I ended up ditching the above idea. In the end, I scanned the wallpaper border, then added a graph (using photo editing software) before reprinting. My graph is 68 x 173 and I used 18 ct Aida. I then matched the embroidery cotton to the wallpaper, making my own colour chart. If you don't have a photo editing program, you could draw a graph by hand directly on the wallpaper, depending on the finished size you'd like. I hope this has helped, All the best for the birth of your little boy, Regards Pam Hi Mandi,

Im having a little boy next month and I am doing the zanzibar theme. I have been looking all over for a cross stitch pattern that would work with it and stumbled across your site. I was wondering if I could buy the pattern from you Im not all that talented. If you could email me I would really appreciate it. I would be willing to pay for the pattern.

I love the elephant. I like your new version of the birth sampler and can't wait to see it finished. (I just found your blog through Google and will be back.)
