Banner shmanner.
It's taken me over 2 hours to upload my new banner, and it's still too big.
I think ?
Hmmph !
I'd much rather be doing this
A little clutch purse with detachable brooch.
There will be a patchwork variation of this purse in here, due for release in October this year.
How exciting !
I love your banner :)
It takes about 10 seconds to load with my ADSL. I guess it might be a bit big for those with dial-up. It's a bit out of focus too.
Good luck with it :)

Love your banner and the clutch purse. Can't wait for that book!

Cute clutch, I love all the beady bits on the flap. Makes it seem pixie-ish to me.
As for the banner, if you need some help, I'm happy to assist.

i maybe teaching you to suck eggs here, but i think the problem you're having is to do with the dpi of the picture. it should be 72, and it looks like it's more, and thus comes out bigger.
Love the clutch though, and congratulations on the (to be) published pattern. :)

I love the banner - it looks perfect to me. The mama hen is looking so sweetly at her baby chick. Congratulations on your pattern in the book! I look forward to getting a copy. Very exciting! Beautiful clutch.

I had to play with mine too for a while when I put my new one up; try this:
72 dpi
Make the width something in the 769pixels range and the height around 395---then see what you get.
If you go any smaller, and then try to make it bigger it will be out of focus--so always work from your master (the big one!)
Good luck, you can do it!
Oh, and snowbooks? Right on! Welcome to the land of the published! You're famous now! can I have your autograph???
Congrats woman; and just so you know I can only see one big huge corner of your banner so I hope this works for you. It should, as we both have typepad!
:-)

The banner is cute, but it did take a while to load. I love the clutch!

It's not physically too big, but it's a slow loader. You can send it to me and I'll work on the kb size for you if you like.

I can only see the top left hand corner of your new banner but it does allow me to admire your stitching which looks lovely :)

Do I understand right, your part of the book? If so, how great indeed. If you ask me, you have so many great ideas you could create a book on your own!!!
