Thank you so much for your advice and experience when it comes to uploading photos on blogger. I was really surprised to find out that I had exceeded my upload limit. I ended up deleting some photos in my Picasa folder and have hopefully worked out how to upload in a smaller file. If I end up with another message from blogger I think I'll just buy storage so I'll see how I go. Thank you again, now back to more exciting things like craft.
I'll be swimming in this sea of sparkly green for a few days I expect. I put my hand up to help with costumes for the up coming presentation night for Miss 8 and my offer was kindly accepted, I now have 10 little martian skirts to sew. So I got to it straight away and have done all of the sewing by machine now it's time to start hand sewing. I bet you are all
green with envy aren't you;) he he. Ahh the fun of Christmas concerts, it will be worth the work when I see them all sparkling up on stage knowing I had a little hand in it.
And here's an update on my ornament for the
Handmade Ornament Swap, just a little bit to go and then it's off to the post.
I had better get to it now and finish off these skirts for Friday, wish me luck.
