Very attractive hat, darling!  Wherever did you get it?  ;)

Hey, did Anne Marie get a chance to post her "Hat by Steve" picture yet?

Thank you gals! Teaching kindergarten doesn't leave me much time to sit in front of the mirror and stress, I think keeping busy really helps!
Hugs to all.

Keeping busy is good for everyone - knitting works, if you are looking for something to do.  ;)

Thanks for posting a picture, Michelle. With two recent and two older hats out there without pictures posted, I was beginning to wonder. (Wait and see to find out who besides Anne Marie). Then I see your picture and post, and remember why I am doing this - it always brightens my day.  :)

Hmmm.  Now I'm wondering who the other 3 are  ???

I thought I'd be clever and check out your website, but you were more clever than I was.

Michelle was the last picture  :D

Ah Steve, I feel so guilty about not taking a picture of me wearing your hat and posting it!!  Good old Catholic guilt......even as I approach 50 I can't seem to shake it  ;)  I promise I will get my youngest son to to post a picture soon.  Actually I'm using his lap top because the family desk top isn't running at full speed.  Too much crap on it I'm sure.

I can't wait to sport my lovely purple hat you made me  ;D

Anne Marie, you are forgiven.  ;D

I hope your head pain clears up, and you actually feel like posting a picture. That would be even sweeter. :)
