Well - 5 items finished is still a good amount! The "H" - looks like one
of the Sweetheart Tree alphabet kits - did you add the "hilda" ? I'm
doing
"D is for Dog" - go figure.

They're very cute nice kits! Your stuff looks very nice.

I did D is for Dog and changed Puppy to Puff and made the ears and tail a
little longer and fluffier to look more like him. They're really cute kits
and make up very nicely.

Too cute. You sound like me - I'm always altering the animals to be
reflective of Puckster, or whatever other animal is in our life and
appropos. I think once you start doing it, it's not that difficult - but
the first time can be tricky.

Did you frame the finished piece? I'm just starting mine - I needed
something as distraction from all the canvaswork and "serious" counted
thread work. And this is definitely doable/finishable quickly.

Are the rest of their kits as well put together?

Yes. We have about all of them in the shop, and they're very clever with
different motifs for the letter, curlicues, etc. They all have that same
linen, with thread, though the threads may vary - how much white, taupe,
some perle . Anyhow, I like them a lot - they're good kits, IMOSHO.
