Hi from South Australia…

Mary Wigham - JoolzJust had a go at inserting a picture – think it may be a bit big.  This is my MW todate – I hope to have a stitching day tomorrow – daughter out of the house, husband out of the house, me home alone!  Lets see how I go.

I am in awe of some of the finished Mary’s – I love the Japanese one and I also love the one that is in reds and browns.  Very effective.

Cheers – Joolz

Problems with photo’s

Posted by joolzmac on July 27, 2009

Hi all, it seems not all of you have the ability to add photo’s though I know some of you can, not sure if it’s because you already have wordpress blogs and identities?

Anyway, I think we’ll need to get round the photo thing for now by people emailing me their photo’s or posting them onto their own blogs and letting me know and I’ll cut and paste photo into posts.   My email is ladynian at optusnet dot com dot au.   This will work ok, as I have to approve any of your posts anyway, so can easily add photo’s. ..   Frou

 

23/7  Testing, testing, one, two, three!  Is this thing on??

I am having a go at loading a picture up and trying to follow Ladyfrou’s instructions.

I am in the ‘New post’ screen (visual) and couldn’t find the Add Image button.   I had to click on the ‘Hide/Show Kitchen Sink’ button at the end of  B, I, etc which then bought up more buttons – the Add an Image is now there.

25/7   Still trying to fathom this out.  The Add Image button is greyed out so I don’t think I can put a picture up from this screen.  I’ll hit publish and then try another post.

 

Cheers – Joolz.

Mary Wigham in country South Australia

Posted by joolzmac on July 18, 2009

Hello,

I started my Mary Wigham a few weeks ago but unfortunately time has not been on my side.  I plan to sit and do a bit tonight – its cold and wet and perfect stitching weather.  I am in awe of the MW’s I have seen on the Needleprint site – so much imagination with colour.  I have opted to go with the palette that was set with  DMC cottons on 18 count Aida (poor eyesight).  I am new to WordPress so I need to work out how to upload a picture.  I have a blog at www. simplyjoolz.blogspot.com if anyone would like to visit.

Cheers & happy stitching,

Joolz
