I Finally Got A-Head

I've noticed on a lot of other people's blogs that (eventually) they generally end up getting a-head - to not only show off their FOs (finishes objects) but they also (sometimes) use it to "block" their FOs.  As such, Hubby and I have been talking about getting a-head (get it? ;)) for a while.  We searched our local Goodwills and Savers and while I did find a-head at Savers once, it didn't quite call out to "buy me".  We searched online at Etsy and E-bay ... there were so many to pick from!  From old school hat blocks, millinery heads, wooden hat blocks, glass heads, plastic hat stands, etc.  But, alas, we remained headless as there no head that was quite right (both in style and price). :'(

So, we randomly searched Etsy, E-bay, our local Goodwills and Savers periodically to see if a-head could be found.  We even randomly search Craigslist.  And yet, the search continued ... Until one day, I found this on Craigslist:

Meet Hinoki - my new head! :)

(yarn in head not included)

She was beautiful and at a good price.  Her head seemed like just the right size to fit hats I'd make for myself (small-er hats) and yet would provide a good frame for other hats I'd make for other people (with bigger heads! ;)).  Plus, she had beautiful facial features that formed enough of a face without looking too real (and scary). ;)

Here she is modeling various hats I've already made:

She's even tall enough to model a cowl I made!

And a ski set!

I finally got a-head! ;) lol  (And, yes, I'm loving my lame head jokes! :P lol)
