Thank you Marcia! I think using them as an appliqué may be the best way. I would tack down just the tips of each of the petals.]]></description>

Hi Beth! Thank you for commenting! 
I don&#039;t meet very many people who hold their yarn the same way as me! I think it may be strange to some, but it just works for us :) 
I have even had several rude comment son YouTube about it LOL, but oh well. 
First of all, YES! You can sell anything you make from my patterns. I am so happy that makers can build businesses with my patterns, that makes me so happy! 

Secondly, thank you for asking, but I do not allow the use of my photos. However, I am happy to give a few tips to help you with yours. 
First and foremost, USE NATURAL INDIRECT LIGHT. Take them to shaded area outside, or place them next to a bright window. Avoid direct sun as this can cause shadows that are hard to edit. Using direct light is the quickest and easiest way to instantly improve your photos. 
Feel free to share your current photo set up and I can help with a few more ideas.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi! I have a question to ask you. First though I gotta say you have such awesome workmanship! Definitely takes a lot of creative skill and talent. Oh and I&#039;d like to point something out. I&#039;ve been crocheting for almost 20 years and in all that time I have never met anyone or even see anyone hold their working yarn the way I do. Until I had watched one of your videos. I just hold my yarn between my index and middle fingers, like how a smoker would hold a cigarette (sorry, Idky that&#039;s the only analogy that came to me), nothing fancy or complicated like weaving it thru and wrapping it around your fingers. What&#039;s funny is that my name is Beth too! Okay now the question. Correct me if I&#039;m wrong (because I may very well be) but did I read somewhere on your site that you don&#039;t mind people selling the items they make using your patterns as long as they give you the credit and not try to pass it off as their own? Well I would like to go up one more and ask to use some of your pictures. I am very good at crocheting. I am always proud of my finished projects! Photography on the other hand...not so much. No matter what I do or how I do it the pictures never do my work justice. They never come out looking even close to as good as they actually look. Right now I&#039;ve mainly been making baby sandals. They&#039;re just so darn adorable. Not to mention quick and easy to make. But I am lacking a baby to model them. That&#039;s really what gave me the idea to ask about your pictures. Obviously you&#039;d be given all the credit for the pattern, the finished product in the pictures and of course the pictures themselves. I will totally understand if you deny my request. Still I figured it can&#039;t hurt to ask. Thank you so very much for taking the time to read this short novel <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f64f-1f3fc.png" alt="🙏🏼" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> my apologies for the lengthiness.]]></description>
