Are these them?

You need to use the "share" button on the photo and copy and paste the BBCode into your reply on here. The Medium size is usually best.

Yes!:T Thank you very much. I think I did something like that but I'll have another go and follow your instructions to the letter and see if I can get it to work, so that I know what I am doing next time lol.

Took me a while, but finally worked out what I was doing wrong, I was clicking the 'image' icon and pasting the link in the pop up box, didn't realise I just posted the link straight into the post!!! What an idiot lol!!

Thanks again Mags_cat for your help:D

Ali, your projects are lovely!

Thank you all for your thoughts on Teddy McTed Face. He's going in the box tonight (no needle left in the fabric) and I shall start something new. I need to unpick the paws, and I just haven't got the mental capacity to do it right now, or find the threads! So onwards and upwards. I have a bigger fairy, which I have been looking forward to starting so she'll be coming out tonight. But she needs a name

What I really need are some projects with no back stitch. Any suggestions from you wonderful people?

Hi,
Ayeshalush,
What a cute little penguin and pretty rose,have you decided what the next project is going to be?
Coffeeandstitches,
Just put it to one side,do something else,when you go back to it with fresh eyes you'll wonder why you left it!
The little dinosaur are looking good,GS no1 will love it,he took a real interest when I was stitching the elephants,trying to work out how I knew where to put the stitches on a plain piece of fabric,he said it was magic!
Have a good night all x

You're completely correct I'd rather put it to one side now, and enjoy finishing it when the time comes than struggle through with it now and resent it at the end!

P.s. where are the dino pics!!

Hi,
Coffeeandstitches
Not very good at technical stuff,camera is temperamental at best,but I will try,not sure what to use,some of you use flicker and others use photo bucket is that correct.
Help which is best!

I use Flickr, but I did find it a bit fiddly to get the hang of, but now I w worked it out it seems pretty easy! Can't comment on photo bucket I'm afraid, not tried it.

It was one of those days today in the office when the motivation was sadly lacking and instead I wanted to be at home stitching. Now that I am home of course, I'm too tired and grumpy to stitch ! Typical.

I got excited the other day when I visited the H0bbyc7aft website as the mini kits I spotted in store were online (but with much more choice). However of the various designs they had, only a couple of them were in stock :mad:

I have Friday off as me time and need to decide whether I spring clean my junk room or sit on my sofa all day and stitch?

What sort of designs do you want to stitch? Flowers? Scenes? Fantasy? Cute? Etc etc

I agree with putting Teddy away for a while. No point wasting valuable stitching time on something you're not enjoying
