DJ - that is adorable!! OMG, I want one now!!!

I remember her last one - would love to hear how the reactions went.

[djhammon]

well the characters loved them - took lots of attention to them - bit hard to find piglet to have it signed and photo, however disney done it again.
they found piglet and brought it out. - mickey loved it as will.
She started another one now!

I've done the cross stitch where the pattern is printed on the material. But I've never tried counted cross stitch. I have no idea where to start - and I'm afraid I'll mess up!

[djhammon]

Its easy when you get going, its a case of finding the middle of the pattern and then the middle of the material then off you go. - you need a lot of paients with it.

[wdwgrandma]

I may try to give it a chance! But not with something as detailed and complicated as the beautiful Disney patterns.

[djhammon]

do you have any patterns? maybe i could find some easy (well not me, my wife) and either send them to you scan then so they can be printed.

[wdwgrandma]

No, I don't have any, actually. If you have some really "simple" ones...

[djhammon]

i'm at work at the moment however when i return i will ask her.

[wdwgrandma]

Ok! Sounds good! No rush, tho. Remember, we are going to Disneyland! Check my timer!

[djhammon]

OK, well have a good time, let me no by pm how you would like them either mail or e-mail

There was one, a setting sun with the ship - the reflection is in the shape of the mouse ears, but I cant' find it online at the moment. I did find this other tremendously wonderful page of all sorts of project kits: http://www.craft-stop.com/store/productprintdetail.cfm?ProdCatID=21

[Lizzy]

Aww that's so cute!

[laughingcow1215]

i saw the castle kit at the same place at MGM
counted cross-stitch isn't difficult if you can follow a chart, just find an easy one and work up to the more detailed ones :)

[wdwgrandma]

Thanks to a lovely person on this site (and his DW) I now have a counted cross stitch kit of Eeyore wearing a Santa hat! It's small, so I shouldn't mess it up too much!

If I can figure it out and it looks good when I'm finished, I'll move up to a slightly larger one, and then a larger one, etc., until I'm brave enough to tackle one of those beautiful Castle ones!

I started out on the small ones....the first one I did honestly I didn't get how to do it and I did mess up.....but that was the practice one. After that I was able to do it no problem and I find it rather enjoyable.

[Mickeymac]

It's not that tough, Donna, like making little 'x's' just make sure they all X the same way. If I can do it, YOU can do it1 :D :D

[BevW]

Castle in the moonlight? I want this one!!!

[BevW]

I may try to give it a chance! But not with something as detailed and complicated as the beautiful Disney patterns.


I started, many many years ago, with a small picture...4 x 6...and it wasn't very detailed but it was cute. Now I'm doing Japanese pictures, Angels, Wizards, and the Disney ones....I love it!

[djhammon]

Well we will have to wait. All you need is the time, take your time and do not rush.
I think that the castle is going to be a very very trick one - well my DW must have a look at this one - seams i will be buying this one when we go in November.

I've done a lot of cross stitch before - but it was always the sort with the pattern printed on the material. I never had to figure out where to start or what to do next. Counted cross stitch is a "new" thing for me....

[BevW]

Just don't loose your place!!!! Use a marker to color off what you've done....believe me, it will save alot of stress and pulling out and redoing later...:lmao:

[Isafari]

I usually make all of my own X stitch patterns from photographs but they are detailed and do take a long time to complete. Saying this....I haven't done any cross stitch at all for about 5 years and I still have a project half complete of a dog we had then :sigh:

I have a few photos of some of them if any one wants a look-just pm me.

[wdwgrandma]

I'd like to see them! of course, they'll just make me feel inadequate... LOL

[Isafari]

if you pm me with your email addy........I will attach them. I'm not sure how to put them on this site :sigh:
