Hi I'm Pooh Bear

[Pooh Bear]

I've been crocheting for about 4 years now and am pretty much self taught.  I just recently moved to NC after living in Florida for my entire life.  Big change but I was tired of all the Hurricanes!  I enjoy crocheting all types of things but love doing things for babies.  I have made several christening gowns and even entered one into a county fair in Florida last March and won 1st place.  I've enjoyed this web site and am happy I found it.  Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Thanks - I'd be happy to post pictures.  I haven't had much luck in figuring out how though.

This is how a member explained how she posted pictures.  Hope this helps....

This is what I do.  First, I resize my photos so they won't be too large;  I use Irfan View, which is a free download.  I click on the resize button, and then in the fiorst box, I put 400 and let the other box adjust accordingly.  After saving the new size photo, I upload it to Photo Bucket, which is a free hosting site for photos.  After the photo has been uploaded, it will have 3 different file names under it;  the bottom one is the one you want to copy and then paste here after clicking on the little 'Insert Image' button above.  You will then need to delete the extra [ IMG ] and [ /IMG ] that will be in your post.  Delete the ones that are capitalized, not the lower case ones.  I'll be back with the links to Irfan View and Photo Bucket.  Both of those programs I have used for a long time and highly recommend them.  Note:  Save your photos as Jpegs
