What phone do you have Chicky? I'll have a little look for you x

samsung soul u-900. cheers.

i've downloaded the new pc suite (can't see phone), the old pc suite (can't see phone). taken em all off (nothing), tried all 3 settings (mass storage, pc suite, ask on startup) from phone menu all with nothing.

the cable works as it will charge my phone.

sooooooooo confuzzzzled.

tis windows 7 - but it used to work with windows 7 so not a compatability issue - wondering if its my phone that has lost some info?!

Maybe it's the new cable... is it definitely the right one?

should be - it fits ok. yup "USB Data Cable for Samsung G600 G800 F480 U900 M150 M20"

Mine only works when I pick "use as hard drive", then it appears as another drive on "My Computer".

Was there a special version of the software to download for Win7?

I'm loving looking at all these wish lists

Does anyone know if there's a Hampshire map chart available?

Yes indeed:



It's designed by Classic Embroidery and is £23.84 on Sewandso.

Apocosaver - I think the Dimensions Gold Collection are the nicest wintry scenes and I love the Mr Men samplers too - although may have to wait a while to get onto my wishlist...

chickywiggle - ooh, map of the UK sounds tempting. I might be in touch

nannon - haven't looked at the US sites for the stockings. It's shame they're so expensive coz I think they are stunning.

Hey everyone hope you're all well? I was just wondering of anyone had done Murky Manor? Having a nosey at it on sewandso but the list of threads etc is very expensive (mostly Anchor). I was lucky enough to get a huge box of DMC threads for my christmas so wondered if there'd be much difference if I replaced the Anchor with DMC? There are some other threads listed which I wouldn't mind buying, but at 62p each for the Anchor threads I *do* grudge paying that lol! Was thinking that if it wouldn't be okay I'd just go through accrosstown but thought I'd rather use what ive already got IYSWIM?
Also I HATE evenweave with a passion, would it matter if I changed to a nice 14count dyed aida instead of the 28count linen?
Sorry for the long post lol xx

Morning all :wave:

just a quick post before work! so glad its Friday :j :j

Since the forum is down for maintenance tomorrow, I am thinking of doing my housework tomorrow morning with a bit of cross stitch in the afternoon and a WHOLE day of stitching on Sunday

I started a bookmark kit this week but I am not happy with it. Its proper bookmark aida that I am using which came with the kit - it has those funny scallop things at either side but when stitching, the bookmark aida doesn't have the usual firmness I have found aida has ? Has anyone else found this with bookmark aida ? I am thinking of scrapping what I have done and starting again on a normal piece of aida. Because there have been lots of random stitches of one particular colour (only 2 or 3 in anyone place), the back has become VERY messy which is unusual for me and I just don't feel happy with it the stitches sit ok but it just doesn't feel/look right ? and its awful to stitch on.

Smart thinking re the housework. Might do the same myself.

Re the bookmark i think if i'd done quite a bit i'd hate to waste it so i'd grit my teeth and finish it then put some iron on interfacing on the back to cover the stitching and give it more stiffness.
