I love my grandma. I've known for a long time that she is a smart, interesting and crafty woman (see the amazing beach house she made here).
My grandma is a dog-lover extraordinaire. She has owned dogs for the majority of her 89 years. From boxers to poodles to more poodles, she has owned and loved the pooch. But, I never really realized the depth of her love until recently. Until her hat collection came up in conversation this holiday season.
You see, I have come to find out that each time one of her dogs passes, my grandma actually KNITS A HAT USING THEIR FUR. I asked her to model these for me this past weekend.
Apparently they don't even smell like wet dog in the rain! Amazing!

I am, in all seriousness, saving Arrow's fur. When her slicker brush is full, I pull out the fur and put it in a bag. My friend also found me a booklet entitled "Putting on the Dog: A Handbook on Spinning - With a Twist."
I would also like to show you this:

your grandma is my style icon.
WOAH... that is really quite something. She's so adorable in her stylin hats!!
Oh my gosh! She is gorgeous! And boy, can she work those hats.
I think your Grandma’s really love hers dogs that she immortalized each one of them by making hats out of their fur. And oh, she has an eye for fashion! I think those hats are amazing! They are perfect for wintertime!
