Someone told me to cover those ends with a bow but when you have a finish like this, it doesn't quite work. I used tape once and was not happy with it at all. Must be a better way! I can't see any problems with your egg and it is adorable!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101990651665004627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534635489693943580.post-13876840227503979182011-03-27T19:11:05.282-04:002011-03-27T19:11:05.282-04:00The egg is so eggciting!

It'll get easier with practice. Did you have trouble with the trip unravelling or freying? If so next time put a strip of tape around it before cutting then cut the tape in the middle, tuck the ends under so they don't show.Dani - tkdchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304768491192625890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534635489693943580.post-13523711744006997262011-03-25T11:51:51.823-04:002011-03-25T11:51:51.823-04:00The little chicks ornament is just adorable, and y...The little chicks ornament is just adorable, and your finishing looks just great too.

Its usually because I am not happy with the way my finishing turns out... I guess I need a lot more practice. :)Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222033866586789682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534635489693943580.post-68096035328583123682011-03-24T23:28:19.911-04:002011-03-24T23:28:19.911-04:00I think your egg turned out fabulous Lynn :) I lo...I think your egg turned out fabulous Lynn :) I love these PS designs but haven't done any of them yet. I understand your frustrations over finishing, it's taken me many years of practice to feel comfortable but I still worry. Try a little piece of clear tape on the ends the next time but be sure to cut as close as possible to the edge so that too much of the tape doesn't show and then glue it down. This way it doesn't fray and sits nicely along the edge. Hope this helps? Let me know if you have any other questions and I can try to help :)<br /><br />Ugh, the snow was awful and being in Mississauga we got the most, a crazy 23cm! It's Spring right???<br /><br />Love the pinkeep you made for the TUSAL, what a wonderful prize that is going to be!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443013442760859928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534635489693943580.post-30436567013674859302011-03-24T22:36:17.891-04:002011-03-24T22:36:17.891-04:00Your little chicks are so precious, Lynn--great jo...Your little chicks are so precious, Lynn--great job on your ornament. Finishing those little things is so time-consuming and, believe me, I feel your frustration. For as many as I've done, I still get nervous! <br /><br />Love your pinkeep, too! We had more snow here today--ugh! It's almost April, but you would never know it. On top of that a tornado touched down less than an hour from here yesterday...This is the craziest weather!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534635489693943580.post-21509175558540541982011-03-24T22:23:42.021-04:002011-03-24T22:23:42.021-04:00Both of your pieces are just darling.

Someone is<br />going to be very happy when <br />they win this draw ... hope <br />that it's me!! :)<br /><br />Your By The Bay Needleart<br />pinkeep turned out great too.<br />That's such a pretty design<br />isn't it? Since seeing <br />your various finished projects <br />from this designer I've become<br />interested in picking up a few<br />of them too. <br /><br />I'd also like to order some of<br />Tra La La's designs after seeing<br />your Maison No. 4. I've done<br />some exploring to see what <br />else this new-to-me designer<br />has created and I love all of<br />her stuff. Where did you get<br />yours?? It doesn't seem as<br />though my regular sources sell<br />them and boy oh boy are they<br />expensive in the overseas<br />on line shops!! Ouch!<br /><br />Did you get the snow from that<br />(slightly-more-then-we-bargained<br />for-and-just-who-was-it-ordered<br />-all-this-freakin'snow anyways) storm yesterday?? <br /><br />Say hi to Clarisse for me!<br /><br />Cheers!!Crazee4bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978860714766853681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534635489693943580.post-25107586327929873052011-03-24T18:52:08.105-04:002011-03-24T18:52:08.105-04:00I love the finish on your egg!
