Nothing like a Colorado Snow day to do crafts and watch the snow fall. I've been wanting to try this pattern for a while: http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/08/kid-sized_chefs_hat.html. This chef's hat is adorable and so easy to make. My kids are so excited and are putting in their requests. I'm thinking about having a cooking birthday party for my soon to be 8 year old in January and making hats for the kids. The website says 90 minutes but after the first one I think 1 hour is about what it took. Of course, I sewed the Mickey Mouses on upside down and it was just not worth taking out the stitches and redoing it. Since it was a practice hat, it will stay the way it is. My kids don't seem to care.
