My mum bought me a Dimensions counted cross stitch many years ago. I've just started to get back into doing it, but the problem is I've lost the pattern kit. The number is 35012, it's 3 elephants. I have the front picture, Adia, and the threads. Is there anyone who could help?
Please, many thanks.
I have done this for people....contact the person selling it on eBay and ask if you could pay them fo scanning and emailing you the instructions:

I hope they are kind and will do it. I don't know them...but it would be kind!

I am looking for a cross stitch verse, that starts with the line 'All to myself I think of you, think of the things we used to do...' Can anybody help me find the rest?
I did find this on a poetry website...
"All To Myself" Author Unknown
All to myself I think of you
Think of the things we used to do
Think of the things we used to say
Think of each happy yesterday.
Sometimes I sigh, Sometimes I smile
But I keep each olden, golden while
all to myself.

This comes from a book titled: The Dead Man's Room
In this book, it says:
The sampler with its embrodered carriage--
its colorful Victorian couple who hope or hoped
once for marriage, and its message:
All to myself I think of you
Think of the things we used to do.
Sometimes I sign, sometimes I smile
But I keep each olden, golden while
All to myself.

I am trying to find the old cross stitch pattern for this design I did 20+ years ago? Anyone know where I might find one?
Thanks.
I am looking for a pattern of a horse and foal in counted cross stitch, preferably 10x10 minimum size. I would consider a kit, but prefer just the pattern.
I am looking for a cross stitch pattern of a teacup. I would really appreciate your help.

I don't have a cross-stitch pattern for you, but for teacup lovers, there's a great knitting pattern for actual teacups and saucers in "Unexpected Knitting," a beautiful book by Debbie New, Schoolhouse Press, Pittsville, WI, 2003. Her book is filled with new, very creative knitting techniques and patterns.
www.DMC-USA.com has free patterns. There is one that is of three teacups but you could just seperate and use the one you want.
Why not make your own pattern?
One method I can think of would be to take a photo and get it into the computer. Then reduce the size so that the pixels become big compared to the whole picture (just like the boxes on a cross-stitch pattern). and reduce the number of colours to a more manageable number (one that you can match with yarn that you already own).
Does anyone have the state counted cross stitch patterns for Virginia and Maryland which were designed by Betty Haddad Shelton and distributed by Janlynn? I have made 6 of them and another military move is on the horizon.

I'm looking for a cross stitch pattern for a newborn baby girl. I'd like to have bears, balloons, or any cute baby design for the top of the picture. I'd like to stitch her name, birthdate, weight, and length under the design.

Here's a nice looking site that has quite a few things on it.
www.allcrafts.net/needle
These came out of "Basic Alphabets" by Alma Lynne. I used a 40% coupon at Michael's for the book. You can also go to your local library...I'm sure they will have several books to get ideas from. God Bless.
Just change the colors to three different shades of pink
Has anyone seen a cross stitch pattern or print anywhere with the saying "Having children is like being pecked to death by a duck"? A friend and I saw a print at a craft fair a year or so ago and we would like to see if we can get them. I really don't care if they are cross stitch or whatever. I just really would like to get the saying in print. I would like it to be sort of primitive/folk art looking. Thank you.
By Donna from Modena, NY
I have seen cross stitch books with various kinds of alphabets in them, so if you can't find the pattern you want, you might consider making your own.
How about:

Do you have a pattern for the poem "I'm rocking my baby"?
Katie from Saffell, AR
I hope my children look back on today,
And see a Mother who had time to play!
Children grow up while you're not looking,
There'll be years ahead for cleaning and cooking,
So quiet now, cobwebs; dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep.
unknown author
I also found this:
...The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,
for children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.
from "Song for a Fifth Child" by Ruth Hulburt Hamilton

I'm looking for a cross-stitch pattern with an exasperated looking woman, a fairy godmother, and the saying "I've had it with reality, where's my fairy godmother?"
Did you try ebay yet? It'd be a start. I know that many cross stitch patterns are auctioned off.
Try the website, 123stitch.com. It has a forum and the people there may be able to help you. It is my favorite cross stich site!

I am looking for a "Now I lay me down to sleep" children's prayer cross stitch kit that my mother made me when I was born. It was either bought at Leewards or Mary Maxim. It is pink with farm animals. It must be the stamped kind, as I cannot complete the counted kind. It is about 8x10. Please help.
Try stores like Walmart or even your craft stores as I have seen them before good luck
one place to check that also has other good links is www.freepatternsonline.com/

I have a ditto of some cross stitch patterns from several years ago. These are small, maybe 30/40 patterns for "feed bags" with flour, salt, sugar, coffee, horse feed on them. I only have 7 of the patterns, and am trying to figure out where the patterns came from. Do these sound familiar to anyone?

I'm looking for a cross stitch pattern that has a wine theme (like a glass of wine with some grapes and/or cheese and crackers, etc. next to the glass of wine. Thanks.
I want to buy a program that will enable me to design my own cross-stitch patterns. I wonder if anyone out there has tried any of those available, and if they have any advice for me. Many thanks.
This isn't an answer about computer software for cross stitch, but a helpful suggestion for all you "Cross-Stitchers" out there. When looking for computer software, books or patterns for cross stitch don't only search in the "Cross stitch" area also look at patterns made for Bead Loom's, Rug Hooking & Fair Isle style of Knitting Designs & also designs created for knitting machines too! (You can NOT use designs for the "Peyote Stitch" style of beading as these grids are stacked like "Bricks") When I used to make things on a bead loom, I would sometimes get my patterns from Cross Stitch books. Of course you won't have the exact number of the floss color needed, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the difference between dark, medium & light green or other colors in a pattern. So live a little & let your imagination run wild!
If you cross stitch so seldom you see no need to buy software, here's a way to change a photo into cross stitch. If it's day time you can use your window or simply turn your TV to a channel where there is no picture (or use a lightbox) then set you photo down & put your graph paper over it & copy the main outlines. I, myself like to use side views of birds & animals. Once I had a friend draw a side view of an appaloosa horse rearing up, I then copied this onto graph paper by tracing over it with a piece of small-grid graph paper, then beaded a tiny detailed pouch style necklace with a tiny appaloosa on it. Graph paper comes in all sizes & if you can't find a piece large enough, you can tape them together or even print your own graph paper to make cross stitch & other kinds of patterns. Here's several links:
