End Of Summer & Wedding Hat Worries.

This week brings the repetitive school run back. Getting up in the morning before you really want to, and dropping everything at 3pm to get to school in time for the bell. There is something very dignified in allowing your body to wake of its own natural accord. I couldn’t believe it the other day, when walking the dog, there were conkers on the ground. I still haven’t been on a picnic this summer. Its either been raining or the ground is still wet, or its just not warm enough.

Now thoughts are turned towards my sisters wedding in a month’s time. I have decided that I need a fantastic hat to plan my outfit around, and after two days (well it feels like that) of searching the internet, I have only come up with two options that will be original and stunning enough. One site has rubber hats made from recycled inner tubes and the like. They are fantastic, a little bit S&M, and black, so not right for a wedding, but other occasions! Then there is Ana Voog. WOW! I have discovered free form crochet and think that now I will make myself a hat. Of course this a lot of time and effort, and lets face it, it might be rubbish and then I will be without a hat! I can’t go hatless to a wedding, so I may have to make a fascinator as well. What a ridiculous name, a FASCINATOR! Still, should be less work than a full head covering, and possibly more mad.

I am thinking a cross between medieval and sci-fi, with princess Leiya type coils etc.. I will have to be careful not to show up the bride as well, so it will need to be slightly understated. There is a danger I will look like one of my sock creatures too which is an effect that I am not after, especially if a wear my knitted skirt too.

Today, I am off to purchase some gridwall system for the PINK exhibition we, eveArt, are installing at the end of the month, even though I have not made artwork yet! I will have to get going on that too. I have to check emails and do lots of those little pesky things that clog up your head and your desk.


So heres hoping your September starts well
