If - Hats...Immediately made me think of my favorite group - The Red Hatters...Im sure you have seen these awesome ladies..In their 70s and up, all wearing red hats and purple attire - usually in groups having a great time...they are an awesome inspiration to anyone. And my friend and I are desperate to be apart of their society, but we are too young..blah. Hahaha - so here's to them and their 'Who cares about getting old' hatittude that I admire so much.
I made this cut-out for my wedding, cause i LOVE hayrides and pumpkin picking and these things are always a staple at those places..it was a lot of fun to make, well for me the hard part was figuring out how to make it stand straight but a jigsaw purchase and a bunch of 4" nails later - i was good to go! haha
Anyway - here are some progress pics! Everyone enjoyed it at the wedding and when we brought it back home we put it in our front yard for the kids to take pics with on halloween, fun for all! Yeay!
