Sinister Easter bonnet?

[docket]

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 have killed the thread with my utter wankery

I love the bonnet! Do not change it, it is a work of genius! Really.

Great bonnet

at onebat

but where is docket?! i want an update. if this is trolling then it's very committed trolling.

Utterly brilliant! ROFL. The terrified chick is inspiring

Sorry for delay, ds2's sleep has gone to the wall.

The FrightHelmet definitely didn't win. In fact, I sensed some disapproval from DS1's (slightly po-faced it must be said) teacher!

No matter, ds1 enjoyed wearing it and the comments on here have been most amusing. We're moving in the summer so he'll be at a different school next year. The FrightHelmet lives to see another day....

so he ddn't win the easter bonet compo?

Oh god...I've almost asphyxiated with laughter. Docket - it's brilliant.

gawd, what a bummer of a woman his teacher is...

Docket, I've just been alerted to your plight by the Talk Roundup, so had to come and have a look -

I was expecting a teeny fox chasing some teeny chicks around the brim of the hat, so doubled up on the computer desk when I clicked on the picture!

It's FABULOUS.

I think you win the Mumsnet Bonnet Competition, hands down!

Amazing - best laugh I've had for ages! give that girl an Easter Egg....

Just saw this on talk round up, that is hilarious!

That is BRILLIANT!

I've been farting around all day sewing fecking eggs and flowers onto a bonnet and I am so of the fox!

I have saved the pic to cheer me up whenever needed- you truly have a gift

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!

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

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

LOL.

Pure genuis.

Well done!

docket, not only have I wept hot tears of laughter over this thread several times, but my DP has just openly cackled with glee at the FrightHelmet So well done, we both salute your exceptional bonneting skills Fabulous!

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

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.

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

I have tears running down my face. Brilliant.
