Also, tb, I found a link to a website I sometimes use for planning out amounts of stitched text http://www.crosstitch.com/fontform.html.
You can type in the name etc, choose a font, and it generates a .pdf file with a gridded chart of the stitched text. Thought you might find it useful
Oh Daz, that's really going to help me!
Thanks!!
No problem, just glad I could help.
Just as an example, I used the site to plan the titles for my Torchwood and Dr Who mini projects
Maybe adding faces will do the trick and make me like working on this better. It's not I don't like it, it's just that I want to be working on the dogs and to get started on my Haed.
Anyhow, I decided I'm going to add a little bling to it, that's always a winner with me but I won't tell you where it is, see if you can find it in the next update picture I put up!

True, but what about the fractionals then ? (Just remembered there may not be any in there, but I don't like the style where the backstitch crosses over full cross stitches with bits of the cross stitch sticking out, so I would have put them in anyway -- mind you, if it's that small you probably wouldn't notice that they werent fractionals...)

Keep going! You're doing great. Have you blended filament with the white to make it sparkly... is that the bling you were talking about? Am i need of a new brain?
I think really my problem is just that I haven't had alot of stitching time this year with one thing and another, so when I do, I just want to stitch my dogs and start my HAED.
It's not like it's horrible to do or even that I don't like it, it's just that I want to spend the time on my other projects.
Anyhow, I'm going to be really strict with myself. I will not even kit up my Haed, let alone dare to start it until this one is done!!
Hopefully, that'll MAKE me get on with it!
