Women’s Fashion Bucket Hats

July 2, 2021

Recycled Coffee Bean Bags turned into Adorable Bucket Hats
Taking something that has an expired purpose and turning it into something C.U.T.E is a summer project that keeps me persistent and excited. You ever get that feeling of persistence and excitement?…thought so – can we be best friends? In the back of my nagging creative brain, for nearly a year, I was convinced it wasn’t possible to take some stiff burlap bags from a coffee shop and bend them into these fisher fashion women’s bucket hats. They’re even a winner with my young nieces!

Show Your True Colors

January 4, 2021

fleece beanie earflap hat

Your brisk morning walk just got an upgrade and you can start to show your true colors!

In between distance learning with the kids, virtual work meetings and baking it may be tough to get outdoors and breath in the fresh air.  Getting outside clears the head, refreshes the soul and jumpstarts the day.  While I shirk on the everyday walker chart finding any time of the day is good to get out and take in the landscape…even if it’s not that pretty of a view. (heck, anything is pretty outside my house right now because I’m living with seven people).

SHOW YOUR TRUE COLORS WITH A WINTER FLEECE HAT

THANK YOU TO ALL MY NEW SUBSCRIBERS!!
YOU ROCK MY SOCKS!

How to Be a Hat Person

January 31, 2020

how to be a hat person

Welcome! So, I totally get it…plain and simple you want to wear hats but don’t know where to begin. Hello, my name is Shelly and I love wearing hats so much that I began to make them years ago because I could never get one to fit right. I’m here to help you be the hat person you want to be.

Do you often hear these negative voices about wearing hats…..?


My head is WAY too big.

– says retired woman that wants to show up her friends at book club

I LOVE them but they look ridiculous on me, ugh.

– says the taxi mom with peanut butter stains from feeding her 3 year old lunch

My friend is always wearing a cute cap, I could never pull it off!

– says the best friend that wants to be as confident as her hat-wearing friend

As your hat wearing expert, I get the pleasure of telling you that YES! you actually can wear hats. With just a few basic tricks not only will you find a flattering, well-fitting hat but you’ll also experience the extraordinary wardrobe up-leveling that comes with incorporating hats into your wardrobe.

And I am prepared to uncover everything you need to know in my FREE mini email course!

say no more ……I want in!

Life is busy, especially during this time of your life and as a mom of five myself, I too, struggled with wanting to feel put together after a full day of chasing kids, feeding the 5000, etc.

Let’s start with a simple question today:

Why do I want to add hats to my everyday wardrobe?

I got the answer hidden right here….


1. Handmade hats pulls together an outfit and makes YOU look put together
2. Disguises a bad hair day, because we all know that your hair may (or may not) have gotten washed this morning…or last night
3. Instant confidence after a crappy day at work
4. A shield from the world when you just wanna get your mail and go home

Join me and hundred’s of other women that learned how to beat the confidence battle while accessorizing with a hat!

okay, I’m convinced…HELP ME!

Bound to be….helping you, too,
XO Shelly
