I had a few minutes to play around with Photoshop Elements this afternoon and was delighted to try a free action from the CoffeeShop blog. I used the CoffeeShop Web Drop Shadow action on the photo above. It wasn't hard to do at all. Really! And free is good, right?
Plus I did a little googling and discovered how to remove the irritating little gray line that blogger likes to place around all of the photos. The tutorial that I used was Jacq's tip. Worked like a charm!
Are you starting to think about what you'll be making for Christmas gifts this year yet? The girls and I have been talking about some projects that we have planned here and I thought you might like to see how we make our boys' favorite denim quilts.

Daniel with his quilt~ four years ago now! |
We make two sizes... a twin size and a crib or youth bed size. As time allows I'll take photos and post a tutorial for you. In the meantime, save those worn out jeans, ok?
Enjoying autumn here,

I would look forward to that! My three boys would like that.

Oh, your kitchen looks lovely in the morning! I had to chuckle...it seems there is a perpetual clutter of milking equipment, etc. over here. Good to catch up with you!

You've been busy posting Susan and I have not had the luxury of visiting friends too much lately. Soooo...there was MUCH to catch up on! I so enjoy my visits here. :)
ReplyDeleteI *love* those quilts!! What a lovely gift!! I am now sad that I have gotten rid of jeans that were too old to pass on just recently! :( BUT...I will save them from now on and hope to see how you make them into quilts.
Sending you hugs from Canada. :)
