I wasn’t too sure if I wanted to share this with you, but as a friend of mine pointed out to me, I am chatty and quite personal on this blog so, why not? Two weeks ago, I got a hat inspired tattoo! I’ve been wanting a top hat tattoo for a very long time [...]

Did a quick project this week! As I’ve said in the past, I really like turbans and I finally got my act together to give one a try. So this is a prototype more than a finished one . I made a simple fabric shape to use as a base to my turban using a [...]

It’s been a while since I last made a hat pattern, but I was really in the mood the other day so I got out some paper and the needed tools (calculator, compass, french curve…). I thought I’d start by doing a simple shape to ease back slowly into things. It wasn’t too long before [...]

It’s times like this I hate the layout I chose for this site. You know it, I know it – big pics on my blog, no good! Sorry! As you know, big weddings mean HATS. And just because it’s a TV show (“Gossip Girl” – basically the lives of rich kids living in the Upper [...]

After a very mild beginning to winter, I can officially say that winter has bitten us in the bum and it’s now freezing! I have no idea how I’m physically going to face this weekend (it’s going to be -13°c/8.5°F here Saturday morning!), but I’m guessing it’s going to involve a lot of tea and [...]

Hey you all! I wanted to do a post about the fashion shows going on at the moment, but the Paris Fashion Week hasn’t finished yet and I wouldn’t have much to go on – though I can already say I love the Givenchy collection! As well as looking at the photos over on Style.Com, [...]

So, finally managed to take some photos of my current work! It’s so hard dashing around during my lunch break when the sun is out to get a few shots! I hate it when it gets dark so early, drives me mad! Anyway, I’ve started off the year with a few small items (I’ve got [...]

The winter sales have only just started here in France and though I don’t really have any money to spend, I know I’m going to end up buying some clothes – some that I need (new swimming costume), some that I don’t … I was going round the American Apparel web site (on the first [...]

Happy New Year! I hope everybody is well and that the year 2012 is off to a good start! To ease myself back into blogging, I thought I do a small movie/hat post. I must admit I quite enjoy doing posts like this, when I get to mix up a couple of my different interests, [...]

It’s getting near the end of the year and it’s time for me to have a small blog break! Working hard at my day job, getting my christmas presents, preparing my christmas vacation…I think everybody is busy at this time of the year! So, thanks for reading this blog throughout 2011, I hope you do [...]
