Cherry and Cherries

I have not forgotten about my blog, it's just that I have so little time and so much to do! I've been trying to find easier ways to post photos. I wish there were a one click option, but I haven't found it yet. Previously I had to first download the photos from my camera into iPhoto, then exported a photo in to a folder, then opened the photo in PhotoShop so that I could resize it for the web, then uploaded the photo to blogger. Way too many steps. Now I have discovered that iPhoto will do the resizing if I fool it in to thinking I'm exporting to a web page. This is great. One step elminated.

I tried Flickr.com, but I don't like the fact that if you click a photo on my blog you are then taken to the Flickr site and off of my blog. So forget about that option. Although, Flickr is a nifty way to have a photo album to share with friends and family.

So, anyway, here is a picture of my latest work. It is titled "Cherrys" because the image of the Dalmatian is of our former pup, Cherry and she is under a cherry tree branch. I made this piece for my daughter's birthday. I started and finished it on the same day! See what procrastination can accomplish - I waited until the last minute to decide on a gift and then had practically no time to make it - but thanks to next day delivery it made it to her doorstep on the right day!




We are finishing up our last workshop tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have more time to blog and actually develop a routine!
