Hats!

It's high time for another blog post, don't you think?

My Facebook updates can be awfully wordy and that's what a blog is for, isn't it?

So I'm going to try and post more regularly on the blog - going to attempt one post a week - shocking, I know!

Lots has been happening in ABC-land and I'll be revealing pieces to you over the next few weeks in my blog posts.  Today is going to be a less wordy post from me (I hope) because I mostly just want to show you some photos of the sun hats and bucket hats I've been making.  I'm still fine-tuning the brim length of the bucket hats because I find they are still a little "wavy" for my taste.  But I love the wavy-effect on the sun hats.  I've also decided that the sun hats are much more wearable with a layer of interfacing, otherwise the brim can fall into your eyes at times.

Without further ado - some photos for you!

My son wearing the first hat I made - the brim is much too wide for his little head!
Another child's hat - the brim is much more proportional.
My gorgeous hat!  Perfect for the garden.

Happy Canada Day hat for my son.

Well now anyone who can access the internet can see my current stock of available neckties to choose from! Allison's Flickr Photostream If you click on the link above it will take you to my Flickr account which is basically an image hosting site. I will update this album at the same time that I update my Facebook album with new neckties. If you are interested in ordering a necktie clutch from me just shoot me an email to: allisonbarnescollection@gmail.com  and let me know which necktie you would like (copy and paste the image to make it easy for me to find the correct necktie).
