Re: Recent Finished and unfinished projects

I have actually managed to get some more of the snowy owl done, I will post a photo soon!

Thanks everyone.
Am heading off on our first family holiday tomorrow (my son is nearly 14 months) and will be taking the owl with me, will post an update when we get back....

Just joined, thanks, hadn't heard of this before!

Same, love the fabric and can't wait to see the finished project! I love dragons!

I wondered if that's what you meant. I did have some but gave them as gifts when selling some x-stitch on ebay, I will keep it in mind if I come across others and will mail to you.

Thanks everyone you have made my night xxxx

This snowy owl was meant for my Aunty's 60th birthday, but sadly she passed away just prior so it has taken a while for me to feel up to finishing it off, hopefully it will be finished soon and I will frame with a plaque in memory of her.

I'm just wondering what they are. I've not heard of them. Please let me know what they are and if I have any I can send them to you...

I am having trouble uploading the individual photos from my phone, but I have posted them on my blog instead... I'm hoping this works, sorry everyone!

Will be on holidays for July but will definitely have to make a point of getting stuff done in other months, I may still take my UFO with me on holiday to try to get it finished.

Ok, bit stuck, not sure how to upload an image direct from my computer??? Can anyone help me?

Thanks everyone, I will see if I can work it out, lol

The one piece of advice I can give is never ever cross stitch if you have to force yourself to do it because that's when you will make mistakes. Wait until you are in a state where you want to do some cross stitch or just want something to do, not because you feel you have to get it finished or ...

It's great to read all the different ways to wash without damage! I have always soaked overnight in some napisan then dried inside and ironed once dry, but I will keep all these other methods in mind too cos some of them will save a lot of time!

Are you able to post a pic of other 3 so I know what to look for?

Sorry, I feel really silly but what are cover kits?

Thank you, I will post my pics in the gallery, I hope that's the right place???

Have you tried making up a chart yourself? You could get some clear plastic (Scrapbooking places would have it for putting over photos to protect them) and rule even lines with a permanent texta, place over the top of a badge and put in your codes for the different colours.... just a thought.
