    OK, I can't find tips on how to post a pic anywhere! Every time I've tried, it just comes up as a box with a red cross in it. Can anyone help???? I wanted to show you what I stitched....

    Sorry I cant help not techy at all. Surprized noone has been along to let you know. Perhaps if you search the threads you might find some tips as it is a frequently asked question.

    I do like to see others work!

    I'd love to see what you've stitched!!! I leared how to add photos using rosekittens instructions on page 33 of the 'does ayone know how I can make this?' thread... http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=622943&highlight=flannel+cupcake&page=33

    I am not technical at all but managed to get photos on here using these fab instructions :D Really looking forward to seeing what you've stitched :j

    Try www.cross-stitching.com for free charts
    One of the mags gave away a free mini Heffalump kit ages ago, so might find one on Ebay going cheap.

    Thanks for your help! Eventually found my chart going on ebay lol. Got it for £1.50 inc. p&p so not bad at all :) Thanks for the advice, would never have thought of looking for back issues of cross stitching magazines :)
