photo a day
I started this about 11 days ago. The challenge though: only can use my cell phone to take the photos and do any alterations. No computer programs allowed. I hope to be entertaining on some level. Some of them are sort of personal, like yesterday's:
About once a year I have to have blood taken and have my thyroid tested. The technicians have been taking my blood these past 12 years and I've never taken a photo before! This challenge made me share this experience. I hate needles; have had nurses not know what the ------- they are doing and leave me with bruises; and had to fast while pregnant.
Then other's are more artistic
Every once in a while I will try to blog about the photo in question.
I really want this be a personal experience. This is my camera telling you what I see. Enjoy!

Cute Crocheted Hat
A crocheted hat!
This festive lil'number took about two hours to complete, after approximately two hours of trial and error. Using these two sites

and
http://www.ehow.com/how_4853958_crochet-hat-beginners.html
I began to figure it out. Two hard parts to accomplish: 1. remembering the lingo 2. getting the base size right.
But once that was mastered it went relatively fast, and I was able to incorporate at least three different crochet styles into the hat: a single, a half-double, and a double. PLUs this teaches you how to effectively use the "slip stitch"- a technique I had quite forgotten about.
The end product was then embellished with a two layer flower made from scraps of material. The flower is stitched directly to the hat with red thread. The two pearls are buttons from a craft box (Word to the wise: always keep buttons about; there are so many ways to use a button). The leaf-like pattern was done by threading green yarn in-and-out
