Iminei, you have the patience of a saint.  Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
Life's too short for ironing.

What a lovely village.  I want to move there.  Can you do lambs?  In wool, of course.   :D

Rude not to and since you're going to be there anyway....  :)

Progress is being made Ladies (and Germs, if there are any in here)

I have discovered that Elvis can do very wee lettering as well as large  0_0 but that does make my attempt at the pubs sign look rubbish, so now, as well as having unpicked and re made the porch of the pub, I am thinking about the sign and how I can possibly ...ahem ... alter ... it!!



Unpicking wont be an option with all that satin stitch going on so I'll have to put my thinking cap on.
I need to buckle down as the entry forms need to be in by June 1st and I want the top 99% complete by then.

As you can see its grown a little (I blame the warm weather)

I don't see what's wrong with the pub sign...? It's on such a small scale, it isn't screaming, 'Look at me!', and looking out of place.

It's looking good...and I love the added farm. Great polytunnels  0_0 .  I was trying to think of the significance...if any...of the farms name.
Ah! Yes. I've got it.  <3

Gosh this is beautiful @Iminei . How about adding a horse or a cow (or two). If it's not too fiddly diddly to do, a cat and/or dog would not be out of place either. Do your villagers ride bikes?

My absolute favourites are the sheets drying on the washing line - the shape of them is so good, they actually look like they're blowing in the wind. Then, closely following them, I love the benches and umbrellas in the pub garden, plus the telephone box next door. Great work @Iminei . <3

**** WHY does no one tell me when you can't see the pics ???? ****

I think it would be quicker to erect a real sized Marquee, the time it took to make this



linky in case of misbehaving pics

But Im quite pleased as I had to dye the fabric (which was white) with tea to get that fabulous coffee colour!!!
