The Snow Cometh
Just as predicted, the snow is here! I do have a few things to keep me busy. With that being said, I still have to take a peek every so often to check out the window. I have no idea what I think may have changed since an hour ago. I do have this “Trip Around The World” quilt ready to put under the sewing machine needle to finish up. This particular batting is the lightest weight I have worked with thus far. That settled: it has been deemed a summer weight quilt. I have been taking time out from the sewing studio to park myself nearest the best window light for some reading. A good thing I had checked out several books last week at the library. Another good thing to do on a day such a this is back up computers. I have a “Click Free Multi-PC” device for the two laptops that I have. It’s geared so that every 15 days I get a friendly message to take care of the backups. The notebook type laptop in the living room is the go-to for idle hands such as playing Solitaire, Hearts and keeping track of a quick flip of Facebook or emails. The old timer laptop here in my sewing studio has a lot of photos that I have cataloged over the years as well as all my embroidery designs. The cool part of now having the designs in well labeled folders is the ability to find a design quickly and be able to open it in a program that allows me to change the dimensions of each design depending on where and how I want to stitch it. The backup on this machine is critical as it is eight years old. When it finally boots up its last “Welcome,” I will most likely find out what dumping all these files onto the notebook will mean for me. I am not looking forward to it. Right now this laptop is only a few feet from my sewing machine and it is ever so handy. Yup it is still snowing and I hear Dennis about on the main floor. That can mean only one thing: supper.
