Chook n Boo Mum Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 This is not a great pic of my goodies as the etching on the case can hardly be seen, I did try to take the photo with a sock tucked in the vase to give some contrast behind it, but there were still too many reflections........also I was wearing the bracelet & forgot to add it to the photo arrangement ....DH has used his posh camera but I don't know how to transfer the photos off it yet .....at least I don't think I do....I'm off for a look.............. No I don't, I thought I was being so clever, but the last instruction has me flummoxed, you'll have to wait until His Nibs is home sorry Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I know my swapee got the gift I sent, but they haven't posted up to tell everyone else what it is yet. Have they posted since getting it though? don't fret, I am sure they will as soon as they can. Yes, they have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 This is my amazing handmade basket, i'm so impressed by the talents of the omleteers and i'm really glad that my recipient loved their pressie too. The things i make always look better in the photo than when i finish them at home. Maybe its the distance that makes my items look better. http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s247/HellyWelly_photos/2009-11-01027.jpg aaarrrggghhh can someone resize this please Helly, to reduce the pic to Omlet sized in Photobucket you need to click on the picture so you see it magnified rather than as a thumbnail as part of an album. Once it's bigger, move the cursor on to the picture & a row of "buttons" will appear across the top of the picture....zoom, edit, resize, rotate etc....click on resize & select medium...when it asks if you are sure resist the temptation to holler at the screen & click yes! Then copy the IMG code as you did to post the pic in the first place...........ta da....it should be Omlet sized !! Is that crabapples in the basket, it's a bit late for cherries isn't it......my tree is too young to have fruited cherries yet, so I wouldn't know really with a bit of luck I may find out next year Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Wow all the homemade edibles! Mmmm I used to love sweetcorn relish. I've never had elderberry cordial, but it looks very very nice. I bet it's nice with some sparkling wine or Cava! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma.x When I'm off these anti-bs I'll try it & let you know, I can't taste much at the mo & swallowing is very uncomfortable, so I'm waiting for my tonsillitis to clear up, before I give my goodies the attention they richly deserve Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ygerna Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Its here! Its here! It is fantastic (can you imagine me on Christmas mornings, lol) There was a card inside, explaining that my swapper had waited to post till after the strike, so thank you swapper, that is kind of what I thought had happened. Inside were some fantastic homemade... oh, wait, take a look at the photos.... The parcel... On first opening... The wonderful contents... a close up off the fabulous chicken fabric on top of my sewing kit! (Very, very much appreciated sewing kit ). And finally, a big thank you for the foraged chestnuts, things always taste so much nicer when home made or harvested from the wild. Eeek, must go and make some toast to try out the marmalade....

Emma.x No, it just amused me that Christian and others are after the fabric, when I took the photo I actually thought 'I bet people want this fabric'.
