A hat for Grandma!

This year my grandmother turned 80, and I have never known her better! She has always lived a state over and I only saw her on holidays, but now she has moved close by! I see her everyday, I get to enjoy her stories, find out things she loves (patent leather shoes!), and give her hugs only a granddaughter can :)

During a recent conversation she said she needed a warm winter hat.....and I thought of a recent ravelry.com find that would be perfect for her! I described it and her face lit up..."you would make that for me?"

well, yes, and I did :)



Happy Birthday Grandma!
