Looks a little like something the cat brought in.
It is the toorie . . . a decorative ball of fluff . . . a bobble.
It is to be tied to the imminent bonnet.
It has been in a bath, felted up a little, shook off, and will get one more trim.
Imminent Bonnet is back-stage (blocking & reblocking) soon to make it’s debut appearance!
So hold to your seats !
I’m holdin’ on by the skin of my teeth! 😄 X
Awww hen ! Lets party ! Bonnet time !!!! 🙂
Come over for some shortbread, I just yanked a batch out of the oven. 🙂
xx
Did you say shortbread? I just happen to love shortbread! lol. 🙂
Can’t wait to see the bonnet, how’s it coming? Must be another inspiration!
Hi Martha…shortbread is the absolute easiest and simplest baking I’ve ever done. Bonnet is a slight variation on previous posted ones… but pattern will be ready soon. 🙂
I can just about smell it from here…..delicious!
Shortbread? REAL shortbread? I have heard of it for years and eaten some from grocery stores but I think the real deal must be wonderful.
Yes, real shortbread Carol, I make it regularly 🙂
Ok – can we clarify? Is this post about the toorie on the bunnet or the shortbread? Come on, girls – we know the hat will be fantastic but how can Jen waft shortbread under our noses and tease us like this. Tell you what, I will put the kettle on – come over to my place and we will munch and discuss toories.
Ha ha .. I’m there Lizzi !!!
I’m right behind you!
i love that tassel! for a moment i thought it was a ball of fluff, but then you said that it was a tassel. he ha ho!
