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

Aww, this is really cute, TB and you're getting on great with it. Looking forward to seeing the faces finished!

Looks great hun

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!

looking forward to pictures

Its lovely Im sure any little girl will it

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...)

Yes there are fractionals, but just think of the challenge it could present ... or, you could even invent new squashy stitches as you go!

She is a very cute little girl, and I think it will make a lovely gift

This is really sweet, wondering where the bling will be

Sigh!!!
I might have to join the UFO club with this.
But anyhow here's where we left it last time:


Here's where I'm at now:


As you can see, not much progress at all, which is why I'm thinking the UFO club might be the only way to force myself to get on with it!

Progress

TB don't get disallusioned every stitch you do is a stitch closer to finishing.

You will get on with it, I am sure!

Thanks both!
Have you spotted the bling?

Oh I am so happy that she is back. This is going to look so cute!!!!! However you need to do this to finish it, that is the best thing to do.

Don't give up now, I would love to see this one finished she is so cute.

Great work

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?

Aww, thanks everyone.

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!
