Watch as I master blogger

I'm trying to figure out how to post bigger pictures from Flickr on here. So here goes. If this works you will see the following pictures (and a follow up from last post):

shirt

a. A shirt I sewed for myself, from Simplicity pattern 2856 or something like that. I just went and looked at the pattern and forgot the number on the way back to the computer. It was an easy sew, but the neckline was pretty low, so if I were to make it again I would bring it in an inch or so. Great fit otherwise. And I especially love this fabric I got at the thrift store. Some sort of lovely linen blend with a great pattern. I wish I could get more of it actually.

the tomatoes!

b. My tomato garden. It's about a 5' square patch of solid tomato. Like a tomato plant cube that is spilling over into the herbs and melons. Don't know what I'm going to do with all those tomatoes when they get ripe, but I'm sure it will be delicious. If only I could get Clara to eat some too. And my yogurt turned out great by the way! I already made another batch and frozen yogurt twice and ate it all (with some help from Clara) I'm also about five pounds heavier since last week, I'm addicted. If I had to choose one food, right now, to live on and only that, it would be frozen yogurt.

evening walk

c. An illustration I did a long time ago, which I have been printing out over and over again to try and figure out my $%#^@ photoshop printing problem. Everything prints out dark from Photoshop! but if I place the same file into an illustrator document and print it out, it's perfect. I can't figure it out. I've been learning all sorts of things I never wanted to know about color profiling mumbo jumbo and it's not helped one bit. OK, going to push the publish button now and see how it looks.

  1. It looks great from this end. We have a similar tomato patch but no shirt nor picture. Tyler is our in-house computer wizard and could possibly help with the PhotoShop printing problem. His e-mail address is tyhill@gmail.com.

  3. Tyler was here for dinner and I asked him about your printing problem. Even though he is our in-house computer wizard, our in-house PhotoShop wizard is Dave. Cori's email address is corihaskell@yahoo.com.

    Good luck.
