Wow, sounds great :)  One thing, though...PLEASE make sure you clear 
all the copyright stuff first if you plan to sell them to the general 
public.  I think that's one of the reasons there's no HP cross-stitch 
right now; WB is probably demanding a bomb in copyright fees.  It's a 
shame, but there we have it.  WB probably doesn't realize how many 
cross-stitchers are out there (rapidly multiplying and armed with 
blunt needles and pretty threads!), so there's no need for them to 
demand a high fee in order for them to make a good profit.  I'm 
keeping my eyes peeled for kits as well, but seeing as there are none 
out yet I'm not holding my breath.

If nothing else, you and your daughter can enjoy the charts you're 
designing yourself...and you can always offer them to friends, family 
and other listies on the sly :)  ::::::ducks as Mods throw copyright 
law books at her:::::  I can't draw proportional stick people, much 
less design.  Let us know how you get on!

Cheers!
