Chemo Caps and Hat Racks

Somebody very close to me is battling breast cancer.  Ok, I can tell you with her permission - it's my mom.  Fortunately, it was caught in the early stages and the prognosis is good.  She is currently undergoing chemo, with radiation to follow, and in the process has lost her hair.  Even though I think she still looks beautiful, there are days when she just wants to cover up her head.  So I scoured the internet and found this website with some great ideas and a free pattern for making chemo caps.

I went to Jo-Ann Fabrics and found some fantastic tee-shirt type material in a variety of colors and made these.  They are super soft and light weight....

Mom likes to pair her chemo cap with a cute scarf and a fancy pin.  Doesn't she look great?

Then Bee got some wood, cabinet knobs and small clothes pins.  She designed and painted this cute hanging hat/scarf rack for all the chemo caps and scarves....

If you know someone battling breast cancer, please give them your love and support.  Remember, monthly breast checks are important and go get your mammograms.

BeeAnn's Lake House Hat Rack

The other day Louie offhandedly mentioned that he'd like someplace to hang his hat and sunglasses when he walks in the front door at the lake house.  Chablis and I were out in the garage working on some signs for the kitchen and as I was digging around in a can and looking for some old screws, I pulled out a dock cleat.  "Hey, this would be a great hook to hang a hat on," I said.  And so Chablis whipped up this cute little number....

Now when Louie walks in the door he happily hangs his sunglasses and hat on the hook.

Chablis has been making and selling signs, as well as repurposing furniture.  Most of the things she makes are one-of-a-kind and unique.  Check out her FB page and LIKE it.
