Hi, i am a new blogger myself (well besides Tumblr) and I checked out your site. So this is coming from a non-techie perspective, but as an average viewer who might stumble across your page.

I like the images next to the text..is there a way to stretch the images just a tiny bit so they fill the whole white box to the left of the text?
Also, i know you want to watermark your pictures, but the watermark itself is a little distracting..maybe sticking it as a lighter shade or putting it in the bottom corner or something. For example, your header image has a gigantuan watermark on it and when the little box pops up with the text on top of it, the watermark shows through the text and makes the text unreadable in the box. (hope that makes sense)

I like the basic layout.

For me the slider goes too fast and it’s seems overactive. The image changes the text pops up and then goes away, that sort of thing. If you slow it down I think that would help. Also, the text part fall over text on the image which make it hard to read.

Also (just me here) on the post pages the google ad between the title and the content is a turn off.

It looks like you have crafts too so you might want to add that to your description. – The dragonfly Chinese knot thing was way cool.
