the good and the bad.............

so lets start with the bad.......I need to do some reverse stitching.....
see the pic below..............I missed part of the cutting directions because when I cut half triangles from rectangles I do it like the right side of the pic.............what I needed to do was the left side of the pic...............
edit: yep that was wrong too see my next post

wouldn't think it would make so much difference but look below....the correct one is on top.....
quite a different shape..........
 it means this pic would then look straight across the top (sorry pic on side) instead of weird angles that look like they need to be trimmed.............
What I should have done is email Heather and ask 2 days ago instead of last night.........
my mistake not hers but she helped me work out where I had gone wrong..........
But the good news is I now have a new laptop.............my connection to the world we share.......so life online will get back to normal doing everything the way I normally do it...........and I can open all my own files and pics etc.......all my logins work...........LOVE IT........and now I even managed to get the printer working wireless which I could never get going before................
 Yummy Sausages for dinner in the slow cooker.............my recipe here

.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........
