Here is the picture complete with that dreaded hat!

So now all I have left to do is the background; sand to finish, sea and sky to do and then onto to tackle the back stitch.

:D I am really feeling like this just might get completed! :shock:




(wasn't sure if it was ok to post again or whether I should have edited my previous post :oops: ).

It's looking grand. Not much left to finish. I've already ordered the champagne.

And lolcats rule. My favourite place for laughs: icanhascheezburger.com/

The picture is finally stitched !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really never thought I'd do it, especially when the hat was such a problem.

Well, it's finished all bar the backstitch, which to be honest I am quite nervous to attempt. See previously on my small projects I either didn't do it or a friend added it for me.

This time I am going to do it myself. :shock:

Will upload a progress picture soon. :D

Don't dread the backstitching it really is not as bad as you may think and it really makes the picture complete. I really don't mind backstitching at all I like how it makes my work pop. :wink:

Well done you. Looking forward to seeing the final pic. Just take your time with the backstitch. I find it boring, but it does make a difference to the finish and is well worth it.
