Go, Pack, Go

For those of you who don't know this already, I can't stand the Packers! (Gasp, look of horrified shock...and maybe disgust!)

It started when I was a kid and we could never do anything on Sundays until the game was over, and I am so not a patient person.  (I, to this day, swear that the last three minutes on the clock of any football game takes an hour and a half.)

Well, when I went to college in Green Bay, my dislike of football and the Packers intensified, as every single thing in Green Bay has to do with the Packers.  The local news up there somehow manages to come up with a leading news story about the Packers, even in mid July.  Hearing about the Packers made my stomach turn.

Anyway, when I was at Michael's buying fleece on Friday, I saw some Packer fleece.  I knew Packer hats would probably sell well, but could I really get into the business of making Packer hats.  I couldn't.  I justified my decision by saying the profit margins would be much lower, since the licensed fleece was twice as expensive as the rest.

Our first order happened to be for four hats in green and yellow.  Why?  Because they wanted to have Packer themed hats for their family.  I decided to be nice.  They ordered four hats.  I'd have to go back to JoAnn's anyway, either for more green or for the Packer fleece.  I offered to get the Packer fleece, and she was thrilled.

Then I posted the picture of Luke jumping on the hats we'd cut out and a few people saw it and asked, "Can we get Packer hats, too?"

Well, yes you can, because...

Kristal Melbye is in the Packer Hat making business now!
