Oh it turned out so beautifully!! Really ... well done.

As an aside, can you not get Elmer's glue down there? Hmmm ....

Hi Meg, nice to see you

Love the hat and it looks wonderful on!

The hat looks great, well worth it! Hope that next year it brings better cricket on field and far less antics off field. I almost felt pleased when India won the one-day series, the whole season was so disappointing because of the sniping and carrying on. Sigh.

Ermmm, being totally not into cricket - I can just say, I LOVE your hat.

Oh fabulous, Meg! Now that's a lovely sun hat! All that details in the finishing really paid off.

That's quite an impressive project. It always seems to be the finishing that gets me down, and there's so much finishing there!

Fabulous! What a lovely pattern. It looks wonderful on you as well. Sounds like quite a project; kudos to you for sticking with all that finishing!

i'm surprised that elmer's glue is considered an exotic american treat in your part of the world!

your hat turned out so beautifully...i kind of want to make it now for our summer, which is still a few months off!

I really enjoyed The Journey of The Hat!! In the first picture, for a minute, I thought it was a footy oval with a tent on it!!!
You look especially nice when modelling the hat and the dog!!!! Happy Footy season.

It's a wonderful hat. I won't even pretend to understand the cricket (bat and ball, right?) but am surprised that you only use Elmer's for special occasions. Here, every school child has a bottle that they use with abandon. I suppose I could mail some to you if you needed it. No need to ration it.

Hey! I know that good-looking hat from a much, much earlier post! Don't you feel dead chuffed that you've finished it and it's such a winner? Well done. Very impressive.
Sorry I didn't call by nearer the date of this post - my computer access has been spasmodic of late.

Your hat looks fabulous! Good to read about the finishing process too- sometimes it's the little details that make all the difference.
