Koalas with googly eyes.
I have a request..........do you do cross stitch or know people who do. Please could you ask around and see if anyone has a chart for the little owl on the right. It would have been a free kit on Cross Stitcher Magazine but no idea how long ago -I'm guessing within in the last 10 years.
The kit made a scissor case which, with the scissors in the case, made the handles look like the owls eyes. I don't need the kit - just the chart.
I saw these 3 kits on ebay and they sold for.........wait for it................. £19!!!
This is probably a vain hope but while I keep fingers crossed I'll start another little picture for a card.
Purple Irises this time I think
Back Tomorrow

Blimey! I wish I'd been selling them!! I am pretty sure I haven't got them as I've not bought a x-stitch mag for a long long time. I'll ask my friends Gay and Gail who do a lot of x-stitching though.
ReplyDeleteLike your little googly-eyed chap!
Cross stitch kits are going for crazy prices on ebay. Luckily I have enough charts to keep me busy, but when I saw this owl I thought it looked interesting to do and perhaps could be a present.
DeleteI think I have it!!
DeleteI found this online. It's good good pictures, could you work out the chart from it https://jennxstitchx.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/34-what-a-hoot/
ReplyDeleteHow on earth did you find this? I spent ages looking online and for back copies of Cross stitcher and found nothing.
DeleteAngela you are amazing - Thank you
I put "wise old owl scissor case" in Google images, then followed the trail...
DeleteGot it! https://dokumen.tips/documents/cross-stitcher-february-2015-uk.html.
ReplyDeleteThank you - i'll try and find it - link doesn't work straight away.
DeleteGOT IT!! I'll see how good my printer will work
DeleteI've had a rootle amongst my collection of kits but no luck. However, I did come down with three that I rather fancy starting to stitch so thank you for getting my motivation up.
ReplyDeleteI found quite a clear picture of it which I have emailed to you. It looks clear enough to work out the pattern.

I spent ages looking for the chart online and you've found a picture in 5 minutes! - amazing - thank you.
DeleteI used to cross stitch and with prices like those on eBay I must be worth a fortune! I have hundreds of American publications and charts, with two big boxes full of cloth and floss. I do know, however, and I am sorry, that I don't have that particular chart.
ReplyDeleteEveryone must be like me and turned to x stitch to fill their time. I couldn't believe what prices kits are going for on ebay.
DeleteSorry if this is a daft question, but couldn't you draw up your own chart from the picture? I used to cross stitch at school when I was about 8 and teacher used to hand write the chart on a piece of graph paper for us. It doesn't seem like rocket science.
ReplyDeleteThe picture is a bit fuzzy and difficult to see exactly how it was made. But Angela has found a clearer photo and I'm trying to get the other link she sent with no luck as yet. But Joy has emailed me a photo that is bigger - although my printer isn't working well enough to print it out. I might be able to draw up a pattern - if I can find some squared or graph paper.
DeleteYou can Google (Other search engines are available) for free graph paper and print it for yourself.
DeleteSorry I have not got a cross stitch pattern but I have got a little crochet pattern for a OWL key ring I made a lot for a charity stall. I must get moving its Songbirds this morning.
ReplyDeleteThe sun is out at the moment and I want to do some washing.

Angela and Joy both found the chart/picture online so I think I can work it out. I spent ages looking on line with no luck
DeleteI'm so glad you are sorted xx
ReplyDeleteThe Power of Blogging!! They managed in a few minutes what I'd spent an age trying to find
DeleteIf that's a koala, then I'm a kangaroo with glasses on!!! (No offence).
ReplyDeleteKoala with baby on it's back - is it that bad?
DeleteIf you can get your printer to work well enough, you can find free graph paper templates online to print out.
ReplyDeleteI've found squared paper! better than graph as it's bigger
DeleteI am not a doer of these Sue - my hands are to shaky these days - sorry.
ReplyDeleteHave you had a look on Pinterest
ReplyDeleteI like your card, I think the googly eyes are fun. I had a look for the owl, but I haven't got one. I did come accross some small kits, I haven't done any cross stitch for about 13 years, not since I went over to other card making. Helen S.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet cross stitch. I've been looking for a small kit but was flabbergasted at how much they're going for on EBay so I didn't bother. I usually pick a decent sized one up from The Works for about £2 but I've done all the ones they've got. Hope somebody can help you with the chart. Would it be hard to re-create using the one you've already done as a guide? xx
ReplyDeleteI've not done one already - that's why I wanted the chart - and huge success from readers!
DeleteI use this scissor holder all the time as l cross-stitch every day so glad you have a chart now

I don't have the patience for cross stitch. But I love what you've done.
ReplyDeleteI have the kit and the magazine ic you want it? Carpedyem68@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI see the lady before my comment has helped you. People are so generous and helpful.
ReplyDeleteYour little koala is cute, someone will be very happy to receive that.
I'm sure I have the kit in a box in the loft, let me know if you still need it
ReplyDeleteI can also print and send you a copy if you still need it Sue.
ReplyDeleteThe kit is for sale on Ebay for 5.50 L. It is in the UK. Shipping to US is $20+!!. However, since you live in UK it should be considerably less.
ReplyDeleteI see several kind people have offered kits or charts.
Good luck.
