Kick off 19:00 GMT at Loftus Road, QPR
World Cup Qualifier
England - Sanderson 16' Aluko 68' Ellen White 90'
Glenn Lavery at Loftus Road
England 3-0 AustriaFIFA Women's World Cup 2011 Qualifier7pm, Thursday 25 March 2010Loftus Road, Queens Park Rangers FCExclusively live and free of charge on FATV A goal apiece from three forwards gave the England Women's team a deserved victory over Austria in their third World Cup Qualifier, at Loftus Road.Lianne Sanderson opened the scoring just after quarter of an hour when she headed home Eniola Aluko's deep cross. The roles were reversed on 68 minutes when Sanderson dug out a cross from an almost central position which Aluko expertly guided into the corner of the net with a cute flick of her boot.In the final minute Ellen White, on her England debut, lifted the ball over the sliding Austrian goalkeeper, Jasmin Pfeiler, to round off a very good evening for her and for England.This win leaves the Three Lions nicely positioned in Group 5, three points behind Spain, who they meet next Thursday at the Den, but with a game in hand.Despite the comfortable margin, it was actually the visiting side who had the first effort of note, through the captain, Nina Aigner, but her 25-yard, left-foot strike was well watched and well held by Karen Bardsley in the England goal. Despite some neat and deliberate build-up play, it wasn't until the 13th minute that England had their first attempt, through Aluko, and she soon made it two attempts in a minute, but Pfeiler was behind them both.Aluko would have more joy just three minutes later though, as it was her teasing cross that led to the opening goal. Scott played Aluko in down the right and the forward skipped past Entner courtesy of a nutmeg. Her deep centre was met in the air by the rising Sanderson who headed home, though the ball did get a slight deflection off Susanna Gahleitner.This goal appeared to liven England up and they began to enjoy more possession in the final third, sending in a couple of low crosses and through balls which Pfeiler managed to deal with. With the exception of long-range efforts from Marion Groebner and Entner - a very decent 35-yard drive which Bardsley did well to tip over - England were dominating without finding a second goal.After they had conceded the opening goal - and much like England experienced in Turkey in November - Austria appeared happy to plant all eleven players inside their own half in an attempt to stifle, but the hosts were putting together far more coherent passing moves than they did in Izmir.Eventually Austria found their feet again and pushed players forward, though, admittedly without posing much of a threat, however they had appeared ready to make a game of it once more, but the half-time whistle interrupted the Austrian flow.If the first half was fairly event-free, the second half began in very exciting fashion. First, Sanderson's deft flick found Aluko inside the area, but Pfeiler was quickly off her line to foil the St Louis Athletica forward and the 'keeper's alertness again denied England, this time at the expense of Scott who had found a yard of space.However, Austria soon came within the frame of the goal from equalising after an uncharacteristic mistake from Rachel Unitt saw the ball fall to Daniella Tasch. The winger's shot from the edge of the box was firm and true but it cannoned off the bar with Bardsley beaten.On 58 minutes, after Aluko saw a curled effort parried, she collected the ball on the opposite side of the area and found Scott unmarked in front of goal, barely two yards, but the midfielder couldn't quite organise her feet and she fluffed her shot wide.The whirlwind start to the second half suggested there were more goals in this game and Powell replaced the right-back, Dunia Susi, with Leeds Carnegie forward, White, in a bold substitution with just under half-an-hour remaining, and on 68 minutes Aluko effectively sealed the victory with a delightful finish.As if to return the favour for Aluko providing her opening goal, Sanderson delivered a lofted through ball into the Austrian area and Aluko met it on the volley, deftly flicking the ball beyond Pfeiler.It might have got better for England had Fara Williams been able to convert Rachel Yankey's near-post corner in the 75th minute, but Austria had enough bodies in the way to prevent the concession of a third goal.Although England looked comfortable for their two-goal cushion, Sarah Puntigam decided to increase Austria's tally of long range shots, but the ball flew just beyond the angle of post and bar. As if stirred by that effort, Aluko then tried for her second goal of the evening, bundling her way past two defenders and into the area, but, slightly off balance, she could not find a way past Pfeiler.As the game entered the final ten minutes, England pressed for a third and had three good chances in quick succession. First, White headed Yankey's free-kick into the side-netting at the back post. Then Aluko saw a low shot fizz just wide before Williams' left-foot attempt clipped the top of the crossbar.There was still time for Powell to create another England debutant when Claire Rafferty replaced Unitt for the final three minutes and before the final whistle White had made it 3-0, latching onto Sanderson's through ball and calmly chipping the ball over Pfeiler.England1 Karen Bardsley, 2 Dunia Susi (17 Ellen White, 62), 3 Rachel Unitt (18 Claire Rafferty, 87), 4 Katie Chapman, 5 Faye White (C), 6 Casey Stoney, 7 Alex Scott, 8 Fara Williams, 9 Eniola Aluko, 10 Lianne Sanderson, 11 Rachel Yankey (14 Sue Smith, 87)Substitutes not used 12 Jill Scott, 13 Rachel Brown, 15 Laura Bassett, 16 Lindsay Johnson Head Coach Hope PowellAustria1 Jasmin Pfeiler, 2 Susanna Gahleitner, 3 Susanna Hoeller, 4 Marlies Hanscaitz, 5 Kathrin Entner, 6 Carina Wenninger, 7 Marion Groebner (11 Nina Burger, 63), 8 Nadine Prohaska, 10 Sarah Puntigam, 14 Nina Aigner (C), 15 Daniella TaschSubstitutes not used 21 Bianca Reischer, 12 Kathrin Hoellmueller, 13 Nicole Gatternig, 17 Susanna KochHead Coach Mag.

Managers from across the game have underlined the importance of St.George's Park for the whole English game – not just the national team.
Paul Lambert and Chris Powell joined Nigel Clough and Keith Curle in championing the philosophy and facilities at The FA's new National Football Centre, which officially opened in Burton-upon-Trent last week.
The new £105 million training home for England's 24 teams is reliant on the game coming together to share ideas to create a coaching culture to improve the overall quality of English football.
And Charlton Athletic manager, Chris Powell, who represented England five times, believes all levels of the English game now have a base to be proud of.
He said: "I think we've always needed an identity for the game, not only the England team, but the game as a whole at all levels – grassroots, non-league, professional.
"We have a centre to be proud of where we are going to educate not only players, but coaches.
"It's a wonderful achievement for us. It's been a long time due but it's here now and it's up to us to use it and enhance our game the way we want to.
"We've got a centre where people can get around the table and talk about how we can move the game forward."
Amongst other targets, The FA aim to qualify 230,000 new Level 1 and 2 coaches and 52,000 FA Youth Award coaches in the first eight years.
The majority of these coaches will work at the grassroots level of the game.
And the Addicks' boss believes coaches and volunteers will relish the opportunity to be part of the development.
He said: "We do have a lot of people who love the game, who haven't played the game professionally, and they want to be involved.
"You can always talk about the money and the facilities, but it's not always about that, it's about the people. It's about giving people the right opportunity to coach, to get their awards and licences and to move forward."
Aston Villa manager Lambert echoed Powell's thoughts on coach development, stressing the importance of patience if St. George's Park is to make a difference.
He said: "There is a great saying that 'Rome wasn't built in a day', and I think St. George's Park time will be in a few years' time.
"It is a start though and you have to start somewhere. So, in a few years, I think it will begin to take off. I think it is a fantastic facility."
Lambert joined Powell in underlining the importance of the grassroots game. It is there, after all, where most international players start.
He added: "I think that is paramount really to get good coaches to transfer their knowledge to players at grassroots level, so that is a big, big issue and I think it is important to get that right.
"There is a good opportunity to develop that and hopefully bring it to fruition."
In addition to the England teams' training programmes and FA coach education courses, other clubs and sports will be encouraged to use the 330-acre site.
Two managers who have experienced the impressive facilities are Derby County manager Clough and Notts County boss Curle.
Clough, who was both player-manager and manager of Burton Albion between 1998 and 2009, used the facilities with the Brewers whilst the site was still under development.
He said: "We trained there for two or three years when I was at Burton so we could give The FA feedback on the pitches.
"We were very lucky to use it. If you get such a good facility to train on, it helps going into a Saturday. I think it's great for everyone around Burton and the Midlands."
Curle added: "The players will eat there, change there and the pitches are fantastic. They are all replicas of Wembley.
"It will really encourage the players to get the ball down and play. It's a fantastic facility, an exceptional place and we're very lucky to be able to train there."

You see for most part of the days when I was a teen, my time was spent reading books, watching 'Wonder years', playing basketball, and finding ways to deal with my braces. I was always found in shorts, and t-shirts, and was always the boy of the house!
Needless to say, when this late bloomer took to wearing things that most girls do, the first instinct was to bring down the 'girlyness' (is that even a word?), of the outfit, by adding something edgy. I work with that principle even now, and love the unexpected clash between the soft, flowy, and lady-like worn with the dark, clean-cut, and tomboyish.
This nude sweater with pearl embellishment for example, was perfect for wearing with a tutu-like skirt, and pretty shoes. But my sartorial sixth sense, told me to add a biker jacket, and some tall boots instead - I wish I had knee high ones!!
Smokey kohled eyes, did the trick, and turned an innocent little duckling into the bad-ass Black Swan.
Hope you have a good Friday night, and a great weekend!
Leave me some love in the comments section.

Campaign hopes high for airport railway station
7:00am Sunday 9th September 2012 in News By Jonathan Redhead, Ilkley/Otley Reporter
Plans for a railway station at Leeds Bradford Airport could be boosted by the latest efforts to upgrade rail services.
Network Rail is currently carrying out about £16 million of work on the line that runs from Leeds to Harrogate, which is due to finish later this year.
Campaigners are making strong calls for the whole line to be electrified in a similar way to the successful electrification of the Airedale and Wharfedale routes to Skipton and Ilkley. And transport bosses are hoping a successful electrification could pave the way for a new station at the airport, potentially making it more accessible to millions of people.
Members of LBA's Airport consultative committee will meet this week to hear the latest developments from Brian Dunsby, chief exec-utive of Harrogate Chamber of Trade and Commerce, which has been leading the calls for improvements on the Harrogate line.
Earlier this year, he told the committee electrification is a "realistic and distinct possibility", and he is expected today to say developments are continuing.
Mr Dunsby said all the pieces are in place for electrification, but the funding is still to be sorted.
He added: "The Depart-ment of Transport has said 'yes' in theory, but has told us to go back and work out the costs and benefits."
Mr Dunsby said plans for a Leeds Bradford Parkway station are being regarded as a top priority, although he admitted it could be some way off.
"It would be ideal to build on the existing line at a 15-minute frequency and a 15 minutes journey time from Leeds," he added.
"It could link to the airport's long-stay car park and perhaps have a shuttle like the ones they have at Gatwick."
Earlier this year, the West Yorkshire Integrated Transport Authority backed plans for a full Harrogate line electrification and airport station, while Bradford Council's strategic director for regeneration and culture, Barra Mac Ruairi, said he would like to see a tram/train or heavy rail link from Bradford to LBA to "ensure the district would not suffer an economic disadvantage by the provision of a fixed link from the airport to Leeds only".

Yo.... if i can get an ps2 emu to actually work I would LOVE to see if I could render in dx10 and then do a comparison to dx9 and see if there is any noticeable or real difference. You have a gigantic guy named Tyrone behind you.
I won't be resizing my images that much anymore, because of the new bigger CRT Monitor i have Ford Racing 2, some old school
I used to have a fully working 24inch crt. It hurted my eyez and It was really heavy. The only problem with it now is its got an unfixable pink tint on the screen due to the wire in the back being slowly torn apart over time.
Lost planet What the hell have i been missing all these years? This game looks too real. Runs alright on my 2400HD, but should run better with my 8400gs. Really? Wouldn't say its worth 50, more like 25 bucks. Its pretty good tho, nice visuals and fast gameplay. Didn't know they made 24 inch crt's. This 17inch is pretty nice tho. Doesn't hurt my eyes, but at 1280x1024 its really cool to look at now. Yep
That game does look pretty sweet. I bought it on steam for like $2-5 or something crazy like that. I need to finish it. I think you should upgrade your monitor when you start seeing OLED's out Or maybe the really nice 120hz LCD's from samsung when they go down in price. I used to game on 17inches of pure pwnage but the experience is completely different with a huge monitor at night. And then even better with the color,brightness, and sharpness of an LCD.
You talking about that edge of the photo? if so, thats a driver issue, believe me. I am using windows 2000 , and well using the modded ati drivers, these 9 drivers are really terrible. Switching back to the 8.12 that issue does not show up. I do plan to buy a LCD monitor, but i am buying that for when i get my Gateway Intel Quad Core late this year: http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668233.php
I didn't play anything for infernal got it for free. I agree u2 it's not worth 50 bucks but it was a fun game to play at least I enjoyed it.
Lost Planet Go back and check out post 94 on page four. Heh, almost a year to the day. "Lost Planet -- stuff blows up good."
This is true mate Hard to start the actual bloody game when it too much fun just mowing people down and causing general chaos
I would think sega would make something like that, but capcom gets some kudos for making a game that looks this damn good. LOL nope. My P3 prebuilt from gateway, This Dell 210L Celeron 3.06ghz prebuilt , and my secondary computer the one for future future games will be another prebuilt, a gateway core quad, or is Quad core ? I rather just buy a prebuilt computer, that way i will be safe to know that they know what they are doing haha.
building a computer is just gloryfied leggo, find the right bits that fit together plug em in and your set
This is so true. I can't believe you are on any comp forums and you don't build your own comp. That's like going to a lan.... and not playing any games.
Why wouldn't he be here because he bought prebuilts. It doesn't make him any less of a member than any of us.
I didn't say he was less of a member. I am just surprised he is such an active member on a forum like this. Normally a new person will join a forums, see all the good things that come out of building your own computer, and then upgrade if they can afford it. I am guessing since he is buying a gateway quad core machine (doesn't mean it's expensive, they can be had on the cheap side now) that he isn't too poor, and with a proper budget he could have himself a better computer that he knows inside and out. Building a computer is fairly easy, like ste said Just remember little things like thermal paste on the cpu, and try to ground yourself so you don't zap all your parts (it has never happened to me but it apparently does happen and I don't take chances) and stuff like that. One of the funniest things you will notice is when you tell people that you built that machine over there and point to it, depending on what they know some will instantly think your a genius I know this is what the forums is for but I should just tell you; if you want u2konline, make a post asking for someone to help you set up a budget build PC and then help you with the questions you have while building it. If your pressed for money or want to get the most for it maybe you could reuse some parts like your current ram (i just know u have 4gb's of ddr2, nothing else), and hard drives. /sorry off topic from thread

Low-fat vs. low-carb
By Donald Hensrud, M.D.
28 comments posted
Over time, many different types of diets have been popular, including low-fat and low-carb diets. Some years ago, low-fat was the mantra. More recently low-carb has been the rage, promising effortless weight loss while eating all the high-fat foods you want.
Low-fat usually means high-carb but doesn't always mean low-calorie if someone eats too many carbs, particularly processed carbs that are more concentrated in calories. Conversely, low-carb usually means high-fat. Many people who have tried this type of diet know it can be difficult to continue for a long time because a lot of good tasting fruits and other carbohydrates are off limits and high-fat goodies do get a little old after a while.
The most important factor related to weight loss is not low-fat or low-carb — it is calories. Either type of diet could lead to weight loss if total calorie intake is low.
There have been a number of studies comparing weight loss with these two types of diets. In general, low-carb diets may result in a little more weight loss in the first 3 to 6 months. However, after 1 to 2 years there isn't much difference. What's interesting is that the amount of weight loss varies widely among people following either diet. So which type of diet you choose may matter less than whether you stick to it.
Another important factor is the healthfulness of the diet — and both of these types of diets could be healthy or unhealthy, depending on the types of fats and carbohydrates that are consumed. Other things that may influence how long a diet is followed include taste, satisfaction, satiety and practicality.
The Mayo Clinic Diet emphasizes healthy carbs (fruit, and whole-grain products) and fats (olive oil, nuts and vegetable oils). By consuming lower amounts of less healthy carbs (sugar, white flour, and other processed carbs) and less healthy fats (saturated and trans fats), total calorie intake is lower. Because the emphasize is also on good tasting foods, unlimited vegetables and fruits to achieve satiety, and making lifestyle changes and not a short-term "diet," the Mayo Clinic Diet can be easier to follow long-term.
What have been your experiences with low-fat or low-carb diets?

The clays we use to make our pottery are Stoneware, Earthenware and Porcelain. Each clay body is made of a mixture of several different clays in one recipe. Kind of like making a cake. The clays come from all over the Southeast and the Midwest depending on what clays are needed for each recipe. Some of the clays are dug on our family's land not far away from the Pottery, the same place Ben Sr. dug clay.
The purpose for using differnt types of clay bodies is to take advantage of special properties of each. Some of our glazes are fired to high temperatures and certain clays will withstand the extreme heat. They also will be more durable. Other clays, such as Earthenware, will need to be fired at lower temperatures due to the high level of iron present in the clay. Iron can act as a melting agent and cause the earthenware clay to melt and eventually slump in the kiln. The Chinese Red glaze needs to be fired at a low temperature and works well on the Earthenware.
Another reason for choosing certain clays is for color. Stoneware clays will be tan to grey-brown when finished. Salt glaze works well with these colors of clay because the color of the glaze is actually from the clay color. Porcelain is a white to off-white clay and some glazes will be more intense on the white background.

Ramona Singer's Husband Gets A 20 Year Old Pregnant - Then Pays For Abortion
Apparently Mario Singer has been showing off his girlfriend whenever his wife is not around and when Ramona goes out of town Mario has his girlfriend spend the night in their home. Apparently the woman was going to make a buck off this affair in some possible way. She wanted to keep the baby so she would have the child support coming and also has naked photos of Mario she has kept and had already planned on selling her story to the tabloids. The problem is that no tabloid wanted to pay more than $1000 for the story. It is a great story but it's just the husband of someone who is on a Bravo show and is one of 50 Housewives. Now, if this guy was married to an A lister then we would be talking about a bigger category of payment.

Things To Consider When Buying A Small Refrigerator
- Energy Consumption
Models of compact or small refrigerator from most appliance store provide all the information needed by their customers of their products. There is also an energy usage guide provided that compares the amount of electricity essential to use the appliance and the effectiveness of the appliance. Search for small compact refrigerators with a higher energy evaluation equated to price. To help decrease the worry on your compressor, position your compact refrigerator out of exposed sunlight and away from heat sources and always keep the door tightly closed.
- Storage Space
Several compact refrigerator models do not provide dreadfully space for shared items. Search for a compact refrigerator that can store a large bottle of milk or some canned beverages. Inspect to tell if shelves can be detached for extra space. Don't inevitably choose the smallest compact refrigerator available, since a much greater model possibly will cost merely a few dollars additional.
- Portability
The old-style residence fridge is hardly heavier than a microwave oven or TV set, but other models can necessitate some serious strength to move up steps or through doors. The heaviest portion of a compact refrigerator is the compressor required to freeze the refrigerant. The extra powerful a refrigerator is, the weightier its compressor will be. These features can make a compact refrigerator a bit immense and hard to move. You may want to try picking it up at the store to acquire an impression of what you must do once you get it home.
- Design
When you aim to store gallon containers, search for a compact refrigerator with extensive shelves in the door that provide accommodations for large containers. Many compact refrigerators enclose unusual can storage and dispensing units in the door.
Adjustable shelves are the greatest useful design selection to look for in compact refrigerators. Look for flat, clear shelves rather than wire shelves as they provide more storage area and permit you to simply see the insides of your fridge. Reversible door hinges let you fixed the door to open to the left or right, which can retain the door from striking drawers or cabinet doors.

But probably the most celebrated revolution concerning this mobile device is the dual sim phones. For some reasons, there are people who prefer using multiple numbers. Back in the days, mobile phone users who have two numbers cannot use it simultaneously. But the dual simevolution has made making these two numbers active at the same time possible.
However, before this development took place, the dual sim concept had a lot of imperfections. There was a time when the mobile phone could house two sim cards but these cannot be used concurrently. One has to turn off the phone and restart it to switch from one sim to another. Because of this inconvenience, this concept did not gain popularity and support from mobile phone users.
Fortunately, it did not take long before mobile phone manufacturers discover the best way to enable the device to accommodate dual sims. Now many people are taking advantage of it- from business people who have various clients to deal with up to sociable youths who love to collect friends by means of telephone communication. This is undeniably a brilliant idea that further enhanced the quality of communication transmission between distant individuals.

Plucking its strings will allow you create endless melodies that can rock a music chow or even just spend some quality time with those dearest to your heart.
This type of guitar has multiple variations. Since its inception decades ago, the design and construction has evolved over time. Some of the most important varieties include the lap steel guitar, the steel-string acoustic guitar and the classical guitar which has nylon strings.
The top of an acoustic guitar has a strong effect on its volume. All the energy that goes into the loudness of the guitar is what is made by plucking its strings and is amplified naturally by the soundboard. The hollow body of the guitar also helps with the resounding effect. At low frequencies, the hollow box is responsible for increasing or decreasing the volume of the guitar. In other words its acts like a Helmholtz resonator.
Learning to play a guitar can be as simple or as complex as you make it. There are many self made musicians out there, some of whom learnt to play by ear and others who learnt by using the internet as a guiding resource. It is fairly easy to learn this instrument, the hard part comes with making a full time commitment to practicing how to become better and better.

Plus Size Bras For Women
Every woman worth her salt wants to look sexy, whether she is wearing a size A or a D-cup. Now in case you didn't know, wearing a plus size bra can be something of a hassle especially if you are not sure where to go shop for them.
If you know your way around the world of shopping then you probably know that a plus size bra can be the best thing since sliced bread. They come in all forms, shapes, colours, designers, sizes, and textures. Yes, in everything from lace, to spandex, to good old cotton, plus size bras offer a variety of choices to you.
Everyone knows that a good bra is all about the 'grip', but a sensual woman knows that it's also all about the texture and the 'feel'. So even if you do need a plus size bra, by all means go sexy!
Several designers have caught on to the need for plus size bras to be sexy and appealing instead of just plain nanny sets. Which is certainly a great development because women, regardless of how voluptuous, deserve to look their absolute best if they so desire.
Now just because plus size bras are sexy and easily accessible, it does not necessarily mean that you should ditch your own bras for the larger sizes. The trick to wearing bras is going for the right fit so whether it's a plus or normal size, go for a good fit.
Regardless of your bra size though, when shopping for bras you should probably take into consideration the rather annoying new habit of some designers ¾ we call it "vanity sizing". We have all experienced it at some point. You could be a size 38 A in one design, only to be a size 40 whatever in another.
Plus size or no, you deserve a bra that fits you and accentuates your figure.

Carrie Underwood
Another country music awards show? Really? Yes, the inaugural American Country Awards took place the evening of Monday, Dec. 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Created by the folks who brought you the Teen Choice Awards, the ACAs hope to stand out from the Country Music Association Awards, CMT Music Awards, and Academy of Country Music Awards by letting fans vote for who should take home the new trophies. Other than that…well, it's pretty much your standard awards show, with a red carpet and lots of performances to break up the monotony of all those acceptance speeches.
One cool new wrinkle though: The awards themselves are shaped like guitars! Carrie Underwood took home the lion's share of them, winning in all six categories in which she was nominated, including Artist of the Year. Other top winners included Lady Antebellum (four wins) and Easton Corbin (three).

Those of you who follow my Facebook page will know that I am currently embroidering Tasha Noel's 'Feeding the Chicks' pattern for her, as she needs a stitched example for her Etsy shop (I still can't believe it, what an honour! She is one of my favourite bloggers and the designer of the Simple Life fabrics I raved about a while back). I thought I would use this as an opportunity to share my tracing method with you.
STEP 1. Print out the embroidery pattern and tape it on to your window.
STEP 2. Cut your fabric and tape it on top of the pattern. (I recommend that you cut the edges of your fabric with pinking scissors to minimise fraying. Especially important if the embroidery is complex and likely to take a long time! I was being lazy here.)
STEP 3. Grab your miracle pen! This is a children's stationery pen called Pilot Frixion and about $3 from the supermarket. I am pretty sure they are available not only in Australia but US and Europe too. It is the best invention ever, and SO much better than any other purpose-made fabric-marking pen out there (water soluble, air dissolving, chalk, I have tried them all). It's not only dirt cheap but also marks exactly like ballpoint (crisp and clear), but apply a bit of heat and it magically disappears, never to come back! Hence the name 'Frixion' - you can rub it on paper with the eraser on the back, which generates heat and removes the marks. So after finishing the embroidery you can iron / steam it, or even better, give it a quick blast with the hair-drier, and voila, all the pen marks are gone!
STEP 4. Trace the pattern onto your fabric, holding the fabric nice and taut with your other hand.
STEP 5. Remove the fabric, stretch it on an embroidery hoop and stitch away. And don't forget to peel off the sticky tape from your window! :)

Have not seen the Pilot pen you mentioned here in Australia - but will have a good look next time I go to a big shopping centre

I love these pens! They are readily available in Canada at office supply stores such as Staples.
ReplyDelete This sounds marvelous! I had just once again bought myself a transfer pen hoping that this one might work properly. And again spent a lot of money. Therefore your information sounds just the right thing for me. I live in Germany and have actually found the pen online over here so I will buy one right away! Thank you so much. I am really looking forward to my next embroidery!

Just found an article about you on Craft Gossip and had to visit. I've read so many articles about using this way or that for tracing a pattern. I like your style: keep it simple and inexpensive. I checked for the Frixion pen here in Oregon (U.S.) and it looks like Office Depot carries it. I'm going to check it out tomorrow. Thanks for the great information.

Hi, Sedef! My kids are using those pens in school; but I didn't think of using them for copying stitch charts! This is great! Thanks for this marvellous tip. And yes, they are available in Germany, even in small towns as mine. :)
