Pink Monkeys and Purple Turtles

A friend of mine asked me to make her girls some winter hats.  I sent her a baby gift of a miniture Hooter Hat for her baby boy that is going to make his appearance this week.  So exciting!  After seeing how completely awesome the baby's hat was, there was no way store bought would do.  When talking to her about what she wanted, I was stumped for a little while.  A purple turtle hat and any kind of pink animal, flower whatever hat.  I tossed ideas around to her and The A.B. and came up with these.

The Pie may be scarred for life.  The idea of putting the pink hat on was traumatizing.  One would think that we are not gender neutral in our home.  I assure everyone that I encourage the boys to play with ANY toy they like.  Barbies or Trucks makes no difference to me, so I am going with it must be genetic:)

Due was not nearly as hard to convince to put on the hat.  He likes any reason to get his picture taken.  Seriously, any reason.  This hat is hard to express in a photo, just know that it is fabulous:)
