Thanks for letting me know Roboframer (love the name!)
I uploaded it to my server

I am not intending to set up a framing business although I may well do a bit for friends etc.
I have a LOT to get framed for the flat and simply wouldn't be able to afford to get it done professionally and I also am just a tad of a control freak when it comes to stuff like this and love how much more control I have over the finished article by framing it myself.
I have 24 pieces to frame for the bedroom - 6 for each season
And many more than that for my hallway.
I am making videos at the moment on all sorts of crafts for YouTube and hope to make a very small income from that and intend to write books too at some point.
I have a website for this venture which I am calling 'Colour It You' but it isn't finished yet.
So once I have some experience I may well do the odd video but they will mostly be inspirational rather than instructional.
I want to encourage people who like creative activities to design a 'whole' rather than just do an embroidery, have it framed and hang it on a wall where it doesn't quite fit. I want to inspire them to take up more crafts and be able to create their own surroundings as they really want them. For example, with the embroideries I have designed for the winter bedroom I want to do triple mats with the centre one covered in the Black Watch Tartan that I am using to make the curtains and valance etc.
Not sure if that makes any sense LOL
Anyway the tutor warned that many beginners go for a mat that is not big enough so would love any input in the proportions.
I have bought the stained black moulding and the mount boards - the yellow just represents my living room wall
Apologies for writing a book here! And thanks
