morning ladies 
Fog and black clouds... not a good sign for getting out into the garden.
lmao Jan, love it! That is very clever. Since they have taken the midday news off TV1, MrK has Al Jazeera as his news fix and boy, do we get a different perspective on the world. American politics is fascinating to watch if you love politics.
I've used that waste canvas/aida fabric before, OHH and you have to be careful with how tight you pull your stitches. As my long and short stitches are very firm, and tend to cross over each other, it's hard to pull the threads out but it works great for cross stitch where you use the holes of the aida cloth for each stitch. I had a look at the wash away product and it might just do the trick. I think I could draw (or trace) my design onto it and there is no sticky glue at the back. It's $11 a meter but you don't have to buy a meter, can buy the length you need. While in the Bernina shop, I showed the woman a photo of the jacket as I was trying to explain (English second language for her) what I needed. She showed me a denim jacket with a machine embroidered tiger on the back but there was no depth of colour or texture in the stitches. I think I'll stick with hand embroidery.
We're not going anywhere today thank goodness. Will be nice to stay at home, especially as the weather is going to be rubbish.
Happy crafting
