How is everyone going?

Hi all,

How are we all going with our Mary’s?

Will admit I’ve neglected Mary shamefully the last few weeks.   Am busy at work and tired by the end of the day, so find counting cross stitch to exhausting.   What little cross stitch I am doing is a simple one colour design from The Gift of Stitching – South Seas Lace.

But mostly I am doing a lot of stitchery – good old back stitch and just following the lines.

What about everyone else?

Problems with photo’s

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.

Hello fellow stitchers!

Well, I think a few of us are up and running.   I know I am, slowly!

You can see my progress on the Mary Wigham Sampler SAL below – haven’t finished Part 1 yet, but am still happy with my progress, as it’s been a long time since I did so much cross-stitch.  I’m not using the recommended DMC threads, but created my own conversion using Gentle Art Shaker Threads.

A little bit about me:
I’m a slightly crazed quilter, who has been bitten by the cross stitch bug badly. I used to do a lot of cross stitch in my teens, as well as knitting and other crafts, but have been focussed on quilting for a long time. Am having a bit of a love affair with Quaker cross stitch patterns at present. You can find me and all my unfinished projects on my blog Zen of Needle and Thread.
