So much fun tonight.  While we were out today, the hubby bought a bunch of feathers.  He wanted to make a new hat feather for the pork pie that the kids got him for his birthday.  

So together we sat at the kitchen table this evening and made hat feathers of every imaginable color combination.  Illini pride colors, halloween colors, holiday colors, autumnal colors, spring colors… you name it, we put it together.  Wanna see?  You got it…

So this was our first try, but between the four of us we came up with some really kick ass hat feathers.  A strange way to spend a Saturday night, but well worth the effort.  We need to get some new tape, because the black that we bought wasn’t good, so we had to make do with some blue stuff that we just happened to have around.  The next round won’t have the blue tape and they’ll look better, although you can’t see any of the tape when they’re on the hat, anyhow.  Not what I intended to do tonight, but so glad we did with hat season coming!
