New hat blocks from England

I recently received 3 new hat blocks from England. They are the very latest styles and I am so anxious to start working with them.  They are a pill box, a large saucer and a medium saucer.  The large one is like Kate Middleton's "potato chip hat" To see the what the "potato chip hat" looks like see the July 16th post.

Yule Boutique

Assistance League's Yule Boutique was last Saturday, it was well attended and we all had a good time greeting many of our old friends and made some new ones.  Every one in the League contributed, lots of beautiful handmade items and lots of baked goods, many volunteered their time to greet, cashier, work the cookie table, manage the kitchen or just be on hand to help. I made 22 rag dolls, chocolate lip balm, soap and a lot of cookies.

Time to get busy on my new spring line.  I have 3 brand new hat forms from England and many colors of Sinamay, flowers, ribbon and fabrics. I am sure this year's creations are going to be my best yet.
