First Try

Post by Squirrel »

Well here goes with a link to 2 of my recently completed pieces.

http://s810.photobucket.com/albums/zz22/ausiegir2006/" target="_blank

mmm don't think that will work. Back to the drawing board.
I can't seem to find out how to get it from photobucket to here.
I've no idea how to copy/paste anything and can't find on ph bucket where it says to do it, even if I could. This old head is going around and around.

In photobucket, click on the 'IMG code' below the photo you want using the right side of your mouse and select 'copy' - then go to the forum post you're writing and click the mouse's right hand side again and select 'paste'.

You will only see the 'link script' but when you hit 'post' it will appear like magic!! :D :x:

Thanks for the encouragement friends. I am just so relieved to get something up finally.

As for The Hobo he is getting more likeable. So much confetti and most of the upper back ground is single thread half stitch.
Down on His Luck (its official title) is from a painting by Frederick McCubbin- the kit was from Country Threads and took 14 months to do for DS 3.

Hopfully by the time I am ready to post pics of an 18th birthday gift (yet to be started and needed mid Aug) Kevin will have sorted out my "copy and paste" problems as well as a few other things.
