Cheryl, Carole, Sinead, Serah, Kelly, San, Lisa, Becky, and Biscuit, thanks!
Joy, Scarlet, and Glory, thanks, and I will try some of those static-eliminating tricks and report back.
Isis- I'm glad you like the bookending : ) I think it may be the single most important things I've learned at YLF! And Angie has now crowned me Queen Bookending, so I guess I've finally figured it out.
Makrame - I've started using the color wheel to come up with color combinations I wouldn't have thought of myself - I've been into "triangular" combos lately.
Jules - LOL. When I use the dining room table as tripod, it does always give me a bit odd proportions. Maybe I need to improve my camera work : )
Angie, I will have to change your title, now that I know that bulldogs are on the dumb side. YOU are certainly sharp as a tack, so we'll have just have to stick with your other stubbornness-denoting titles that also allow for keen intelligence ; ). 11 out of 10 on ALL of them? I can't believe it! Hooray! Thanks : ) I realize that bad fit was a major problem for me before YLF - I'm so glad that I've finally started to figure out how to judge good fit (and that I have the forum to help me when I can't).
