PICNIK

The most recent photos posted in my Etsy shop were an experiment with Picnik, a photo editing software.  It has lots of options for free and for a price you can upgrade for more options.  I would be interested to hear your opinion of these new photos.  Is it an improvement?  I tend to over think everything and have edited and re-edited my photos.  Also, which do you like better, the framed photos or the matte photos?  Here are a couple of examples or you can look at my shop at WWW.grandmabenny.etsy.com 

 

LIFE'S A PICNIC?

Two New Garments

Two new garments for my shop.  Really enjoyed making the hat.  Can't wait to try it on a 6-month-old youngster.  If you love to sew, you'll love making hats and bonnets.

The dress is a size 5 and it's a very popular style right now.  It is time consuming if you are particular about gathering.  I think I am obsessive and no matter how long I spend shifting the gathers back and forth trying for that perfect evenly distributed look, I just never quite make perfection.  Oh well, at least you know it's a hand-made garment.

(Yes, I know I need a new background.  It's on my "to do list")

By the way, I couldn't imbed this week's DIY Dish webisode but you can get it by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page.  It's really a good one!!
