It sounds like your neice is doing cross stitch. The back is supposed to he neat but it can get messy if you are not exacting. If she puts it in a frame you won’t see the back. Just let her enjoy it. She will improve along the way

LOL @Oaktree , nah. She's just doing her own stitch - it's the 'short cut' stitch to life... that's her all over!
So I just walk away and tell her it looks good (from the front)

Hey @tyme
I am great. My role play went so well today and tomorrow is the last one. I am excited for 3 weeks off. I don’t go back to Tafe till the 24th and then I have a little holiday coming up between the 28th and the 31st July. Going to miss one day of Tafe but I checked with my lecturer that that would be ok. We are going to a town down south west Western Australia

Congrats! I recently completed some role plays including one to faciliate group therapy. We needed at least 6 people in the group, and one of the role plays was for the faciliator (me) to handle conflict @Oaktree . It was the hardest, but it was also the most helpful. I've been in groups where there is conflict during group and the members really go off at each other. I remember the facilitator then stood up and put his hand between the two people who wouldn't stop arguing and going for each other. It really taught me a lot.
And I think that sort of scenario can be also considered in the light of the forums and in life in general.

@tyme
That’s great!
I know that I have had to try and handle some conflict or at least a breakdown in communication here. I have noticed that that person has gone MIA. Hope they are ok

I remember the facilitator sharing that conflict is a VERY VERY common scenario and that's why it's so so important as part of any training. @Oaktree
When I was completing my masters, conflict was an ENTIRE unit. So I learnt a lot from that and it's really helped my practice.
