I bought it for someone else but then I broke my ankle and needed something to do whilst sitting for hours so I studied the art of crochet. The book came in very handy.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-49710874077072714482012-02-03T19:31:19.705+00:002012-02-03T19:31:19.705+00:00Glad I found your site again Valerie, I have now j...Glad I found your site again Valerie, I have now joined it so I will see your updates.

My cross stitch was never good enough for the judges. <br /><br />If you have Windows on your pc you will find movie maker in Programmes. I played around with it until I fathomed it out. It is fun to make your own video. You can add music, too, but you have to be careful not to breach copyright.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-58253617490559458442012-02-03T17:26:19.538+00:002012-02-03T17:26:19.538+00:00Wow Val, you certainly have many talents!
