Hi nottsian,
I like the meeple pillows. Did you made them yourself?

Not at all! Not everyone here is on Facebook and/or Twitter so it's great that you were able to share your photo here too.

Nice meeple stacking too btw!

Yes we did. My wife made them out of micro fleece. We will have 5 eventually a yellow one and a purple one to complete the set. They are 17 ins (43cm) high 19ins (48cm) wide. I only wanted a small plush one for the sofa but she thought it such a good idea she went and made 3.

You're right, Dan. I'm neither Facebook nor Twitter for example.

You needed not worrying about going too far. I'm pretty sure other members here have gone down that road!

Post a video of a pillow fight and we'll tell you if you went too far.

Seriously, they look good. Well done!

I tried to make the image smaller to view it is really big. Not looked round the forum to see if you have resizing button. I used to have "a smaller image" but won't run on win 10. What do people used to reduce size of pics in posts.

Decar · « **Reply #11 on:** January 12, 2016, 01:37:45 PM »

If it's a big picture hosted somewhere else, I usually you can add a width=450 into the img markup tag.

[ img width=450] URL [/img ]

Or sometimes I just attach it, if it's small in size. Worst case I'd just resize it in MSpaint.

I used to do it in Photoshop but that program takes forever to launch sometimes. Paint on Windows 10 works great to re-size an image.

For me I simply right-click on the image and choose Open With -- Paint (or select other app and then find Paint on the list).
There is a re-size button with % and pixel options. Afterwards you go to Save as... and choose a new name or overwrite the ol' one.
