| my mom's kitchen...usually spotless...the mess is my fault ~ dinner was on us last night as a thank you & I was jumping back & forth between cooking & sewing |
Special request from Jason....12th Man Beer Can hats for the boys' roadtrip to Arizona (they are Superbowl bound!!!). So highbrow, cough cough, but every fan needs one, right? We spent the weekend with my mom and these hats were a true group effort ~ I cut the cans into pieces and did the seaming, Jason punched all the holes in the aluminum, my mom used her mad crochet skills, and Dozer supervised!
They were a blast to make ~ sorry I can't share a recipe but we fudged these caps from beginning to end ~ they're freeform and custom fit. There are tons of patterns out there, though...we just couldn't find one that suited our vision. I think they turned out fantastic. Jason thinks they are perfect, so that's all that matters anyway.
Note to self - when working against a deadline, make sure to allow time for the beer to be imbibed. Sadly, this surprisingly tasty beer went down the drain except for a few small glasses. Boo. Hoo.
GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They look great Melissa and I especially love seeing all the happy photos .So, the Hawks are going to the Superbowl? I have no idea who that is or even when the game is being played, but I'm happy because you are happy.
ReplyDeleteI love that you have no idea what I'm talking about, Tracey :)
Deleteyes they're going to the Superbowl and it's this Sunday ~ GO HAWKS!!!!
Great job gals... and Jason... What cute hats., a bit sad about the beer. LOL Great Job... GO HAWKS !!!
ReplyDeleteyeah ~ pouring it down the drain was just wrong but I surely can't drink that much beer (in a week, let alone a day!)
DeleteJason is pretty proud of them :)
How exciting! I'm super pumped that Jason gets to go see the Hawks at the Superbowl. Talk about crossing something good off your bucket list!
ReplyDeleteJon went to the Home Run Derby in Minneapolis last year, had great seats, and had 15 seconds of fame when the guy in front of him caught a ball and they were both on ESPN. People from across the country saw him and gave him a facebook shout out. I still get the occasional, "I'm sorry Kelly, were YOU on ESPN?"...
that's funny :)
DeleteJason did standby at the All Star game when it was in Seattle ~ and all I got was a lousy t-shirt (just kidding ~ it's not lousy...I still wear it as a nightshirt ~it's an XXL and comes down to my knees!
Not many of us get to say we drove to AZ with buds to watch our home team play in the Superbowl. The hats are the perfect touch. Go HAWKS!
ReplyDeletewell, they did drive to Arizona.....
DeleteGO HAWKS!!!!!
PERFECT!! I love the hats, the group effort, the enthusiasm!! So glad Jason and his friends will have this experience!! Go, Seahawks!! Yea! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteHi, Tanna!
DeleteGo Hawks!!!
Those hats will definitely contribute to a Seahawk Superbowl Championship! Good work, have a smashing time, Jason!
ReplyDeletehopefully the hats bring some good mojo to someone ~ he's having a blast even though we WON'T be watching from inside the stadium!
DeleteLooks like great fun! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThose are so funny!! GO HAWKS! Woohoo!! We are gearing up here to watch the game and will be cheering and screaming and scaring our kids! They were so concerned during the NFC championship, we were wild! haha!
ReplyDeleteOH too much fun! Good luck this weekend!!!! I'll be cheering your team on.
ReplyDeleteI love that for all your good taste you are not afraid to let your hair down. I may be rooting politely for the Seahawks in your honor. Good luck!
