@L-B ! Congrats!
I look forward to hearing how things go. It sounds like you are in a 'good' space mentally to approach this new job - is that fair to say?
@Oaktree - I love the artwork! Is that one of those hooks you use to hook the wool in?

You can purchase latch hook kits from Amazon Australia. Just don’t get too excited and buy lots like I did because they take a fair bit of time. It is a very mindful thing to do though

At this stage, I don't really have (or make) the time to do anything like that. I've got huge lego sets and diamond art sets I'm yet to complete, so NO new projects for me! @Oaktree
I just watch my niece do it, but it stresses me because the back of hers isn't 'neat'. She just rolls her eyes at me lol

@tyme
I can’t see the back of mine because it has a layer of rubbery stuff over it. But the back shouldn’t be messy.

My niece's doesn't have a backing, and she's got a very messy head. So her 'stitches' are everywhere @Oaktree . They move from one corner to the other!
If my nephew did it, it would be perfect. Have I told you about his bedroom? It's immaculate. And each morning, he makes his bed perfectly, then places his reading book, bible and another book at the end of his bed. He then prays each morning. He's done this all himself. He's super ordered....
Whereas my niece??? tragic story lol.
