Yes ... I made... and wore an Easter Bonnet.... I do not like hats ... and only wear a baseball cap for protection from the sun... Ooohh and sometimes to cover up a bad hair day... lol's
Anyway ... Back to the Easter Bonnets... we had an Easter Bonnet parade to raise money for a Dog charity that we work with.... my friend kept plaguing me to make a bonnet ... to wear .... and I kept saying no way... you wont get me wearing a hat...
But I was secretly making not one ..., but two... The first one, I decided I would make a joke hat...
For the first one... I downloaded a photo of a lovely decorative Easter Bonnet, off the internet, then printed it ..., and then stuck it onto one of my baseball caps... very badly..... to make it look like I had not taken any time or care with it.... and it worked... lol's
The second hat ... I did much better, I started off with a straw hat.. then decorated it with plastic and silk flowers ... some chocolate Easter eggs and two brooches, one of a butterfly and the other a dragonfly.... it looked quite nice, even though I say so myself....
On the day ... I wore my baseball cap creation and maggs224 wore the proper one ... my friends thought my baseball cap was a funny clever idea and they all got the joke ... and were very impressed with the other hat too...
we had a good laugh and raised some money all in a good cause.... click on the link below... for a short slide show of some of our hats....

the blurring of the faces is intentional to protect peoples identity ... which is another post....

The hat in the picture is great and so is your awesome smile. As far as the other hat goes, I would say you have an awesome sense of humor.

@sueznewz2 I'm sure they were. It looks like a lot of thought went into them, and no two alike, just like their owners

i'm glad you liked the bonnet.... yes it is getting harder to find hats... and if you do ... they are usually very expensive... unless you can find a second hand one.....

@sueznewz2 I always like the pill-box hats, wish they would bring back that style.

I love your Easter bonnet! I have trouble wearing hats, too. They are always too small.
