Day two of serious MAGFest production

  Well today started out with me running errands: shipping off my school books that I sold to various places, picking up the grommets I needed and some more green fleece for 4 more green hats, and some buckets for dying the marabou feathers for the tails. I think now I finally have all the supplies necessary to finish everything. After returning home I set to work putting grommets into the Link hats, it took all day but all the hats now have grommets. Most annoyingly, even though I purchased more grommets, I still didn't have enough of the black or green grommets. So half of the black hats will have black grommets while the remainder will have silver, likewise half of the green hats will have green grommets and the other half will have brown. My hands are sore from using my grommet tools all day, when I went to sew hat bands onto the hats it was mildly painful to feed the fabric through the sewing machine. At any rate I'm making progress, there is still lots to do, but as Tim Gunn says "Make it work". If my hands are still sore in the morning I'll likely get started on dying the boas, as well as finishing up attaching hat bands to hats.
