Profile Information

I Love Hats Because?
My mom started me wearing hats when I was a child. I always had a hat to match my Resurrection Day outfit. In my culture, the older generation like myself wear more hats than the younger ladies. I don't feel dressed on Sunday if I don't wear my hat to church. Hat RULE.
About Me
I'm married, mom of 3 grown daughters, 2 grand children, retired after working 36 years, love crafts, sewing, crocheting, millinery, jewelry making, embellishing my shoes and purses, doing florals, and weddings. Fishing is also another hobby I do. I LOVE DOGS.

Welcome to Hat Academy Rose You are Special. Thanks for sharing your designs with us You really have mastered using Buckram. I love the bling as we are so restricted to add bling  in Australia. I discussed with Web designer whether we can have a store in the site to allow students to sell their hats - see how it works out. Blessings ElaineM ps thanks for your encouragement as there were times I needed it.
