I, on the other hand also have a hobby, well not so much a hobby as a commitment to become friends with my industrial sewing machine - sometimes I feel like beating the stuffing out of it with one of Richard's black smith hammers - our working relationship tests my limits. Together though we have repaired huge sails in close quarters, made awnings and covers for our boat Mandy and now with the help of incredible wool and linen fabrics donated from our friend Gwen Nowrick who has a historical clothing business and is also Jeff Hedgecock's other half, I have made and sold in our inn store several of these "dutch girl" hats which stay on in a stiff breeze skiing and cycling and are beautifully warm all through the winter. Creating something useful and or long lasting fulfills something very basic and definitely soothes the restless inn keeper.
