Well it is very late into Me Made May 13.

A much-loved but elderly hat .  My MMMay13 Makeover Pledge.   A needle, some thread, me reading specs and the late-night-light of an angle poise lamp.   Et voilà!

There are a few more sun-drenched afternoons in the old girl after all.  She might be slightly frayed at the edges and frankly a little crumbly if handled roughly but I could say the same about myself and I’m not ready to be recycled just yet.  Oh dear, and now I’m thinking about where I’d be if this was Logan’s Run.  I would have had to escape Carrousel (sic) more than a decade ago.  I like to imagine that I would be living happily with Peter Ustinov and all those cats.  I’d probably be sewing.  Or starting a library.  Or both.  Hmm, yes, I’ve gone off on a bit of a tangent there.  The Hat:

And not one, but two uses for the Liberty print.

Note to self:  You must pay more attention to your backdrops my dear.  That headband head shot?  You haven’t quite managed to quite crop out the wheelie bins.  If ‘crop out’ is even a bone fide phrase.
