What’s With The Hat-itude You’re Wearing?
My friend Olivia is an inspiration. She tells it like it is. There’s something about Olivia that makes her remember-able. Is it her smile? Her warm personality? Although these are wonderful, what rally makes Olivia stand out is her hat-itude!
Olivia can wear hats. She loves to wear hats! You can spot her from the other side of the room because her hats are so wonderful. And so, Olivia inspires me.
About a year ago, she noticed my felted flowers and wanted them for her hats. I, never thinking to put the flowers on hats
, was happy Olivia admired them. She took some of the flowers to shows for me and received great attention.
So I made a hat to showcase a felted flower and now people want me to make hats. I made several hats to sell at Artist Alley, just in time for Mother’s Day. With the help of Olivia, I’m learning to be gracious with a little Hat-itude. Now you know why I’m wearing this Hat-itude!

They are all so pretty! Do you have these on your Etsy site, too?

Just the 4 that you see in the first photo, that’s all I have and they, unfortunately, are not on Etsy…yet. Will be working on them over the summer and should have a supply by fall to display on Etsy.
P.S..I think you have one already. Purple? Do you need a flower to adorn it? The green one was knit when you visited last month.
