I have download a dinosaur's head from your site but can't work out how big my fabric should be.
It was by "hookerangel".
Can you help me please?
Here are the last two cross stitch pieces I did back in 2001 thru 2002 while riding on the truck my hubby drive all over the US. Yes, I did cross stitcih these while bouncing thru many a state during the year it took me to complete them and holding my old toy poodle across my left arm as well. He wouldn't ride any other place, but luckily he wasn't very squirmy and it went well with my needlework.
I made these two for my pen pal I have known through letters since 1977. She lives in Oregon and the horse in each one I created to look like her two paints from photos I had of them I took when we got to meet her in person in 2001 for the 1st time. My hubby had a Coors beer load we picked up in Golden, Colorado we delivered to a distributor in Portland, Oregon. My pen pal lives about 30 miles from Portland in Boring, OR.
The 1st one of the paint running through a desert scene was her favorite horse. The desert scene was a pattern I bought, then created the horse with the paint pattern to match my friend's horse and cross stitched it into the scene. I also created the sky clouds to look like a horse rearing up instead of using the clouds the pattern originally had. Of course she loved that the horse was a replica of her own named Gypsy. I chose the desert scene for this horse because my friend Debbie had always wished she could have open areas to ride in instead of the heavily forested country she was raised up in around Oregon.
The 2nd pic I took a horse head pattern I bought and changed the colors to match her other paint which I can't remember the name of now. Then I took and drew on the material the pine, spruce and fir tree limbs I enbroidered to look like they were coming from above the horse head. I left the rest of the background the natural pale blue color and not stitched. I did add snow flakes you can barely see in this pic falling about since they do get a bit of snow up there. The frames you can see around the edge of both pics is also my own creation cross stitched on the material.
I stitched the edges down and fringed the material around in a natural look and used a couple of Mesquite limbs to hang each one from rather than framing. My idea was to create a very natural look for the horses to reside on. Debbi loved them both very much. Now both horses have passed on over the Rainbow Bridge frolicking with other horses and pets waiting for the day their loved ones here on earth can join them. Both of these were 12"X18" size I think. They were not small and I had to work diligently to get them finished & sent by Aug. 30th which was her birthday.
Wished the pics were better and more clear. These were taken in 2002 after I fininished both pieces and the pixels were not the best on the camera we had. I've lightened both up a bit, but that is the extent of my photo touch up I know how to do.
Devine,
I just posted an answer in the other spot you asked about this. My answer is here.
Basically I asked if it would be ok to send me your image and I can try it out, hopefully find settings that work, and if I find there's a problem in the program, can then fix it.
If you want to try this, let me know and I'll send you an email to which you can reply and attach your image.

So, I have a graph pattern I purchased about a year ago off of etsy. It's an excel document. I printed it, but I am absolutely horrible at remembering my counts and stitches, and having to stop every few lines to write out the next few lines, is too much in the very limited time I have in my day to crochet. I have been trying to finish this project for almost a year and I only have 10 rows of 200 done. i can crochet so much faster if it is written, but taking the time to count it and write it out is difficult. Is there a way I can convert it to written form?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Line,
I'm very sorry...but not surprised it would cost more to go to court over the lack of cleaning.
It sounds like the realty
business can be just as crooked there as it can be here.
And then there are the people
who have no conscience at all and can do that sort of thing, like
the person who previously owned your house.
Right?! Isn't working plumbing vital these days? It was hard to be at the house just bringing things over, as there was no bathroom to use.
They didn't say anything about the plumbing because they simply didn't care. This wasn't an owner, though. The house had been foreclosed, so it was a financial entity that was selling. So they were just looking for someone to take it, and they were sure at some point the price would be low enough that someone would accept the deal as is, without having to fix the plumbing or refund some money. Sadly, they were right, as we did have to accept the deal as is, because on the other end we were being (illegally) pushed to move four months earlier than had been agreed upon.
If we hadn't taken this place, we probably would have had to move out of the area. We would have found a better house (in other words, something in move in condition, not needing repairs), but it would have caused other problems, as we still needed access to the same basic area, and everything else was much farther away.
One's finances affect financing here, too. It's both...if they don't feel you can handle the payments and/or the place isn't up to the lender's standards, it's possible a sale won't then happen. It's also way different than it used to be. People used to get mortgages based on...nothing. Someone told us to apply for a mortgage years ago, one we didn't think we could handle back then! (Obviously, we didn't do it.) But after the economy got worse and it was found people were "underwater" with their mortgages (owed way more than their homes were worth), the process of handing out mortgages without checking on people's finances stopped. Now they want to be sure you can pay, that lenders aren't going to get stuck with mortgages that will go unpaid, where the owners will have to be foreclosed on and the lenders will have to sell the same houses much cheaper. Not that it stops foreclosures altogether, of course. Nothing will stop that completely. But it does make it harder to buy a house.
That's really interesting how it goes there with the inspections and determinations of what's wrong with a house. It sounds pretty similar, though I'm not familiar with how much different things affect whether or not someone will get a mortgage here. I just know how the inspector pointed out certain things that were fine for us, but which wouldn't have allowed us financing had we been looking for it.
Glad to hear all of your K3s were easy fixes! It definitely sounds crazy that the electrical cabinet labels being unlabeled counted as a K3...I'd think that's a very easy fix and barely worth mentioning!
Sending more good thoughts that you can relax soon.
