CnS..Bendy inspired by Selena..and..

Why can't I get my stupid camera to focus on small things?? I will see if I can get my friend Tracey the camera girl to show me how to fix it..so once again, blurry pics..I figured out how to do lazy daisy so I embroidered it on the gown..so here's Daisy since I didn't name Sophie that (one of my name pics..Tom didn't go for it):


Thanks Selena for inspiration..your bendies are so cute I wanted one like that

I finally got myself a copy of felt wee folk. I swear Bendies are an addiction..believe me there are several I've done for the kids that I haven't posted!!

Dear Mom and Dad- I may parent differently than you did. This does not mean that I think you did it "wrong." However, it also does not mean I am doing it wrong.

Your camera should have a macro button that you use for close-up or detail photos; It's icon is a flower.

When I take pictures of bendies, I set my camera to take the large file pics then take them further away and crop the pic.....does that make sense? It makes the focus much clearer!

She is adorable!!! AND HEY TOM?!?!?!? WHAT'S WRONG WITH DAISY???

meg...adorable!

what they said...i'll look at your camera for you if you want. you should have a close up (macro) feature, but if not, then step back and crop in. your camera can only focus within the confines of it's lens abilities. if you notice, the stuff in the background is in focus...certain mm lenses can focus at a distance but not up close (most point and shoot cameras start several feet away from the camera unless you have macro and activate it)

or...i've got a camera that will work we can take a pic of all of them if you'd like...

Pro...not in a million years..I love making things, but I'm just not as perfect as I feel I'd need to be to sell them, yk? I can make wooly things for swaps and maybe these later on..but I can't see being good enough to sell just yet
