My introduction and new start punch of color girls 3

Oh Dear I have not posted on here for so long I don't even really feel like I deserve to, as I have been so slack adding updates.... So what have I been up to I see to travel from project to project doing about a page and then moving on, please tell me I'm not the only person who does this lol. I have started about 6 different things that I am not going to go into to much due to the embrassment facter hopefully I will pick some of them up again in the future.
Just because there are a lot of new members I will take the time to introduce my self My name is Tanya I'm a aussie girl with 4 children 12, 10, 8 and 6 and just for any body wondering there is not going to be anymore they keep me busy enough. I first found haed 3-4 years ago and these days very rarely do any other designs I love Hannah Lynn, Aimee stewart, Nene Thomas Selina Fenech, and many more (I just can't think of at the moment). I am also in love with the new artist Melanie delon I am really in love with the chart splash I just love mermaids lol. I can feel another new start of one of her designs in the future

I recently finish my second haed

I have started a new project in the last couple of days also on a 36 count opalescent evenweave

So here is my humble new start not much to see

How to Carry Threads
This is really easy...it takes a while to get used to though....and your back will look terrible...this you will have to live with...One thing...You will be working your 10 x 10 grids in colums...it makes it easier...
1. Start with a 10 x 10 grid..
2. Find your first symbol...and stitch all of that symbol in your 10 x 10 grid....When finished...
3. Find the same symbol on the 10 x 10 grid below it...take your needle and bring your thread up like you are going to make the first 1/2 of the X ...but don't do it...just unthread your needle and lay the thread down..
4. Go back to the first grid you were working on...and stitch the next symbol the same way....when finished bring your thread down....
5. continue each symbol until your first 10 x 10 grid is finished....
6. start the next 10 x 10 grid ....you should have thread there already for you to pick up and stitch...

Tent Stitching (Wikipedia)
Tent stitch variants
There are three types of tent stitch, all producing the same appearance on the front of the canvas but each worked in a slightly different way and having particular characteristics, uses, benefits and drawbacks. These variants of tent stitch are known as basketweave, continental and half cross tent stitches:
Basketweave tent stitch - The basketweave form of tent stitch is worked in diagonal rows up and down the canvas. The yarn on the back of the canvas has a typical basketweave appearance, with alternating horizontal and vertical stitches. Basketweave is the best stitch to use for covering large areas of canvas as it does not distort the canvas as the other two forms of tent stitch do.
Continental tent stitch - Continental stitch is worked horizontally or vertically across the canvas. On the back of the work, the stitches appear diagonally across two threads. This method uses more yarn than half cross stitch tent stitch but is more hardwearing.
Half cross tent stitch - Half cross stitch is worked horizontally or vertically across the canvas. On the back of the work, the stitch appears vertical or horizontal, not diagonal, and crosses only one thread. This method uses less yarn than other stitches but is not very durable as coverage on the back of the canvas is a little thin.
