My Gal Friday
Hooray. Today was Playdate Friday. It's kind of my equivalent of a SNOW day. I totally play hooky from work and hang out at my gal Regina's house (which, by the way, is a crafter's paradise). 
Today we played with Shrink plastic (remember Shrinky Dink),experimenting with possible jewelry or stitch marker ideas, and then we tried sewing some yarn pouches. Those were kind of tricky and actually require the use of Pi (C = pi*r^2). I'll post pictures of these projects once we've ironed out the kinks.
Regina was also kind enough to model my finished felted hat. It's the one I shared earlier in the month as my giant felted head cover. But guess what? It actually became a rather stylish chappeau. I used a great hat block that I ordered from HatShapers, thanks to a tip from Marcia at Spinnerella's Attic. They have tons of cool shapes. I think I'm going to try their baseball cap next. It was just a great, fun, totally selfish day - much needed, and well deserved.
I just love the hat...and doesn't it look fabulous on Miss Regina?! Good job.
