I don't have a gallery Lacemaker. I'll have to investigate that soon.

You must set up your gallery, I had trouble with images until I found out that there is a maximum pixel size on there :oops:

Thanks everyone!
I really felt the help, advice and support that came from you all was very motivating. Whether I would have persevered without it is doubtful.


So thank you all!

Am unsure at the moment whether to get stuck in on one of my UFO's now or to start something new.
I'm really enjoying looking through the stash and mulling it all over though.

The finished piece is fantastic. See the backstitching is not nearly as bad as it may seem at first. Have fun figuring out your next project. New or old the next one will be fun to watch.

Yes, I was dreading the back stitch but found I actually quite enjoyed doing it. I just found it hard to figure the best place to start or end sometimes when you had to stitch bits that are far from each other. Other times it was fine. I'm sure all that comes easier with experience though.

So now I thought I'd just have a bit of fun doing a couple of the tiny free cards sets while deciding which project to attempt next.

Yes, I think that's what I'm going to do as well. It's fun to see something coming together so quickly as well. :D For my next project, I'm quite fancying trying a dolphin picture I have. The chart is in colours though and I'm finding it a bit hard to work out. :oops: I think I'm going to have to really study it thoroughly to make sure I know what I'm doing and where it's all going before attempting it, as I don't want to wreck it. I also quite like the look of one that came in with the stash gift my friend gave me.
Decisions, decisions!

I like to have small projects on the go as well. I tend to get several ready for when I feel the urge, but usually by the time I get to them I will have changed my mind and have to go through all my patterns again :roll:

Hadn't really thought much about framing it. It was a vague thought before I started it, but since I finished it I just laid it in an empty drawer. :oops:
