Less than 24 hours after this little hobby business was launched...
@Hez Your hat was awesome. Hiring you to make mine next year. 💋

...That's now the SECOND commission I've received for next year's Deighton Cup, and it's rather an important one. My swagger dagger seems to have found its mark!
It's all quite thrilling, and even a little emotional. I didn't realize how much I needed to do this for my own satisfaction and personal growth, and wherever she is, I bet my great-granny Mernie is saying thanks to all of you for caring about hats again, and making it possible for me to create fun and fierce things for an audience that genuinely appreciates them. So, now the hard work and skill development really begin in earnest, and then it's onward and upward. EXCELSIOR!
