Looking good!!
Are you doing the satins in two strands? I find them very difficult in two, but they are much easier in one strand - I'm using them on 18ct for my Summer Ball, and the coverage is fine, in fact its way too lumpy in two strands on that count.

Looks lovely. I haven't worked with satin threads but it looks like it would be worth the extra effort. Pretty fruit.

Satin threads can be extremely annoying but they do have a lovely sheen. The fruit looks lovely, so bright and colourful!

They might be a hassle but it sure looks fantastic!

Yes, I am doing the satins in 2 strands - at least using the loop method it's easy to start them off, just fiddly to do the rest of the stitching!
Anyway, here's a small update - I stitched the mouse and the butterfly last night.

for both mouse and butterfly. The mouse is so cute and the butterfly is so pretty. That is a lovely shade of blue.

Another small update - the stag's antlers were horrible to do, all fractional stitches!

Great job on the antlers. Its been so long since I've done a lot of fractionals I forget how trying they can be sometimes, but with the backstitching they are perfect.
Love the updates on this one.

The antlers are very neat and the whole design is looking great. Very neat stitching as usual
