AM I CRAZY?

Does anyone know why we can't upload pictures from our pc anymore?
I had to open a Picasa web album to be able to place the peacock room pictures on my blog.....
I thought perhaps it was an issue with IE and upgraded to version 9 but that did not help.

I hate that version, too. It would be better if I could hide my favorites and then call it back up with one button like I did on version 8. I may just not know how......???

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR VERY NICE COMMENTS ON MY MINIATURES.
I DO HOPE TO BE ABLE TO POST MORE OFTEN AND PUT MORE TUTORIALS UP.
WE'LL SEE........

PEACOCK LANTERN

HELLO OUT THERE IN BLOGGER LAND.....
LONG TIME NO POST!
I finally finished one of my lantern rooms; the black colored one with the wide black stripes on the back walls.
I made it into a peacock reading corner.  

Stem wire makes the quill; eyes are reduced pictures cut out and glued to the end of each wire. Paint the wire with white. Run a thin bead of glue along the edge of black cotton fabric, let dry and cut a strip about 1/2 inch wide. Pull threads to ravel the edge as shown. Glue the strip to the "back" of the wire and up around the edge of the "eye" and back down the other side. Let dry and then trim at a sort of jagged edge; highlight with a gold marker/pen and place in a vase.
