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?

Lucille

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.

I found a plain, white wash frame on e-bay that wasn't particularly
expensive. I forget the name of the seller but I know she had lots of
small, inexpensive frames in the odd sizes like 3 x 3 and 5 x 5. Maybe I
was smart enough to bookmark the store.

I'm not much of a photographer but I'll try to get a picture of it on RCTNP.

Sounds like a good choice. In the shop we have a bunch of 4". 5" & 6"
frames, which one of our regular framers has done a deal with the shop-owner
for. They're only $20, with a piece of foamcore, and UV acrylic glazing.
Nice moldings - so for little things - they're very handy. I tend to look
around, or do a lot of soft finishes of late.

It is one of the Sweetheart Tree alphabet series, "H is for Heart", but
I made it for my Mom, and her name is Hilda... so I changed it
