Here are a few more things I have been making. I love to sew, and "sew" I also love all the little accessories that go along with stitching. These are photos of pinkeeps, small sewing boxes & make-do pincushions. I also added a photo of my Christmas stars and a penny mat. Hope you are able to see everything!

Thank you everyone for you kind words! It's very encouraging coming from this group of women. I think if you do what you love, it always shows, don't you?

Sunshine, thanks for your suggestions! I hadn't really messed with photo cropping on those pictures-just wanted a few to share with my farmgirls. Yes some touching up is definitely in order! I was mostly concerned about the clarity. Don't know if anyone noticed, but I replaced the first batch of photos with clearer images. This evening I had a friend help me update my entire computer. He installed several amazing photo programs-Dreamweaver 8 and Adobe Photoshop 7.0. I'm really excited to learn how to use these! So hopefully I will have no more photo resizing/cropping issues.
Thanks again everyone!

Since you are trying to imrove photos a few tips on lay out
odd numbers in a picture is better then even
don't try to center eveything
crop pictures where needed that 5th one should be cropped )
make more random in hight the first two are albout the same in hight

the four picture has a very good layout cropping ( in this case propbably
done with camera you can do this afterward too
the last is a real nice lay out too

Mind you I am just talkin gabout the photos layout the images are fine and clear and the items you made are apsolutly lovely.

have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe my blog http://sunshinescreations.blogspot.com

You are right, Rhonda - the second photo is way better.
Again, lovely things - can't stop with the photos now, hey?
Best wishes,
Jayne

Are my eyes fooling me? Look at the first two photos...do they look remarkably different? I tried a new photo resizing software today. It's a FREE download too! http://www.irfanview.com/

I think I'm pleased? Comments on the photo quality, please?

Sorry for being a tease ladies! I didn't mean to be! These are a few of things I'm getting ready for a show I have coming up in a few weeks. Thought some might like to see what I'm always chattering about. I am working on a website right now too, and things will be for sale there.
I am really disappointed in the way my photos are showing up on the forums. I am doing them as I always have & they look just terrible. Trying to figger it out, when I'd much rather be sewing.

OH Rhonda I love everything, are you going to sell them? Good job, when ever did you find the energy to do all of them? I know you haven't been feeling so good, but by the looks of things that didn't slow you down much.
