Very hard to see in this photo but you can just see the crashed antenna on the left!
This is the second piece of destruction for today, if you guessed Jimmy you are right! This was my favorite, my only winter hat, so soft and comfortable, possum wool brought back as a gift from New Zealand for me. To say I was cross is an understatement, it is a wonder I could not be heard from the other side of the world!!! Oh well I will have to go hatless for the rest of winter now! Jimmy luckily is being allowed to live!
I bought this magazine last week and had no intention of confessing to it! To be honest when I saw it was for a 'beginner' quilter and came with an instructional dvd I had to have it. I feel very inadequate with my quilting knowledge which is probably why I do a lot of stitching and rarely finish anything. I am also not great at asking for help! I was thrilled looking through the magazine to see it had 12 projects , each focused around one technique. Of the 12 projects only 2 of them don't interest me but that doesn't mean I won't attempt them. I thought I may work my way through the magazine giving myself 1 project a month to work on. In theory this will take 12 months (yes I can do math!) but I am planning to start in September so I can get fabric for the first quilt when I am out of town later this month. Let's see how I go!!!!

Sorry you lost your tv and your hat. Hope you get tv back soon and can find another hat that will work for you. Good luck with your quilting goals. Just remember the more you do the better you'll get.
Oh..I'm sorry about BOTH. I keep the TV on in the background for company when I sew and quilt. is the hat knitted? Can you unravel the yarn and reknit it? At least you would lose that lovely soft feel...even if it would be a diff fit. Let me know if you need 'assistance" (maybe its that HELP word you are resisting!) with your quilting. I am thinking of starting a quilting series. I want to so a series and am planning what traditional patterns to tackle.
Not game to peek out my windows to see what destruction there is but I bet it isn't as bad as yours...vbg. Found the board games for the kids did you....wicked grin. Ouch Jimmy - what a bad boy - fancy doing that to your favorite hat. Thought I heard some yelling in the wind Hope today is a better day.
Not good losing your aerial! Glad to hear that you are all safe though! Naughty Jimmy!
bugger about the aerial.....started a quilt from the book......
