Cornish_mum said:Hi Fortune, I just caught up with your diary, so sorry to hear about your hair and leg. The Westie is super cute but I am with MrF on the cat I am afraid.Thank you for the inspiration to make surprise presents for friends. I can’t paint so I am going to copy the Chocolate Brownie idea (as I think they are quite postable) and make a batch on Friday night for the Saturday morning post.CM
What a lovely idea @Cornish_mum. These were the ones we received through the post and we were delighted with them.

I'm with Mr.F about the kitty's head - and that was after putting my reading glasses on to double check - lol
Thank you @rtandon27 - I could see it myself after Mr F pointed it out to me. I think it's a bit like looking at one of those perspective pictures where it can be a rabbit or a duck depending on how you look at it. Which would be great if that's what I'd intended 😆

Thanks guys - so helpful. I read your comments just in time, I was about to take the paint remover to him 😲 Mr F thinks he is improved too so I will varnish him up and see how he looks. He's for a good friend and I don't want to give her anything sub-standard. I still have a French Bulldog (for a neighbour) and a cow (for friendly farmer) to do but the designs are relatively simple so they shouldn't take long.
