What is a Duck?

I was asked the other day "what is a Duck?" I paused for a moment before answering because I was going to say it was a bird that goes quack.  I have been making up my own labels in which I categorize things.  Ducks are people that are willing to let me take a picture of them in the hat.  A sitting duck which I shoot. Okay my sense of humor is a little odd.   

I am quite happy with the U.S. postal service right now.  I mailed a hat this past Wednesday, and the postman told me 3-5 days.  Today the hat was received which makes it 3-4 days depending if you count Wednesday.  The bouns is I get a new picture to post.

 

Viv with her new sleeping cap!

When I first started making my first panda hat, Viv mentioned that she liked the Naruto sleeping cap.  I finally got around to making one.  Like normal I feel it is far from perfect since I did my normal cut and sew.  The band seems a little too wide and I think I placed the eyes too high. The eyes also look a little angry.  But all that matters is Viv enjoys it.

Angry eyes

I was a little worried that it covered the mannequin's eyes.

Little Sleepy Panda Cat.

Maybe my cat does not look too sleepy.  But here he is as I bother him yet again to wear one of my creations.  I caught him while he was napping on one of his current favorite spots..  If only I could teach him how to smile.

After refusing to pose with a nicer expression, he decided to try and remove the hat.  I was hoping to get a ferocious picture with fangs, I unfortunately missed the shot.

Rawr Kitty.

RAWR!

Last month I went to The Yard House with a few people.  Of course I had a little surprise with me.  Let us just say I hit another Duck.  The picture is off focused, I really need to remember to set my camera for low light areas.  Mom Panda's picture is a little blurry,  but this one is almost fuzzy.

 Rawr... Kitty!

Another request on a blurred face.  You all look scary with your faces blurry.  Thank you for placing it on in the middle of the bar.  Bonus of that is the waitress did say "That's hot!"  Yes, she was blonde, and seemed a bit ditzy.  

Panda

I mentioned before that I was creating a Panda hat for someone.  Well here is Mom.  I blurred his face out like he asked.  One ear is flopped down but I still think it looks adorable on him.

A group of us went out to Shokudo.  When Mom arrived I took out the hat and slipped it on his head.  I found it amusing that he did not protest and was wearing it.  I should have gotten a picture of the Leaf hat and Panda hat together.  Panda and Leaf were sitting together for a while outside of Shokudo as we waited for our table.  

Introducing... The Jack

One day after a chat with someone, I decided to create a brown dog hat.  I am not sure if he told me when I gave it to him or if it was after, but he said that it looked like a donkey, dog, kangaroo or some brown animal.  This hat could be any brown animal with floppy ears.  My wish is that whoever wears it, enjoys wearing it.  So because of this I will name this hat Jack (this is in response to the donkey comment.) And all brown dog hats will be called Jack.  It might have been because the ears were sewn differently than the one in the picture below.  Or the way he wore the hat.(Maybe I can get approval to post the picture of the first Jack.)

Jack

The first Jack was a one of a kind creation by San. What I like to call a reject hat.  It was a sample, instead of using temporary stitches, I used a regular stitch that I was not going to take it apart.  The first Jack also had the first label placed on it.  Below is a label that was hand sewn on to the Pink hat with white flower.  I had to hand sew on labels to all hats that were made before these labels were created. 

Little frog label

There are three items that I stitched the logo on to.  Below is the first froggy hat I made.  This was the first logo I stitched onto a hat.  After doing the third item to have a logo placed on in this method I decided I was not crazy enough to do this on all the hats I made.
