Fed up being back at work after a long weekend? Let me make you smile…
To celebrate the coming of spring, there has been much silliness in Vaark Land. These are the contributions from Chez Snail to the Twitter Vaark Spring/Easter/Oestra bonnet parade:
First we have Arnoldo in his top hat
Next, Iolanthe in a more traditional bonnet
Then Rosalind in a fascinator inspired by Alexander McQueen’s 2008 spring collection (really)
Snailvaark in a classic
And, finally, Tali as a daffodil
And the group together:
You can check out more wonderful creations from my fellow vaark owners on our Pinterest board. Oh, and if you want to make your own mousevaark, Danielle’s pattern is available to buy here.
Did you do anything silly over the weekend?

/ March 29, 2016Oh yes, I did something silly, but not quite as fun-silly as your vaarks! You will not be surprised to learn that it’s quilt and sewing based, and involves a deadine…. I find the button-on tails such fun!

/ March 29, 2016I did nothing near as fun as that! But then, I don’t have to go back to work either 🙂 All the headwear creations are wonderful.. I am particularly drawn to the Alexander MccQueen inspired topfer and would absolutely wear one should such a creation and a matching occasion ever collide!!

/ March 31, 2016My long weekend silliness was of the physical variety, hauling my aging frame up cliffs in the name of fun. Your craftiness is wonderfully daft and smile-inducing. 😀
