Can anyone help - just gone on Pic2Point (the free photo - chart site) mentioned at the beginning of this thread and it doesn't work. Are there any other good ones to try?

My husband did me a chart of our cat on myphotostitch.com for our wedding anniversary and i've just started it, thinking the colour look a bit weird) and the WHITE is OLIVE GREEN!!!!

Please help - desperate to get on with this in the correct colours now!

Thanks

Wow Louise, just caught up and Medieval Lady is beautiful. Well done!

shelly

Louise. Well done for resisting and finishing the ML. She's lovely!

I got some decent stitching time in today. Just backstitch left to do now. Oh, apart from a few stitches in the edge of the shelf but I can't decide on the colour yet.

lovely louise are you glad you finished her ?

nmm

Hi guys, thanks for the lovely comments about the puppy and BD She is settling in really well and our other dog who is blind is getting along with her :T She is no longer called Bella, her proper name is Tikaani (Tika for short) which means wolf in Alaskan/Eskimo.

On cross stitch front, i failed my challenge but as its for me i have no deadline anyway, it'll be done when its done :rotfl:

Caroline, which Christmas ABC was it as it may have been in a magazine also.

Oh yes

That grass on the bottom left was a hard slog but it's nice to know something is completed and not another UFO :j

No more cards done The baileys was calling me from the fridge and as i dont drink when i have to drive the next day it needs to be finished before the kids return to school on wednesday or it might go off! You might say im doing money saving because if it went off it would be a waste of money!

sounds a good reason to drink it up Maria.
Very unusual name nmm,

Sorry bit later then planned.......... my review.

[FONT=&quot]CROSS STITCH CARD SHOP - Issue 86[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]
Free Gift - Although the snowman film is pretty good "walking in the air" makes me cringe. probably won't stitch it. so if anyone wants it with a **wink wink** of the chart for £1 to cover postage etc costs let me know.

Giraffe (The Wild Ones) - very cute quick stitch[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Animal Homes - I like the snail and mice ones. may be handy for christmas cards 2014.

Cheerful greetings - quite cute. I may stitch "christmas" (santa and elves) from our elf.

Patchwork cards - nope they don't appeal at all. the design is a lovely idea but the chosen motifs are awful.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Christmas Birds - birds with eyelashes............. pffft.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Christmas Trees - Agree with Louise about the detail. i do like the animals around the tree with santa flying away tho. And i realllly like the tree card aparture type cards they've used. hate the red dotty snowmen.

Nutcracker cards - nope not keen

Chistmas cupcakes.- said already - christmas 2013 cards. might even get em stitched while i remember.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Request a chart - ditto: Nothing there for me

A new leaf - not as cards but the ivy leaf has given me an idea for my "If" border.

Festive Food tags - I like them, but not sure i'd use them for tags..... or for anything come to that.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Sneak Peak at the next issue[/FONT][FONT=&quot] - the gift tags are quite cute. the christmas peg cards are simple and easy, not sure i'd use them tho. looking forward to the boofle chart as i love him. but other then that pfft. the fizzy moon free gift doesn't appeal to me.

I stitched quite a bit of the snowman free kit yesterday. I suppose (as daft as this sounds) - its one of those kits that if I don't stitch now, I never will.

What I will say however is that I don't have the slightest inclination to sing we are walking in the air as I'm stitching. Seriously where did they get that idea from?

So I don't actually have much planned for today. yes there is housework to be done but I don't feel inspired to do this at the moment and instead fancy the tv, sofa and my stitching. I'm also batch cooking to use up the veg etc that's in my fridge.
