ps - I have mastered how to add my photos to the flikr group but I see that some people are able to link the flikr pictures to this forum so they show up here too. How is this done? I am not the most technical minded sometimes!!

Open the photo you want and click on the share this photo icon - where this appears seems to vary according to the device you are using but look in the bottom right or top right as a start. Click on BBcode and then copy the code that appears. I usually select the medium size. Then paste that code into your message here and preview the message - your photo image should appear

Hope this works - good luck

finally got round to putting some photos on the puter.

this is what im working on at the mo



and this is a recent finish - a work friend is getting married in the holiday so i made her this cushion (i was hoping the wording i chose wasnt going to cause offence - i googled muslim weddings to get ideas) luckily she loved it



did this one a few years ago for my mum in law as she was into lace making at the time


and this one is my 2014 'ort' jar WIP - cant remember what the ort stands for now, but basically its all the little ends i cut of as i finish this years projects

A wee quickie I done for one of the girls at work who got engaged.



Not part of the challenge but thought I share - it is only 2½" round.

Hey all

I know I put these on flikr but just having a go at sharing them here too to see if I can make it work!!!
This first one was my bridesmaid bouquet which I made 3 of...

These next two were my own bridal bouquet I was so proud of it!! I used fabric roses to match my bridesmaids but incorporated buttons, pearls, my grans vintage earrings and brooches as well as feathers to make it a bit more special. I wrapped the handls in pearls and although you can't see it here, I attached small photos of my father, grandfather, grooms aunt and best friend to the base of the flowers. All of whom have passed and it meant my dad could walk down the aisle with me!

Lovely bouquets bex. I just heard today of someone who also had photos in her bouquet of family members who had passed. It's a lovely idea.

Lovely makes everyone. Not had a chance to do anything this week and now it's the last week of our summer holidays and I haven't done half of what I wanted to do. Never mind winter soon and that means long nights snuggled on the sofa with the cross stitch lol.
