WELL I'M A LEO... and i'm curious lol
How do you manage to save all the jpgs of designs on one sheet...... do you print,scan and then resave to pc?

I probably already know how, and it just hasnt registered with me yet...... i am SOOOOOO SLOW THIS WEEK LOL

You do a cracking job tho, keeping updates on all the designs..... i dont suppose you have an update on the BIKER ANIMALS do you, (dogs on bikes) did it get COMPLETED?

Ah, so that explains my son. He is also a Leo (Aug. 5), and a more curious child you would be hard pressed to find! My brother has nicknamed him "Mr. Handy" since his hands are always into everything!

As for how I save all the jpgs together, I have a nifty little program called SewIconz. It displays all my embroidery patterns as icons, so I don't have to open them up to see what they look like. I have just adjusted the size of the icons to around 130% and so they fit seven across in my file. Then, I do a screen print and paste it into Microsoft Paint. I crop out the unnecessary parts, add in the calendar day headings, and save it as a jpg. It's pretty easy, and since I have been naming the files with the date offered along with the design names and then saving them into folders by month, it makes things work so smoothly.

Unfortunately, I have not yet finished my tabulations on what sets are complete. I have been trying to refinish my front door while entertaining a grumpy nearly-two year old, and my time slips through my fingers like water. I'm working on it, however, so it should be up by the end of the week.
