Adorable vs. Affordable

By now, I have come to the realization that Simon's wolf hat will not arrive in time for Halloween festivities. I have back-up options in the works. Tonight I attempted to create a wolf hat from scraps left over and from my small stash of miscellaneous fabric. The hat is completed (thanks to the hood pattern from Lil' Red), ears attached (thanks to scouring the Internet for visuals and a husband's head for pinning), and a velcro closure. I am pondering a snout.) This is option 2a, a.k.a. "Option Affordable".

Now while I am extremely tempted to place the order for Option Adorable. Really, I can make do without. I read Simon the e-mail posted below. He understood what I was reading, and sort of became teary eyed. He saw the etsy hat and watched me use Norah's hood pattern to make a hat. He has tried it on and has accepted option 2a. He did not ask, beg, cry, question, or demand option 2b. If my little guy can accept Option Affordable, then maybe I should as well!
