WOOOO WHOOOO!! Pic Size info




My last post I asked why my pics were only half as big when you click on then as they had been previously.

You can see that post for some of the answers.

But, Jackie, gave me the best news of all! (Maybe some of you knew this but I did not).
If you click once and it is half screen, then click again and it gets really big. I mean R E A L L Y BIG!
You can even see if I did not dust that day. =)

So, good news to all you crafters who are trying to see how I do things. Besides free tutorials on my side bar, now you can get giant economy size pics of my every day posts!!

Thanks all for coming by.

Oh, for those of you who have asked, I will be doing a tutorial on the Ps 139 jars soon. Just have to get to my craft table!!

In the middle of it all now!
Going into crafting withdrawal!!

Blessings

Anyone know why? SOLVED!



Anyone know why sometimes the pictures get really big on the screen (when clicked on) and other times just get a little bigger?
I have not changed anything on my blog or pics.

I like for them to get really big so you can see details for crafting.

I loaded the top pics just so I have some pretties when you read, and to check to see how big they get.

blessings and thanks for the help.

(these two pics used to go full screen, and now I see only half screen.) ?? wonder why??

"Have you reset your camera to take better quality pics? I find that
when I set my digital to a higher quality of pics the file is smaller to hold more images I guess.

I have reset my camera lately, so I think that is the problem solved. If on my tutorials the pics cannot be seen well enough, I will change my camera back.

thanks to all who tried to help.

Oh, so glad you came by.
No need to call for an appointment next time. =)
Just drop by anytime.


A little sweet doll.
My very first old doll.

Seen better days, but I love her.

A fun idea.

Some things I've worked on in the past.
(a bit of braggin' for Jan. ) =)
I love this.
(sorry, do not know where I got the graphics.
If they are from your site please let me know.)

What I am working on now...
A big mess!!
Changing my huge work room at the store into
a small work room and more display area.
Can't wait to show you when it is done.


Right now everlasting is chaos as we move things around and build walls.
Cannot even find my craft things. =(


Odd thing to see on your walk in the country....

Yes, two chairs, facing each other,
right there by the side of this country road.

What story comes to your mind when you see them??

Thanks for coming me today.
Hope you have a wonderful week, and will
go check out all these other lovely blogs who are hosting.

Two Tuesday Tutes, Threes and Scores





I have not had much time for crafting, or for doing new posts lately, but I do just HAVE to share with you again, my friend Diane's blog. (Diane Knott's Musings)

She has been doing the sweetest tags, now butterflies, and lavender sachets.
I'm linking you to the butterfly tutorial, but please take time to stroll through the rest of her blog from time to time. You will be amazed at the beauty of her work, and blessed by her willingness to share.

And here is a little something from me, for those who have not seen it before.
It is a tutorial on my mini teabag roses.



Fun finds and two more mores:
Basket of buttons and goodies, only two dollars!


Souvenir spoons.
I never even thought about having these in different countries.
But this batch I got had several from other lands.

Thanks for joining me today for these special events.
Please go check out these lovely blogs and see more goodies.

blessings on your day

Sweet Pink & and a Project For You


Some pink treasures from our latest garage sale outing.

I'm keeping an eye out for pretty tea cups.....


And tea pots.....

because we are going to start having Tea & Treats at the store!!!

I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!

We will just have 3 or 4 little tables set up,
and only serve two at each table, for lack of space.
It will just be tea, and a pre wrapped muffin or ?,
due to a non certified kitchen on the premises.
That's OK.
We're gonna' have ball anyway!


And here is my most fave
(and most expensive) tea pot.
I fell in love with this and had to have it,
even though it was much more than I usually spend.
Isn't it beautiful?


OH MY WORD!!

What are these?
They are certainly not pink!!


But if you take those,
and this...

and these...

You get this!!!

Yes, my mini match boxes with mini tea bag roses
have turned pink!


I'm lovin' the change in color!


That is it for today.

Besides a wonderful Pink Saturday,
I hope you all have a Blessed Easter,
as we celebrate out risen Lord!!

Thanks Beverly, and Donna, for hosting.

Decorating help anyone??





I need some advice about an area in my store.

I hope you can see the pics alright to help me decide something.

These two 'walls' go into the kitchen at the store.
They are even with each other, and there is an 18" deep recess and then the curtain.

What I'm thinking about doing is setting the wall on the left back two feet, which would give me two extra feet in the display room. I know that does not seem like much, but would leave a better walkway in that area.
It would be fairly easy to do

If you can see the edge of the white curtain on the left of the picture,
and the shadow next to it, that is where the wall would jog.
That would perfectly accommodate this piece of furniture which will soon go there,
and give a better walkway and space in that area.

The wall on the right could only be moved 6" so I will not be doing that one.

This is a closeup of the wall on the left.
So, what do you think?
Can you envision it?

Thanks for the help.
