BRAVA!!! You both look fabulous. I love your bonnet, and after reading your blog post one can see that you really did put your heart (and a tiny bit of blood) into that one.

Absolutely charming!

You and Sarah look so lovely in these gorgeous hats and dresses. You certainly have a talent for millinery (among your many talents)! I enjoyed your blog immensely! Thank you for sharing.

, forever... at least 10 hours, probably 15 or more. I didn't watch the clock because for much of it I was either lost in thought or trying not to bleed on a non-cleanable part. I think it might go more quickly next time, now that I know what NOT to do, and also, I'd use a better hat with finer, more easily manipulated straw (or fabric).
