Well this is my dilemma. I think I have the red hat fever or bug. Is there a cure for it. Gaul I hope not. I am having the time of my life right now. Just to look at this stuff and just to think of what I could do with it and how I can display myself and not feel like a dork.
There is also soo many events coming up now. I would love to go to all of them. Well see what happens. I have already signed up to go to one of them. This on is in Sacramento in California. I will be there for 5 days. 3 of them will be wandering around doing red hat things. The other two days will probably check out the down town area of sacrament and see the sights. The down town area sounds like a lot of history to see. So should have a good time. I am flying down with a few other red hatters so won't be doing my first trek out in red hating by myself. After this trip will see how brave I am to start going to other ones.
I have decided that I will go to a few other things going on. There is a luncheon in ferndale that sounds like it will be a blast. There will be a modelling of hats as well. You know for this one have to make a hat out of a lamp shade. Well how do I do that. Something I have to figure out. And all the blingy has to come from a dollar store. This should be a fun project.
Then next fall there is the talk like a pirate day. I went to that lunch and it was a blast last year. They are looking for bigger this year so get my name In there early if I can. Get to dress in pirate blingy. I just did a basic last year of a pirate hat. It was my first decorated hat though and was proud of what I did.
They are sending out e mail to get ready for Christmas party next year. Well another thing that would be interesting to go to.
There is always something in the works for red hatters to go to. I think I can keep myself pretty busy with this organization. Fun events are going on all over the world . So if you had the hankering could just about go anywhere and meet a red hatter.
Okay so now. This. bug is a good thing for me. I am getting out. Meeting new ladies to talk with. I can go just about anywhere and meet someone who is a red hat. Have some fun and bling myself up all purdy.
I went to micheals. A craft store here that has all sorts of stuff to use to make different things. I got a gift card for Christmas so decided to go in and get some yarn and work on some more knitting. Instead I came out of the store with butterflies, ribbons, boas and feathery things. I then came home and took a red cowboy hat I had sitting here and started decorating. I came up with something so over the top for wearing anywhere. Boa on the front. Boa and scarf on the back hanging down and feathers galore sticking up one side. It isn't something you would wear around out in the sun or such but to and funvations I think it would be pretty good. I now have more of these feathers and fluff so will probably do up another hat later on. It was a challenge to get it to look just the way I wanted it to but I think I did pretty good.
Now the next thing is for this funvations coming up. I have to have a night where I dress all nice and blingy. But in the purple and red colours. Well I found a shirt today that should fit right in and I have a skirt that has some purple in it. Very dressy. I think this hat that I just decorated will look good with it. Hmm!!! How do I get this hat down to the event on the airplane with out crushing it. There is a question. I don't want to crush the feathers. If I wear it on the plane I think I will get allot of strange looks. Then there is the next night were we will have to dress up I costume like wizard of oz. well I think I figured that one out as well. I got a little red and purple in the costumes and have decided that it is my rendition of wicket witch of the west.. Purple and red included. Well I am hoping it turns out okay anyways. Now just to figure out how to get this all packed at the time and not damages anything.
Here is a picture of my hat I just did up down below. So did I do good or what?
So now fever is in full swing. I look for red and purple. I look at the bling of shiny jewellery. I seek out red hats. I look for stuff to decorate them with. I find feathers and boas butterflies and birds. I read all the e mails that come in for different events and say that sound like fun. Then I say well how do I get off work to go to this. Now book it off and see what happens. I will soon be doing more red hating and less working. Well that is the plan eventually. For now. Try to get in as much as I can before I do retire and then can do it more often.
So for now. Will go to a few events and have a little fun. Then later on more events less working and allot of fun.
Like I say red hats to the rescue. They have given me a not so boring future. Thank you ladies.
