You don't look very happy in that first picture, Shakira, there must be a story behind that pouty face. ;)Quote:

So...good pics. Way to keep this thread going everybody
Well. . . yes there is a story behind that "happy" face of mine. :D I had just returned from a B'Day party & wanted to wear the party hat for the pic & my dad didnt allow me to. So I frowned when he took the pic. :D This pic is quite a favorite among my family & friends.Quote:

Shakira, your brother was an adorable little kid, and he looks quite grownup and distinguished now.
http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/users/44b2f...dyvsEBxvMHDXxm We've finally got a digital camera...sort of. It's a cheap little key chain thing that looses battery power quickly. It's pics aren't all that clear (obviously), but here's me and my harp.
This was the only way Leo could figure out how to link the pic to my message. If someone would explain an easier way, I could show you our lovebirds, Ozzie and Hariett.
oh! we didn't realize that that attached image thing would come up! It wasn't there when we previewed the post. That other shot is Leo when he was a sprout. Isn't he cute!
well, I tried to take some pics of the chirpers, but there's no flash on this thing and the light is bad in this room at night. I'll try again in the morn.
Great pictures from both Shakira and Shea.
I'd love to see a pic of your lovebirds Shea, being a bird person myself. In fact, I posted a pic of my little conure here on a thread about pets.
How cute! I love conures too. I'd fallen in love with one at a pet store once that was very playful. The girl who worked there always toted him around on her shoulder. She said that once when he wanted her attention, he grabbed onto a lock of her hair and just started swinging! Sadly, I couldn't afford him at the time.
If you upload your pics to have them `hosted' at say http://photobucket.com/ you can copy them to show right in your post, otherwise if they are just on your computer hard drive you can only post links like you have done.Quote:

The other shot is a project that I can finally get back to finishing now that my study is over. :banana:
Oh, what sweet little birds. They're darling, shea. Is that a cross stitch project? It looks great. I used to do a lot of that, but I've taken up knitting lately instead.
Very nice pics Shea!
Hi everyone!!!!!! Great pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :nod:
Here is a thread about how to post images in the forum without attaching them if anyone is interested....
How to post images
Thanks and yeah, it's a Teresa Wentzler design. Those are some of the toughest I've ever done, but when you finish them, they are well worth the effort! Technically, I haven't finished any yet (I've started three), but my mom has, and it's beautiful!Quote:

Hey Pet, I'd love to see some of your projects!
I've been hooked on knitting ever since I figured out it's something I can do while reading at the same time. As a grad student I do a lot of reading, and it's nice to be able to make something tangible at the same time.:lol:Quote:

I don't have any of my embroidery conveniently photographed (and much of it's back in Chicago right now), but I realized I had a couple pics of myself wearing some recent knit projects. The first is a wool sweater I did this winter (and people can see the unvarnished me after a day of studying in this one ;)), and the second is a shirt I just finished using a really cool stretchy ribbon yarn. I've made some blankets too, but I don't have pics of those either.Quote:

Thanks Robin. :)
I have some then and now photos...
This is me and some friends (twins) when we lived in Florida....14 years ago. I am in the middle.

This is us (in March) when I visited. Again, I am in the middle.

Sometime I'll find a current one of just me...my hair's different now.
Those are absolutely adorable Vintage! You all were darling babies and now look like very elegant young ladies. :)
My thoughts exactly....Quote:

Awwww...how old are you now, piper? (do you prefer vintage or piper?)
I can't go back and compliment each individually, but let it suffice for me to say, great photos all.
Thanks! I will be 15 in 3 weeks. :nod:
Those pics are very nice, vintagepiper and Petrach's Love. PL, your sweaters look very nice. My sister can knit and crochet well too, but the only thing I seem to be able to knit is scarves...
- I can barely do a potholder! :lol:Quote:

You ladies look very nice Piper! What's that old song?... "Oh, you must have been a beautiful baby...."
Thanks. :)Quote:

You can't really tell, but the bottom half of my hair is dyed black ;) My natural color is brown.
Wow, very fetching. :thumbs_up :D :brow:
I can't help but notice you still haven't posted a pic, Robin...;)

That pic was 1 1/2 years ago since then I have grown about three inches taller and eh... have a very manly gottee and ah.... have very large mucles from days and days of laughing at people who go to the gym.
Most observant.Quote:

Shea, I prefer crocheting over knitting as well. I am not overly skilled in either, but my sister can do all sorts of handiwork, and well. I may post some pics later in the summer when I finish my projects...
I love knitting but haven't picked up crocheting yet.....I really want my younger sister to teach me tatting though.
Piper--The most recent pictures you posted both look great. You have a lovely smile.
Thanks Piglet. :)Quote:

I had no idea we had so many knitters/crocheters/embroiderers etc. on this forum. Maybe the ladies of the forum should start up a virtual stitching circle thread showcasing our own photoalbum dedicated to showing off our handiwork. ;)Quote:
