Love the moomin.
If you think you might be need storage of other types of files, like swfs, you can use Screencast.com. It's free, too, and you can have levels of security on uploaded files.
I have removed the attachments, please do add some pics via something like photobucket (or one of the others) as he's so lovely the whole world should see him!
I could put them into my previous posts but I can't edit them? 0.0
So I'll put them here. Feel free to remove all of them, as advised I made a photo bucket account, so now I can also share the Pencil Case I made yesterday too.

Oops I did that wrong. I don't like not being able to edit it. How do I send a link to my stuff so that you can see the album rather than one image?
If someone can let me know then I'll send the appropriate thingy. =3
Oh I think I cracked it!
http://s1159.photobucket.com/albums/...erior/Crochet/ That is my album for my crocheted things, so includes;
Moomin toy for my Psychologist,
Headband for my Mother,
Purse for my Sister,
and Cowl for me.

My photobucket for my sewing, including;
My pillow,
and my Pencil case.
Those last too were hard because I hand sewed them, but they look machine sewed because I sew very small, so I think I'm improving. ^_^
What great creative pieces in here,i love them all...you really are clever peeps:)
I've changed the picture so it works..
If you copy the "direct link" and then click on the picture icon on the reply box, click "URL" and paste it into there it comes up as the picture!
You have great talent hun!
Oh thanks for that. ^_^ Aha, I'm not good with computers... :P
And thank you. ^_^ I agree with veggie that there is a lot of talent in here, it's very inspiring. It makes you want to do more yourself.
I'm doing some cross stitch for the first time today too.
And I'm picking up some wool and a sewing machine tomorrow (all being well) from some freecyclers! I do encourage others to look into putting or trying to snag some freebies on sites like freecycle, especially when it comes to crafts, where some of the materials might be pricey. =3
A crochet hook case I made from scratch. ^_^ Sewn by hand and a crocheted back. ^_^

I love that!
I finished my rag rug finally. I'll put some pictures on photobucket when I've flattened it out and link it here. =]
I might continue the plastic bag (plarn) rug I started in December! >_<
I also took the doors off of my wardrobe to get more space and just added in some scarves over a hand made scarf rail, to be like a mix between a string curtain and doorway type cover. It looks very hippyish, which suits my rug, string curtains, and futon with all my incense sticks. XD
Wow, you really are so creative! So wonderful!
That is really lovely.
Here's my rag rug;

And my hobo shelves and Scarf curtains can be seen here; although the later wasn't really a project so much to consider a finished work. XD

And thanks for the compliments guys.
Wow! I love your creativity! That rug is lovely! Your shelves are so fab!!!
I'm linking my blog on here so you can find a slightly better translation for the moomin pattern. Within it I've linked the original as well so you can see the cute pictures of their one and the comments (and check my 'translation'). =]
That moomin is so stinkin' cute <3
I finished the mini bear I've been working on the last two days.

I think he's pretty cute due to his flaws. He's sitting on my Hobo shelf and looks like he's waving at me. haha
Aw he's very cute! Well done! :)
Aww bless.
Awww! It's hard to get an idea of scale, how big is he? Does he have a name?
I just call him little Ted. not very inventive I know. =.=
He fits into the palm of your hand nicely. I had to use 2.5 crochet hooks haha
I had forgotten how much I used to benefit from xStitch.
I was encouraged to take it up while in a nursing home recovering from an accident.
I find it helps to relax me, time to get it all out and start relaxing again. (nod)

Ian.
Wow, those are AMAZING!
Hey, they are something special Ian - great stuff!
Those are great Ian
Wow those are awesome!
I want to do some of those too, but I don't think I'm good enough to try the big ones yet. >_<
I have two tiny free ones from a mag. I saw the prices for really big pictures and don't think I'd want to waste the money in the early stages of learning but they look so beautiful!
How long have you been doing that?
I really like the first one. =3
Thank You. I started in 1990, and have not done any for a few years now.
I don't buy the kits as they are too expensive, I buy the patterns and everything seperate that way I can spread the cost and quite often I already have most of the threads I need anyway.
They are lovely Ian,you've got a talent there hun.
I think I might do that, as I might want to alter the colours.
I like things in negative, and psychedelic colours. It'd be cool to alter a picture with your thread for either of those effects. Or even a sepia tint but that might be very difficult.
I've never seen the back thing on its own though. =/
Do you do it on a cloth or with those squared materials? >_< I don't know the terms. But I know my aunty and her daughters used to do it a lot and they just did it on plain cloth with a pattern which looks really hard. I'd probably not do the x's the same size at this level. lol
But I've not seen the square material thing plain and for sale. o.o
I'd be interested to see how much sense I just made with that. haha
Hi SuperInferior,
That's one of the good things of not using kits, you can make changes, not just colour of threads, but cloth as well and the finished size of the the whole thing. With regards the sepia tint, you could start with a sepia coloured cloth and then using the right shades of thread it could be done, I think you would need a lot of patience though to get the shades right. You can get the cloth on its own, I tend to buy most of my stuff online, as it tends to be cheaper, I use the squared materials as it gives the best results, I have done some xstitch on plain cloth, I did some cartoon characters and the childrens names on t-shirts, hard work but the end result worked well.
Ian.
Beautiful X stitch Ian. You must have the patience of a saint to work on black though as I always found that played havoc with my eyes. What count aida do you use? I can't use anything smaller than a 16 count these days unless I have specs, magnifying glass and very good light!
I hear you on that one metallics can be a right bugger to work with!

Ive just made another one of these, Ive just joined so am guessing at how to add a photo? I dont think I'll be making this pattern again as Ive done it 4 times now and I am bored with it now and need a new challenge!
