Sinister Easter bonnet?

210 replies

Ds1 loves foxes. So I thought it would be fun to make a bonnet with a fox chasing some chicks. the finished article looks a bit scary and having viewed some hats online I am wondering if this is in fact completely inappropriate. He is in reception so this is my first brush with bonneting. Am I worrying over nothing?

I've just done a full on five minute silent shoulder-wracking laugh at those chicks. My DS is getting quite shirty with me. He's watching telly and apparently I'm not being quite silent enough.

Docket your DH you are a bonafide hatting genius. I can't believe you didn't win. You were robbed.

Have just re-read this thread, was hilarious the first time round and I've just PMSL again!! Utterly brilliant!

Is your DS going to be wearing it to school again this year docket?

Honeymoonmummy · 07/04/2011 00:08

I have tears running down my face. Brilliant.

Megglevache · 05/04/2011 16:31

If you'd done this at any of my dc's nurseries I'd want to be your friend Grin

Brilliant bonnet, a bit...off message, perhaps? But they should be begging you to do the set and costumes for the next school play.

I am at a winning hat mentioned down the thread, getting 12 apostles at a table...on a HAT? Some people have far too much time on their hands.

PrincessUnicorn · 04/04/2010 23:25

I am new here and have just wet myself, woke up dd and made my dp look at me with a weird look just over the fox!
Shame it didn't win, but glad to see it lives to fright another day

Pure genuis.

Well done!

mrsfred · 03/04/2010 19:40

I have just seen this on the talk round up. Absolutely brilliant Docket. You have found your vocation in life!!

Restrainedrabbit · 02/04/2010 16:24

That is fab-u-lous

DD is in preschool and demanded a 'fablous hat ten foot tall' so as requested I 'bonneted' with vigour, the headmistress is some bewilderment flagged up her hat as being more appropriate for Ascot

Belgrano · 02/04/2010 15:02

Oh my good god I LOVE IT! You have made me laugh out loud and I think you should start a business flogging sinister things. The fox is scaring even me!!! I want to wake up my three year old to test it out. Utterly brilliant, well done docket!
