Profile Information

I Love Hats Because?: I wear a hat every Sunday to church. Hats make me feel well-dressed and elegant. Many ladies tell me they wish hats would come back into style, and I tell them to wear a hat and they will make their own style!

About Me: I am a church organist and glass bead maker, happily married for 36 years to The Love Of My Life; two grown children, a dog, two cats and a Scarlet Macaw. I have always loved vintage fashions and have worn hats since I was little in the 50's.

Lovely you have found my site on Google. Millinery is so creative & in huge demand currently. I wish they wore hats at the Baptist church I attend here in Australia as I would have instant customers!!

Any questions on individual modules please ask by clicking "Lesson Discussions" located on the lesson video page.

I am committed to helping you add to your skills -any questions I am only a message away.
