Millie The Pooh
Here's another project I've started for my mum for Christmas. Its a picture of our dog millie (aka 'the pooh') that I've adapted for XS.
Its so unnecessarily complicated - even more so than HAED!!! ...and still very unsure if its turning out quite as I wanted (as its VERY dark).
Here's what its supposed to look like (although this pic isn't very good and there is quite alot of background that isn't shown because i took it in the dark).
...and here is how far i've got. There is an awful lot of work in this although it doesn't look like it in this picture.....

Re: Millie The Pooh
I can assure you that it does look like a lot of work that you have done. You can already see her nose and one eye. It looks great.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
Re: Millie The Pooh
I think it looks great! I hope it turns out the way you want it to.

Re: Millie The Pooh
It looks like a great deal of work to me and has the feel of looking at a photo.

Re: Millie The Pooh
It does look good, Nic! I can see half of the face already...
...and it certainly looks as complicated as your HAED
Happy stitching!

Re: Millie The Pooh
How did you adapt the pictre Nic? Which program did you use?
I would love to do one of my dog and my mum's dog together, but I tried a freebie XS program trial and it was so complicated to me, I couldn't understand what it was asking me.
I have to say that this looks fabulous already and I can see that it's hard work, but it will be well worth it for sure.
Don't know why you think it might not turn out well, it looks amazing already! honestly, it's great!

Re: Millie The Pooh
Thanks everyone - definitely feeling alot more positive about it now!
I adapted the picture in Photoshop as this picture was taken in the kitchen and had a washing machine in the background (definitely not something I would want to stitch in detail). You can't see it in the picture i've added but its got a vignette background on it which will save me alot of stitching!
Threadbear - if you want to send me your picture, i'm more than happy to convert it into a pattern for you.

Re: Millie The Pooh
the detail is beautiful, can tell it's taken a lot of hard work, good luck with the rest!
Re: Millie The Pooh
It's fantastic Nic it looks so good already, well done
Re: Millie The Pooh
It's looking fantastic so far Nic. I am working on a very detailed piece at the moment and I keep complaining it doesn't look right but hubby says it's because I'm working so close with it. If it's held away or even if I take photo's of it I can see it. Keep up the good work
Re: Millie The Pooh
Cheers everyone!
Sammy - there is loads you can do with Photoshop. I used to be a graphic designer so know my way round it quite well, but have a play around with it and you'll see you can basically do anything!
If you want me to do anything for you, let me know hun x
