Elf in Wood - cross stitch

Many moons ago, one of my young dogs got a hold of my pretty lady.  I was devastated.  I put her up for about 9 months.  Working on other projects but always thinking about her.  The hole that is in her hair, left hand side will be covered up with "bling".  There is just no way to repair this gaping hole, it is shredded.  I have her "bling", but will not be adding it until I feel that the hoop will not disturb the repair.  I do have a great update to her, 1/2 done as of 11/7/16.
