Bookmarks, Butterfly

[tarnera]

Okay I found those bookmarks so here's the image heavy post I promised last time.









I'm not sure what flowers these are.



Or these... they're not peonies, are they?



I really like that they didn't go for poinsettias. Poinsettias are beautiful, don't get me wrong, but as a December baby I at least get kind of tired of them after a while. Why couldn't we get Christmas Cactus as our flower? At least that's actually a flower...

/cough/ sorry, didn't mean to go on a mini rant!

Anyway...



This is the one I'm starting now, but... well, it's off center. I have no idea how this happened. And I don't mean a little, I counted and one margin is where the tip of my thumb touches that crease and the other is where my needle is stuck in the cloth. It will be extremely noticeable.

I'm seriously considering ripping it out and starting over, as frustrating as that always is... but I don't have a lot of certain colors that I've used on the butterfly. I don't know if I can do that, much as I want to... /sigh.

image hosting issue?

[fred_mouse]

Hi

I've just come back to look at your bookmarks, and all the images are showing with an image that says "Please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting", rather than the bookmark images.

Yeah... Photobucket has decided to mess the bed and make people pay $400 a year out of nowhere to allow 3rd party hosting. I'm trying to find a good place to put my pictures, and hopefully I'll be able to put them back here after that.

Sorry, you'll have to put up with these awful placeholder things until then :( Hopefully I'll find something soon, but you know... other things get in the way, like life.

wow, that is decidedly crappy on their part. Good luck with finding somewhere to host them. If it is useful - I use Flickr, which appears to be absolutely fine. A little finicky with getting the code to link to them, but I don't think I've had problems (now I'm going to have to work out when I last actually put a picture in a DW post, and check!)

ETA: looks like my linked Flickr hosted pics are still working (see this post if an example is useful)

Thank you! I will see about starting to transfer my images there, at least I got them all off PB without much trouble.

Re: image hosting issue?

[fred_mouse]

No worries. Good luck with getting the pics transferred.

There we go! I hope that works for at least a little while, heh... I'll continue fiddling with it going forward, but this is good enough for now.

\o/

Good going - that was a very fast turn around for getting it sorted!

[tarnera]

I only did a couple posts... I might do more later, since it really is irritating to go back and find all my images broken like they were here.
