Hand Sewn Ears going away at the end of the year...

[Alex]

The best hat writing story I have is from Walt Disney World. As some of you know, Lani likes her Stitch and frequently has one with her at the parks and they are frequently dressed appropriately as well (the Disneyland Host outfit was quite popular among Disneyland Hosts).

She has a small set of Mickey Ears that fits her backpack Stitch perfectly and this is what she had with us on one of our trips out there. I walked into one of the hat stores, and said "I know you probably can't but we were wondering if there was any way to get this embroidered."

Technically not allowed but it became a whole store activity. She went into the back and fetched their best stitcher (har har) and he practiced for a little while on some cloth (since this hat is so small he really wasn't used to it) and then did it perfectly.

Completely made Lani's trip.

It's too bad too, because the chances of that happening in the machine only future is probably not possible no matter how much the staff would like to help.
