the cow hats

the cow hats

so I finished the cow hats.  They look alright, but not as good as the one in the picture I’m afraid.  I just hope they’re not too big for the kids!  When you put one on you just can’t help being silly, but that’s ok, because in the play all the cattle die from the fifth plague on the Egyptians, so they’ll likely ham it up.  Glad I had four sheep hoods in my dress up box from a previous year’s play, that will make a nice herd.

Oh! have you been reading “Deb’s diaries“?  I am so moved by what she has been writing about- the poverty and disease in Africa, and the hardships these people endure on a daily basis…  So glad there is a hope for the future that we can share with them- the Agape in Action team are doing a super job.  It would be great if more people would consider sponsering a child, or buying a “gift of hope“- every little bit helps.

And just look at my orhcid now!  A bare rooted rose that I ordered came this week- “Earth Angel“- it’s a lovely old fashioned one, looking forward to that too!
