Fit model...

Hat stack!

Yup, it's been a weekend of non-stop crochet action. We're just unbearably cool like that.

These aren't all just for us, you know... *mysterious face*

Paper Hat MKII

By Jove, I think we've got it.

*some sort of joke involving poop decks*

I am so good to them...

Following Melchett's admiration of the paper hat, I had to track down some newspaper print fabric to make her her own version. 

Excuse the blurry photo, it's a bit late for such shenannygoats!

I'll be posting a tutorial for this once I've figured out the ideal starting size rectangle of fabric. This one is too tall in the crown.

If you want your own newspaper print fabric, there's a variety available here. I purchased a fat quarter, which is more than enough for a few hats... guess I might have something to swap at the Makie Meet after all!

Hullo! Melchett here.

Since getting the new laptop (thanks, human's unattended credit card!) Plink and I have been having a good look on the internet for other things that we could possibly purchase. Today we hit up Etsy and had a rummage for some top Makie desirables.

Got coffee. Got doughnut. Got a BEAR HAT. Locked and loaded!

First up, we reckon this pattern book would make a great present for our human! Loads of trousers, shirts and coats. Apparently, if they fit the big-headed dolly with the weird eyes, they'll probably fit us.

Next, this cute little dress. I'm not so keen, Plink think's it's awesome.

A fancy jug like this would make our drinking evenings far more fun, obviously. This is hand blown glass, would you believe?! The colours! The pattents! The SIZE!

Completely astounding work by Kivaford

Oh, and we'll have this for the lab too.

Finally, here's one to break the bank...

No, it's not a daft dolly in a silly hat, it's a completely gorgeous, fully-furnished des-res of Makie proportions, with sofa, fireplace, cosy chair and curtains! Personally if I could have one bit, it would be the hat. But hey, I think I'll just press for the whole darned lot.

Right! Off to the B+Q website to buy the human some woodworking tools for her birthday. Yeah!

Good grief...

Hullo and welcome to the lab!

(She won't take the bear hat off you know. I've tried.)

... huh... what's that? There's something on my feet?

(Bears, elephants and bunnies on one Makie? Surely some sort of record.)

Oh... these are just my EXTREMELY AWESOME FLUFFY BUNNY SLIPPERS.

(I'm a medical professional and everything. I'm getting too old for this. *sniffle*)

Oh yeah!

Oh help.

Today's Makie couture is brought to you from my bed, where I'm currently in the thrall of the dreaded lurgi of +5 snuffling.

The girls have decided to keep me company... I don't think the peace and quiet is going to be terribly peaceful or quiet, somehow.
