I’ve watched and admired Ali Edwards and have enjoyed her “Week in the Life” project over the years. This year I decided to join in. All the basics are set up by Ali, all we have to do is play along. Ready. Set. Go.

Link Love: Knitterly projects, Disneyland, and Remembering an Old Friend
For Link Love this week Diane at Crafty Pod has tasked us with going through our archives and finding our popular posts.
1.
Wee pumpkin pattern – Harvest and Halloween fun in a simple little pattern. And a peek for things to come. I plan to go all out on Halloween this year.
2.
Cheater’s Posole Recipe – Comfort food in our house can be easy. This one didn’t get a lot of comments, but it got a ton of views thanks to its acceptance to the foodgawker website.
3.
The details inside the Happiest Place on Earth – This was my nephew’s first trip. He’s an old pro now and I’m feeling the urge to visit Disneyland again.
4.
Knitters were thrilled that we were ahead of the game with the popular cowl patterns. Now we’re doubling and tripling them up and calling them “infinity scarves.”
5.
I started to cry when I saw that this was one of my popular posts. I’m so grateful to have this picture of me and my wonderful friend’s dog “Boo.” She was my introduction to Australian Cattle Dogs and wicked smart. Although blind, she would gently herd us when we went for a walk. Always keeping count of her people. Boo has since passed away and will always have a special place in my heart.
Free images to use in your crafts, blog, etc.
Sure you can search Google images and come up with great results. But check to see the copyright status, it is unlawful to use copyrighted images even in collages.
OR
Go directly to a site full of copyright free or public domain images. One of the best places to look is Flickr. Museums and archives are putting up historical images and photographs that you can use, and copyright status is easy to check. The most recent addition to “the commons” is the National Museum of Denmark, the source of the image above.
The mariachi photo above is also from Flickr’s commons. It is one of New York Public Library’s photos.
But you can find much more than photos.
I saved the best for last – there are a ton of vintage images ripe for plucking. The vintage Halloween card above was also made available from the New York Public Library. Go take a look.
