Hi, how has your long weekend been? Mine is almost over, and I didn't do quite as much craft as I planned to. But, I slept and cleaned more than I planned to, so I guess it all evens out ^_^
I crossed another thing off my giant craft list - yay! I crocheted a pea pod and a carrot using the pattern in the fifth issue of Mollie Makes. The photo above was taken using one of pages of Mollie Makes as a background ... don't you just love that font and the tiny little flowers? ^_^
Esther the rabbit was happy to participate in a little photo shoot ~_^
I like how the pattern turned out some pretty life-sized vegetables! I have no idea what I'm going to do with them now though ...
I also *finally* finished making napkins from some of my designed fabric, printed by Spoonflower. I made twelve napkins, they have a plain white fabric backing and are finished with a rolled hem.
I'm not really sure how to take exciting photos of napkins though, sorry!
What did you do this weekend? Any tips for how I could add interest to my photos? Or actually take good photos? ~_^

You could take a photo of the napkins in use maybe, like part of a table setting? But I think they're gonna be hard to photograph any way you try!
Oh, that's a reall good idea! I can't believe I didn't think of that >_<
~_^ Thanks for your comment!
I love the crocheted vegetables. You could start a vegetable garden with them and Esther is so cute. How difficult is crochet? Did you teach yourself? I have never picked up a crochet hook in my life but am determined to learn how to do it, as there are so many fabulous amigurumi patterns out there.
I love your napkins too. I would fold them and pop them into wine glasses for a display. This site might help! http://www.napkinfoldingguide.com/
Wow, that website is pretty cool - I didn't know there were so many ways to fold napkins! ^_^
Crocheting amigurumi is about medium difficulty for me, but these vegetables were pretty easy ... that said, I *may* have changed the pattern because I like trebles better than doubles ~_^ My wonderful mum taught me the basics of crochet; she did the first round of a granny square and then let me go for it!
I think having someone to show you is super helpful, but other crafters I know swear by youtube videos. I learnt how to do granny squares first, which I think is good because they teach you chains, trebles, and slip stitches and once you know those, the rest come easy ^_^
Good luck for your crochet adventures! ^_^
Mollie Makes is my favorite! Don't be afraid to go in really close with your photos! the macro setting is magical :-)
I *love* Mollie Makes; I recently splurged on a subscription! ^_^ And I'll take your advice and go macro on my next set of photos ^_^
