With the exception of pictures of my cross-stitch pieces and other artsy stuff, this journal is friends only. Comment if you would like to be added :)

Happy Birthday Sheila! I hope that it's fantastic!

Does anyone know anywhere that explains how to make icons for dummies? Like for serious dummies. I really want to make some but I don't know where to begin, especially since I have Microsoft Digital Image Pro and not Photoshop. At this point I can pretty much crop a picture to 100x100, but that's all.

Current Mood: bored

( Lots and lots of piccies )

My grandparents have been found and are safe!


That is all :)

Here's my latest picture of my WIP. It's from about two weeks ago, so since then I have also finished the top right quarter's border. Hopefully when school gets out in two weeks I will be able to finish it up relatively quickly :)

Ok last pic spam of the day. Since I didn't make it this year it didn't get to go in the last batch. I made it last year for my mom's bathroom as it's celestial themed, and framed it and gave it to her for her birthday. And yeah I rock at taking pictures *eye roll*, damn flash won't let me be.

And currently I am working on Olde World Map and have been since Christmas, it's taking me forever. So, I think I am going to post pictures while I go so I don't get depressed and feel like I am actually getting stuff done on it. So here it is as of March 27:

( And the WIP... )

Oh, and I just got qsnaps (or the rip off brand anyway) a few weeks ago for this project, and they are freaking awesome! Quite possibly the best invention ever! (after vaccines, electricity and the PS2 of course :)

Current Mood: exhausted

( Ooo, pretty pictures! )

Current Mood: artistic

This first one I made my Meme for her birthday since she loves lighthouses. It took me probably about two months and she loved it. Oh, and my mom framed it.

This is a Christmas ornament I made for my Grandma for Christmas, I had a big kit I was going to make for her, but I didn't get around to it, so it will wait till her birthday. This took me about a weekend, probably about two hours to stitch and then like twice that to put together, and a week to get the freaking superglue off of my fingers :)

This one was for my Grandmother (the last one I have, promise:) It was also another Christmas present. It took me about a month and my mom also framed it, because she has mad skills, and I, well, dont...

This first one I did over the summer, it took me about two months and it's from a pattern that I made. I think I posted it before, but looking back through my journal I couldn't find it...

( Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring )

This one I made for my dad for his birthday last November, it took me about a month. My mom framed it, and I helped hehe.

( Celtic N )

And yet again, I have this inkling that I put these up before, but I could just be crazy.

The absolutely fabulous rickenbacker showed me how to put pictures in my LJ, so here is a weird picture I took today because I had too much time on my hands :) *crosses fingers* Hope this works :)
