The Good with the Bad

This has been quite the week. Lots of not-so-good things happening but so many amazing things to soften those blows. Mainly its been a week to remind me how fortunate I am and how many great people I have in my life. Oh, and a week for making hats. 



Yes, I have been peer pressured into setting up an etsy store. Before doing so I want to build up a store of hats, so I've made three in the past couple of days and will probably make several more before setting up shop. I've found a color palette that I am in LOVE with, so many many hats will be made in the colors in the two hats below. I will probably even keep on of them for myself, which very rarely happens (I only have two hats that I've made and kept).  I also totally see Tori with one of these hats ;) 





I just love making things, and there is especially something really fun and satisfying about making hats. If I could afford to make tons of things and give it all away I would, but despite my prior reluctance to actually selling anything that I make, I do put time and effort into them and I am hoping other people will appreciate that (and gain some warmth--and style--in the process! :) So anyway, stay tuned for these hats (and more!) coming to an etsy store near you. 

Panic and I also have an AKC show this weekend, which I am really looking forward to. It will be our first time showing since tryouts, so I am prepared to bring my newfound sense of the game to our performance as well as keeping my far fetched goal of Qing for Nationals in the back of my mind. Panic has been running extremely well for me in class lately, and has even discovered the ability to collect with ease without me having to drive and turn him like a freight truck. Maybe just maybe that will carry over to our show. I am just feeling really excited to run. And it's a local show!
