Finishing a Latch Hook Rug

Today my order from Herrschners Inc. arrived including the iron on rug binding.  I needed two packets to cover all four sides of the African Elephant Latch Hook but the end result looks a lot better that trying to use sew on binding.  It is also a lot quicker.  This Latch Hook Rug has been finished as a wall hanging or a floor rug as I have also added the fibre lock to the back of it to give it a non-slip backing.  This latch hook is being donated for an auction prize at the 2017 Tintern Grammar Fair in April.

Another latch hook completed today.  Waiting for my rug finishing tools to arrive so that I can do the edging on them all.

Last count there were eighteen different ones waiting for the edges to be done.

Cake Decorating ...

Little Miss turned 5 today.  A big day for her and a big day for me too.  I have loved watching this little person grow into the independent big girl she is now (not allowed to call her a little girl any more).

I didn't make the cake but I did add the strawberries and smarties on top.  I am not a cake decorator. I still remember trying to decorate Miss 8's first birthday cake and it was so warm that the lollies almost fell off.

I hope everyone is having a great week.
