Hello all!  It has been a while and for that I am sorry.  It has been a bit busy around here, we're packing up and moving our lives for the summer months and then there's a little boy's birthday to plan...(more on that later)  

In the meantime though I have been throwing myself into hat land.   I'm hoping to be selected as a vendor for the first ever Brass Screw Confederacy Steampunk Festival this June and so have been working on some possible pieces for that.   I just found some goodies at a local antique shop which will do quite nicely :)

Anyways,  here are just a couple of the things I've been working on that hopefully will be at the festival:

Buckram base pillbox

Antique buckle with a lovely geisha

Clock deconstruction


More soon, and I'll post pictures of hats for the festival if I'm selected!
