Slow Melting

We like days like this when the cold temps of the night are followed by daytime temps in the thirties.  Slow melting with no flooding.

Quite the scare in my studio.  I was going to look something up on my studio computer and there was nothing that came up.  The poor little curser was aimlessly seeking to attach to something without success.  All I could do was hold down the button that fires it up and hold it for quite a few seconds.  After doing this several times, allowing a good ten minutes between each try, a message came up that Windows had not loaded correctly.  I had a prompt to power off.  That time I waited for half an hour.  The next try was a winner.  We are up and running.  Being as I am not very computer savvy, I try to take things slow so they work out.  Being one to rely on someone else is a card I don’t like to play any oftener than possible.

Today a decision was made for me.  A friend had wanted to learn how to go about working with fabrics and how pieced quilting would come about.  Ann came one Thursday with the intent of coming on Thursdays.  As each Thursday afternoon came about, I would receive a text cancelling out.  After today’s text for this Thursday came for cancellation.  I sent a text and I let her know that I was going to chalk this up for good intentions on her part but perhaps not the right time for her.  In time to come she would realize when she would want to commit to digging out her own sewing machine and give stitching a chance.  The information and fabric I gave her was hers to keep when that chance might came about for her.  Dennis agreed with me that being on someone else’s time frame didn’t sound like a good fit for me right now.

I can share with you that Dennis’ oven meal of last night was wonderful.  I am very happy that the little round blue speckled roaster was as full as it was as we will be feasting on it for several meals.  Sweet.

This afternoon, I have been diddling around in the studio.  The box that had some items in it that could be embroidered on provided possibilities.  Time to look through my flash drives to see what can be paired.  I did purchase yesterday at the Bernina shop a USB Extension Pigtail.  Using the USB port in my sewing machine with repeated use, this will head off damage or fatigue.  

Tomorrow is hump day.  A closer day to the time when we can all be where we need to be without the constant noise of what is needed for us to be productive, aka: furnaces, etc.
