmade from somebody who means the world to me. Swoon!

This hat, in fact, was the inspiration for an entire wardrobe of hats that I made for Mimi. It's not going so well, to be honest, but she's started radiation treatments (my fingers are still crossed, I don't care what anybody says...it's my nature) and I wanted her to have choices. Would she be feeling cozy? Sassy? What will she wear? Will she have a hat to match it? I wanted her to have several hats to pick from so that she has a better chance of finding that hat, the one that she loves so much that she doesn't want to take it off. Like my new hat....that I love so much I've even been wearing it to bed!
