Watermarks–important?

Lesson four in Photoshop Elements with the Pixeladies is how to overlay watermarks or other text on your images. As I mentioned, this is my second time taking the course. It’s exciting to see how much more I’m getting out of it. So while I knew how to do watermarks and text, I haven’t been […]

It’s a Good Thing–or Rather They Are

Before I launch into another blog post about the International Quilt Festival, other good things have been happening. I received a yes to my submission from the Road to California Quilt Show for my quilt “Z is for Zinnia, C is for Cosmos,” the same quilt that won an Honorable Mention in Houston. Show dates […]

Zigzag Pizzazz

Zigzag Pizzazz and Beautiful Corded Shoes

It’s been a few weeks since I posted. Not because I haven’t been busy. I have. Then to make matters more challenging when I tried to post two nights ago I found my site was “temporarily out of order.” Seems I needed to renew my domain name but for some reason never received notice. So […]
