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.Originally Posted by Shea
Okay, here are the kids. I'd have taken them out of the cage but I have to get ready for work now, and their wings aren't clipped. It would take too long to put them back.
The other shot is a project that I can finally get back to finishing now that my study is over.

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.

I dream of a better world where chickens can cross the road without their motives being questioned...
Here is a thread about how to post images in the forum without attaching them if anyone is interested....

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!
I tried knitting, but when my grannie taught me crochet, I prefered it. I've been working on a baby afghan for a friend during study breaks. I like crochet, but I won't find myself doing it for hours like cross-stitch or lit forum reading!
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.
Good luck with your afghan project.
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.

Wow. Lovely!!
And the sweaters are nice, too!

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.
