new hat and first sewing project

This is the gorgeous new hat that mr. andrew bought me for my birthday...

isn't it f*n delightful!!!!??!! I love it.  I can't wait for it to be cool enough to actually wear it. 

I thought I would also share some pics of my first sewing project.  It is a lolita inspired skirt and bow set, with a very me feel to it, the pattern being distinctly different from most lolita picks.

And, here is me wearing my bow.  I think it is pretty cute. The skirt was a big hit at work yesterday, i was pleased! :)
