.... to look for my camera tomorrow. But in the meantime I thought I would post again, as I found the saved files of this on my external hard drive, the best way ever I have found to start off a new piece of floss (double click on the photos and they get very BIG)
I know that, I think it is Mayte, does it a different way and I have started using her way to do this. This way you come up in at B leaving a little tail which you hold on to then go down at A then come up at C pull still holding on to the tiny piece of floss at the back and hope you never have to undo this because it is a b*stard if you do trust me.
To finish I sometimes, but not always I must admit, use the way diagrammed below only because I find it hard getting into the middle hole.
To do be honest sometimes I end this way and sometimes I don't and when I don't I just do it the usual old way of going behind the stitches and wrapping my thread around one of the back stitches and then going in again and draw the floss to the end of the row.
I still use Mayte's way even when I stitch over one. I just start it in a row where there will be at least three stitches of the same color and usually do it at the bottom of the stitches and you can never see where I have started or finished.
I have been tagged by Rosie and these are the rules:
1. Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
3. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and to read your blog.
5. For the recipients, leave a comment for the person who tagged you, so they can go and read your answers.
Here are mine:
1. My favourite flowers are: Just about any I LOVE LOVE LOVE flower
2. I love my straight hair. When I was young I would have loved to have had curly blonde hair. Now I am just really thankful it isn't gray and I was so fed up with people accusing me of dying it that I did and I hate the color it has been dyed!
3. I hate confrontations with a total vengeance and think they would be ok if people told me what they were going to be about and gave me three days notice to think up all the good answers because I always think them up three days later.
4. I would love to hibernate all winter and never go out at all.
5. The furthest north I have travelled is - look I'm really crap at geography I have absolutely no idea what is the furthest north or south or west. East I know cause that's easy it's Los Angeles.
6. When away from home Larry (dh) always packs my bag for me and if I have gone away by myself then I have to repack it for coming home and I am absolutely useless at packing.
7. I decided quite some time ago that if there was something I could do then whatever my problem was would be worth worrying about and I could but if there was nothing I could do about it I would just forget it and get a goods night sleep and not let it keep me awake and so far it has worked beautifully.
8. I would like to be cremated but that just isn't going to happen because of my faith we are not allowed to desecrate our bodies even after death. I was going to be donor but nobody wants my stuff anyway because of the MS - can't even give blood which I would have happily done.
Ok I tag:
Su
Barbara
Wendy
Gwen
Finally, have you noticed how the words that the randomizer thingy brings up usually appears to be in a different language. However, today on one of the blogs I left a comment on my word was sojew - how great is that considering what I said above about being cremated (I just thought it was funny is all). Also I have taken off the word randomizer thingy on mine because my comments are moderated anyway and I just want to see who leaves me comments and that's why I moderate them.
So until next time ...
Lots of Love
