    Thanks all, I will forgive you!! :D

    agree with craftygranny padster, use the point of a compass if you have one, or a drawing pin maybe? might be tricky placing the holes though

    Thanks for that - just found this - idiots guide at the bottom suggests a pin board pin - will try tomorrow.

    Although I do have a compass somewhere...................
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Gemm will try and get a card done for the challenge in the next couple of days.
    Rusty I have tried to leave comments on your latest cards but can't see all of the verifcation word or the box to put it in.
    PLM your bauble is gorgeous
    Haven't had chance to check blogs today will catch up with them tomorrow
  • Rusty - have you tried going into your blog settings? - there's an option to remove the word verification. I've had the same problem as dragonllew - can't see all of the verification word (only the top half of the letters) anad nowhere to type it in.:confused:

    mary-op - faux stitching is drawn in with a felt-tip pen. :o I feel bad when everyone else has gone to the effort of real sewing, but Gemma did say we could fake it!

    PLM - I love your bauble, it really is a treasure to keep x

    I've checked my exam timetable, and discovered that tomorrow's exam is in the afternoon (I thought it was at 9.30 in the morning), so I'm taking a break now. :D
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)
