May Hat Madness 2015

The Hatter (called Hatta in Through the Looking Glass) is a fictional character in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass. He is often referred to as the Mad Hatter, though this term was never used by Carroll. The phrase "mad as a hatter" pre-dates Carroll's works and the characters the Hatter and the March Hare are initially referred to as "both mad" by the Cheshire Cat , with both first appearing in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in the seventh chapter titled "A Mad Tea-Party".


I have been challenged to present my "mad hat" to start the celebration of warm weather to come ( or in hopes ). 


So on went my thinking "hat" to come up with a wacky and zany design worthy of the fairy tale.  


Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea tray in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!

  4. Thank you! I am amazed that your cat was so patient and let you put a hat on. My kitties would have made kitty litter out of mine if I attempted that. Hahaha
