hi guys, i have got pictures to post, but can't find any fool proof instructions, and advice would be greatfully received as i would love to show you all what i've been up to...

Sorry I cant help you there as I had to have a step by step lesson(s), given by hubs, for ages and even now I get a bit lost:o I go through Photobucket if that's any help tho.

Hi everyone - still loving all your posts and pics.

I've finally got round to posting a pic of my first attempt at a tea cosy - it's a bit wonky but it works!
Thanks again to luxor4t for the instructions which gave me the confidence to have a go.

Hiya, you need to upload your photos to a hosting site, most people use www.photobucket.com. Its free to open an account.

Then, come back here to make a new post on this thread, above the box where you write a message there are several icons, if you hover over the yellow square one it will say "insert message". Click on that button, a box will then pop up and you need to put in the web address of the photo you want us to see. The picture will then be in the white box and you can press submit reply when you're ready.

If you need any more help just shout

I created a 'walkthrough' guide to help people post on this thread it's here:

I also know that there is a guide on MSE somewhere too (but don't know where to find it)!
