Does anyone know where I can find some smallish dragon charts (sort of like a guardian dragon - see below link) or perhaps a mythical alphabet.

Had a wee quick google and come up with these....

Thank you, I had a look but still not quite what i'm after. I think I want cute but not childish as Dyi sees himself as a little dragon. yes this is a 36yr old man we're talking about, lol. I had seen the cute lil green dragon on the last link.

This is why I should learn to chart my own, always like elements of other designs. lol

What about finding a normal picture you like and then using the free charting programme to chart your own then...xx

Yup, thats one thing i'm thinking of doing.

Not got any stitching done as per usual but I have knitted my first loopy scarf so am quite proud of myself, especially as I did it all by myself (well with a youtube helper at my side!)

Can't stitch tonight for watching the diving - I have no idea how they judge it cos I would give them all a 10 just for going to the top board and jumping off

It was soooo good, although I am a bad person for hoping the American would make a huge mistake :rotfl:Nice to see Tom and his team so pleased to get a bronze medal (unlike the Qui Bo (sp?) who was GUTTED to get silver!)

I agree louise - what a miserable chap to spoil all Tom's pictures.

Started to stitch the cards with variegated thread from the latest Cross Stitch Card Shop tonight but not very impressed with how they've turned out. Will have another look in the morning in the daylight and see what I think.

Night all

I was out for a family meal last night so recorded the diving but saw the news when I got in about Tom's medal and was :D :j:T:beer:.

I went to bed hoping Qui Bo would have a tantrum and decide he didn't want his medal (so throw it off the 10 metre diving pool) meaning Tom's got upgraded to silver

I'm looking forward to doing some cross stitch later once all my boring chores are done.
