Ok, here is a picture of it unscrolled. Obviously the boarders add a bit extra to the size of the fabric, but I unscrolled the top boarder so you can see by how much.

Also, please excuse the blinds being in the way, they fell down on me this morning. And excuse the poor light I've lost ANOTHER bulb!

This one makes 8 since Christmas! Which coincidentally is also the time the shower stopped working....I'm wondering if the showers melted wires could have effected the light fittings wires some how because this is insane!

:shock: omg 8, maybe you should get an electrician in to check, it must be costing you a fortune on those bulbs :)

yeah, they're not cheap either, they're the most expensive bulbs I've seen as they're a special type of halogen rather than ordinary bulbs. I can't even find them, my dad has to pick them up for us.

So darkness looms again until I figure out how to get the 9th one in

I'll get my dad to have a looksee, or else the electrician coming to rewire the shower.

So do I. It's too expensive to keep replacing them *sigh*

But, on a plus note, on my stitching...I have done almost all the confetti stitching now. I found ONE stitch of white hiding in there and I still have to do one more strand of the light grey, but I can otherwise start the backstitch on it now.

Thank you muchly

So I said I started the backstitch last night, I haven't got much done, but here's a progress picture because It's made such a huge difference! Finally, the confetti stitches are pulling together to make something I can actually be proud of ^_^

Image

Took me forever to find my second photocopy though >_< My first photocopy is blacked out and I NEVER use the origionals as they get dirty and they're folded so they tend to get fragile.
