It's been a Whirlwind lately!

First I was off to a millinery class in Indiana, learning how to use found objects as blocks for forming hats.   Wow, was that fun! Made four hats out of a fantastic Aubergene color. Used one of the small ones as a base for a peek-a-boo hat... So now I have three hats. 

Then I spent some time preparing for my interview for Omaha Fashion Week

interview. That went well. Got notification that I'm in. Wow, great news!!!!!

Springfield Business Association and Springfield Community Foundation tonight

This evening was chalked full of meetings... great ones. Officers elected. Yours truly is the new Vp for the Business Association... Exciting time to be involved.

Great hat class

Just finished a great hat class with instructor Lady Linda Crawford. So much to learn so little time!
