Ruth_honey - I can see the difference - honest!!
That tree does look a bit fuller. I think I would have flung that one by now,:o it looks so frustrating!! Btw - what size is it, just so I can get a perspective on it?
I love the Bras, really comical - where did you get the design for that one? Is that the marker pen you have used for the grid lines?
ocemeer - Don't be embarrassed about having loads of UFO's - you are now one of us!!:rotfl:
I think it's lovely that you are going to finish off your great aunt's kits, I would love to see some progress photos to get an idea of the task you are setting yourself

Ruth_Honey - the Dictionary of Bras looks amazing! I'm tempted to buy this or the dictionary of cakes.
The kits from China do work out cheaper, though you do end up paying about £6 for postage and packaging.
I'll have to stop looking at Ebay/sewandso etc as I could spend a fortune!

*Louise* my great aunt (96) is an ex seamstress/tailor and needlework teacher who was still making lace until about 4 years ago - I have alot to live up to!
Am only allowed a piece at a time - my mum is going to post them to me but definatley will post progress and some of her stuff. I will try and get a photo of the tablecloth up today.
If I find unfinished lace I am going to be in a whole world of hurt. However I am going to have the best 'bottom drawer' out.0 -
Louise, you need to clear some space in your PM box!! :rotfl:
Thanks for your help with the images, I think I cracked it. I went back to my album and clicked on 'Link Options' and pretty much chose them all. I noticed there was IMG for bulletin boards and forums so I copied/pasted that link into a PM, previewed it and it worked.
There are 2 IMG options, clickable thumbnail and full size so I'll mess about with those and see which I prefer.
Thanks again
