National Hat Day

Today is National Hat Day!  What does that mean? I don't know, but rumor has it that back in the 40s The Headwear Association started National Hat Day to recognize the seasonal transition of getting rid of old hats and putting on new ones.  Some communities have celebrations where they fill coffins with last season's hats and carry them down the street. 

Tonight The Headwear Association will have its annual dinner and announce the Hat Person of the Year.  This year's nominees are Johnny Depp, Kate Hudson, Gwen Stefani, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Richie and Justin Timberlake.  Check their web site tonight for the winner! 

So eat a cupcake today while showing off your (cupcake) hat!

Crochet a Cupcake Hat!

I can't wait to make this hat and wear it snowboarding on opening day.  I found the video tutorial on You Tube but the video and printed pattern are available from The Art of Crochet: Teresa.

Now all we need is some snow!
