  • Here is my first pic of the new HAED. It's called Forest Walk. It's not much to look at at the moment but watch this space!

  • Hello there, I wonder if anyine could help me please. I am trying to find a cross stitch chart to make this wedding ring cushion in the Rennie Mackintosh design:

    [URL="javascript:ShowPopUp('info%5f313%2ehtml',800,600);"]k250-mackintosh-wedding-ring-cushion-300px.jpg[/URL]

    I can't seem to find it, have only managed to find the kit for sale at £21.49 which isn't very MSE for the wedding!!
    Do any of you know where I could find one, I would be very much grateful.
    Thanks

    Wen_Tom - thank you so uch for all your effort in scanning and sending those emails, it must have taken you ages. :T:T:T

    I hate to mention :o - but could you double check your outbox to see if the Peter Pan one sent? Only one page came through to me (but all the Snow White one is there)

    If it's any hassle, then please don't worry about it, and thanks again for the Snow White one:T -

  • started a pincushion with a pretty flower basket picture on it, theres a scissor keeper to go with it in the shape of a girl in a long dress. hoping to get it done in time for MIL for mothers day.
    Done the edge border the scattered flowers and individual stitches and the basket just working on the flowers in the basket now. Any suggestions on what to stuff it with theyve supplied the backing calico but just said use suitable stuffing. thank you:)

    my Dad was pleased with his tractor picture

    Well, you can take the insides out of an old stuffed toy. Or you can buy bags of stuffing - my local market used to do a bag of the stuff for £1 lol - Hobbycraft is more expensive. Or, I always have plenty of wadding for backing pictures, so last time I needed stuffing, I pulled wadding apart and used that. It was quite good cos it doesn't 'bunch' up like normal stuffing can

    Glad your Dad liked his Tractor :T

  • ive got some stuffing i can use in that case, i have a bag i use for the knitted stuff i do. wasnt sure if it needed to be heavier for a pin cushion. For some reason i had it in my head they were stuffed with sand or sawdust:o
    sand would blunt the pins wouldnt it

    I thought sand would help keep the pins sharp?
