I'll post pics of those as soon as I find my darning needle so I can tuck the ends in and they look a bit less messy. For now, I secretly photographed the latch hook so you can have a peek at it. Max is helping, as usual.


Before I left I hadn't finished the left section all the way to the top, and hadn't started the next section at all. So I did get a fair amount done.

one for you and one for Max. Good to see your four footed assistant also.

lovely. that rug is going to be really beautiful. well done so far.

That will probably be a while. My DH works from home, so it's hard to find time to work on anything secretly.

very pretty!

I completed the "E" from the Princess Alphabet



And since learning how to do beads better from our wonderful members, I re-did the beads on the "A" as well with a full cross. It's significantly better.



And I got a fair bit done on the hummingbird. It's a Dimensions Gold collection so there are many colour changes and lots of backstitching. It seemed a chore at first, but as it's fleshing out a bit more I'm really starting to like it. The only part I still don't like much is the 1 over 1 instead of 2 over 1. But I decided to stick with the kit's instructions for now. There's some Krenik blending filament in the hummingbird's body and there's more to come. I found it much easier to work with than the DMC metallics. It didn't fray or separate and I changed colour a few times with the same strand of blending filament.

They are all looking so good. I love the hummingbird. and the letters are really pretty.

Your work is wonderful. The beads look super.

I owe that to your thread about using a full cross or a half stitch. I never thought about it, and then when I tried the full cross to better secure the beads I realized they would all line up now and look much better, so I redid the other one too!

The letters are lovely, and what a beautiful hummingbird!

Lovely letters and very neat beading I love your Hummingbird, the back stitch on the wings is so effective.

They are all looking so good. Great job.

The letters are lovely but the hummingbird is absolutely beautiful
