YAY!!!! It's finally finished! And it has been just a joy to watch go from one thing into another...I'm talking about the crochet picture frame that I refashioned into a pillow case,....but that then I reconditioned into a place to put my brand new baby poem...and then collaborated with my 'tiggerific' friend on, and ended up changing it even more...into an embroidered silk-backed poem on a baby pillow, with tiny crocheted flowers ...that you can display in a little baby's room! ^_^
Oh Yeah! This crocheted picture frame/pillow cover/baby room art has done a lot of changing over the last few months...and each new step was a new found joy! :-] ... Now I just have to work on getting it photographed presentably, and priced, and listing for sale in my Wuglyees shop! :-) ....That's where my joy has turned into a 'sour lemon face'! LOL
I really....really...wish I had a professional photographer, and pricing agent, around here!! ^_^ Here are my attempts at photographing my newest joy... (now you'll see what I mean!)...
This dark under-exposed photo of the pillow cover was the best one of the bunch....and there was a whole BUNCH taken!...Hubby even tried to photograph it in the backyard....YUCK!...Not even one of those photos survived!!
I took it at angle after angle, light this way, no light that way...
UGH!...
The only thing good about these photos is that you can clearly see that it's a pillow! LOL...And you can see that it has little pink and white flowers.....and, okay, you can see that it's crocheted, and the words to the poem can be read.
...But other than that! ^_^
Back to the photo drawing board!! LOL
I'm complaining, but considering how long this little project has been dancing around in my "To Get Done" bag, I'm very very pleased.....joyful even...to see it finally finished! And I have a question you can help me out with. Should I sell the pillow cover and the pillow insert together...and charge the large shipping fee...or should I keep costs lower and just sell the cover and let the customer buy their own little pillow insert locally?! I think it's a pretty standard baby pillow size.
I'll wait to see what you think. In the meantime, I'm gonna go and try to get something done on the whole 2 or 3 hours of sleep I got last night!...*shaking my head*...I even had to wake hubby up and have him open a window in the bedroom because one of the times I woke up I had a 'head in the oven', claustrophobic fit!! O_O A first for me!...What's up with that, Mr. Hormones?!!!!!!
Oh Yes, it was an adventure when I finally calmed and cooled back down..and then had to put that C-Pap machine back on to go to bed!!!! UGH!...Needless to say, hubby and I both are probably gonna need a couple of naps today!! ^_^ My poor 'Wobbly Wibbly' daddy! LOL I'm very fortunate to have a man that can 'hang' when I'm 'wigging out' on him!!...even if he doesn't know how to establish a proper nickname for his 'yet to be' children!! (You had to have been here the last few days to know what that's all about! ^_^)
Anyway...have a good day, Everybody!....And get some sleep, will ya?!.......Oh, that's for ME!!! LOL
Baby Waddle
So-you don't have a strut
like a skinny runway model.
Walk proudly as you stroll,
with your 'Hippy' baby waddle!
Pretty soon it will be over,
and you'll walk your baby's bottle
back and forth all through the night;
And who will notice if you waddle?-
With your smiling babe to coddle
