Mom's Bucket Hat

Here's my first FO of '07, I spun all day yesterday and plied it with some singles I already had.

and started crocheting in the afternoon... I crocheted until about 12:30 last night and finished it up around noon today.

The pattern is my own.

here's a close up:

nice huh,

I bought a old camera from my brother on the weekend for $50.

100 times better than the one I had, plus I got the case, cable and a memory card too!

can't beat a deal like that!!
