Have been working like crazy on my lunch hours and was able to finish up the hat for Rachel for Regan. She had a teal hat and wanted one to match. Joanne's hat matches the one her Madame Alexander doll wears that Grandma got her for Christmas. She looks like a little garden gnome according to some people.

Came across this on the computer. My baby before the baby came. My blue ribbon I won for my baby Christmas hat in 2007. Has been a dry time since. The judges are really tough and very picky on what wins. It seems like basic, boring and traditional are the qualities they really like. I am sure they will just hate the afghan I am make for the next fair. Oh well, I make stuff I want to make and just see what happens.
