OMG, it has been so long since I last posted!!!

First thing I have to do is learn to post all over again; hoping I don't have to customize my fonts and all that good stuff !!

I started my 151 Pokeman's counted cross stitch project back in April 2016. I have an old footstool that was made by my husband's grandmother.  It is well over one hundred years old so I thought it would be cool to cover with something from a much later era.  About one month ago I realized I calculated the size of the material INCORRECTLY. I am only half way through cross-stitching the pattern and I am on page 16 of 30 pages. That is what I need to cover my footstool and then I will not have enough fabric to finish the other 14 pages. If I purchase the same amount of material I can start with page 15 and continue on to page 30 and cover my circular piano stool with the second half of the 151 Pokeman's and then some. I will be posting pictures soon!

Promises, Promises, Promises.....

I promised to blog a little each day. Well--that didn't happen!


I guess I will have to start somewhere, so here is a look at my latest project. I was waiting because I need to post some pictures and somewhere I had come across a great tip on how to insert pictures so that picture sizes would all be uniform.

I am working on a large cross stitch project and I am having trouble with the symbols. The capital I and small L both show as l and l. One color is just a bit darker than the other. So far I have just been skipping over them until I could check around to see what others would do. I am on about the 5th page of a 70 page project and will have to go back and fill in the blanks before I go any farther.

I like the colored pen idea I received in answer to my post regarding this problem--over at StitchersHeaven. Click here!

Well, I did it--I blogged once more. BUT, as far as blogging goes, I have forgotten most of what I learned...
