Bird Photo Book

Another project I have been working on is this bird photo book…which Shutterfly should now be in the process of printing for me.  I made 8x8 digital layouts and uploaded them to Shutterfly. I love to take walks and photograph nature, and many times those pictures end up sitting here on my computer. So I decided to put some of them into photo books.  This particular book focuses on the birds.  I am in the process of making another one that has assorted nature pictures in it. Anyhoo, I thought I’d share these with you and hope that you enjoy them. Do any of you fellow crocheters also enjoy photography and scrapbooking?

Please note: All of the digital papers and embellishments I have used are downloaded from the internet, most as freebies.  I do not take credit for any of the papers and embellishments.  I am not listing where they are from, because in all honesty there are too many to list…and I’d have to hunt them down.  If you see your digital papers or embellishments, or somebody’s that you know, please feel free to contact me and I will enter that information where appropriate.  Thank you.

The Big Reveal!!

OK…I’m just being silly with the title of this blog post.  I figure all the more popular crochet blog owners do it for pizzazz, so I will too!  LOL :D  In all seriousness, I am very happy to show you what I have been working on these past several weeks.  It did use up a lot of my leftover threads, but I still have plenty more to use up. This is from years and years of accumulation, mind you.  Anyhoo, I made this runner for on top of our entertainment center.  I have to say I love it!!  I can’t seem to narrow it down to a couple pics to share, so please bear with me.  :)

These first pics were taken outside.

I didn’t use a pattern for this.  Just made it up as I went. Towards the end is when I decided it needed an edging of pretty flowers.

As always, thanks for checking out my blog.  I appreciate you taking time out of your day to check it out.  Comments are always welcome and appreciated.  I generally respond to the comments right here on the blog, so if you should be wanting and/or expecting a reply…this is the place to look.  :)
