Slow innernets = More sewing :o)

My DH recently bought an Ipod touch. This is an amazing little gadget that can connect up to the innernets and keep him amused for hours. However. The stuff he’s been playing on has taken up buckets of downloads and so now we’re on ‘go slow’ … dial up speed, and it’s taking ages for the simplest thing to be done on the ‘puter any more he he he. So, for the next 10 days I’m guessing there will be a lot more stitching than ‘putering going on in this house lol.

Here’s what I’ve been up to these past few days – another Sewing Caddy set!!! This one is in “Mill House Inn” by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda – Oh I just LOVE those fabrics :o) …. And I’ve also been making a store sample of my “Slice ‘n’ Dice” quilt in the GAWJUS “Martinique” range by 3 Sisters for Moda – Isn’t it just divine!!??! I’m quilting the blocks at the moment (it’s quilt-as-you-go) - so I’ll show you more when it’s looking more like a quilt lol.

Have a great weekend …. I’ll be spending most of mine with my Janome he he he.

Ya get days like this ………

Monday started out terrific when the mailman called with these…….Oh Yummmmmm, am I drooling LOL???!!!!…. This is my bee-yoo-tiful “Martinique” – 3 Sisters fat quarter bundle … my very FIRST fat quarter bundle. Ooooh, I LOVE it!!! I haven’t even undone the ribbon yet, still revelling in it’s fabricky yumminess :o)!! And these too ……… I love this range to bits …. “Blush” by Basic Grey. Aren’t they so pretty??!!? I have charms to go with these too {{{sigh}}} ….Monday afternoon when I got home from my quilting group I see that I ‘ve got an order for some patterns needed asap. No problem, I could print them up that night and post them first thing in the morning. But this is what I got half way through the run ….. EEEEEK!!!!! and a stupid “alarm” light as well ….. I begged, I cleaned, I cajoled and I even googled, but nothing was gonna take away that stupid message. It should’ve just said “I’m dead .. buy a new one!!!”

So …. that’s what I did bright and early yesterday morning.Of course, nothing can go smoothly can it. I got it home, hooked up the printer and installed the software, which took about an hour after falling over packaging and struggling to get the darn thing out of the box in the first place ….. only to find out that it too is broken!!! AAAARGH … googles, phonecalls (both to no avail) then back it went into the box with all it’s packing (not quite how I found it but hey, ya get that!!) and back to the store for a refund. Simple yes?? Nope!!! I forgot the receipt!!!! Drove all the way home, got the stupid receipt, went back to the store, exchanged the stupid broken printer and brought the new one home.

Oh Pretty ……. and it works ……… phew!!!

Deadline met …. patterns are in the mail :o).

All’s well that ends well they say – but oh, what a day lol ;o).

How was your day????
