If you are mad, then why not be a hatter?

I am currantly in a millinery class at school. Learning the lost art of hat making, namely, buckram and felt pulling. We can design any hat we please. Most everyone is doing a cloche of some sort or a pill box... I am trying a majorette hat. If i get to discouraged and or irate that my first attempt at a hat is unsatisafctory, I my drop down to a pill box. But I like a challenge
