morning ladies Another warm day today
Thank you for your kind comments about my frog. I'm still embroidering the dragonflies but should finish them this afternoon.
Welcome Venetian1 I'm sorry, I don't know of any businesses who can turn a photo into a cross stitch pattern, only the online versions. Could you have another go at embroidering it? I practise the stitches on a 'spare' piece of fabric if they are new to me. It does take time but worth the effort. If you need help, I can always help you here or recommend some awesome websites and you tube clips. Another reference I use an awful lot is the needleworking book The Royal School of Needleworking. It has a LOT of information and ideas in it and 'how to'. I bought mine on Book Depository two Christmas' ago and it is already well thumbed. Sometimes I go through it just to admire the photos lol.
The rose I moved yesterday survived the move overnight so I'm happy. It has certainly changed the look of the garden, that's for sure. So I have some bigger gaps to fill (oh dear, that means a trip to the garden center at some stage lol) and am thinking daisies and I need to replace the daphne that died a couple of years ago.
Washing machine has beeped, this well trained person will dutifully move her ar** and hang out the washing lol. Housework today, the Furry One will be happy as he gets to 'protect' me from the nasty, dangerous vacum cleaner.
Happy crafting
