Still figuring it all out

I have been playing about with this new computer and all of its bells and whistles. As a result of that and the fact that I seem a tad obsessed about housework at the moment, I have done no work on my quilt. My mind is a little puddle somehow but I am making progress and am playing with iPhoto and Photoshop. That is a nice quiet diversion for my scrambled brain. Look what I came across!!

Remember spring and summer?

I LOVE hollyhocks! I used to make dollies from the blooms when I was little:-)

One of my pretty iris sibirica. Love these too!

I have been pulling a few pictures onto the new machine so I have something to play with in Photoshop. Found all sorts of nice things.

I HOPE to soon show some progress on the new quilt but I HAD to do some housework today. Those dust bunnies are HARES in this house- well, not so much now, but they were! Parts of the house are looking a tad tidier. Now, I think I will go out for a wee walk before dinner. Enjoy the flowers and remember the good times!

REMEMBER TO PUT THE CLOCKS BACK AN HOUR TONIGHT! Pray for us please. Our antique clocks require fancy footwork at this time of the year.

Big changes

Sorry for the lack of pictures but I am in a totally new and unfamiliar space at the moment. I had to return the last computer I bought yesterday morning because it seemed to have a Windows 7 problem and would not work with my photos! SO.... last night, I bought a Mac! I am gradually figuring it out and have my first One to One session at ten this morning but at the moment, I have no pics here yet to choose from, so- sorry :-(  I just wanted to say hello and to promise better soon.

I HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL AND SAFE AND DRY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM. We are fine but had an horrendously noisy night. Still cannot see yet this AM but we are anxious to see if all of our trees are still with us. God bless All!

Computer woes:-(

Sorry I have been absent for a few days. My computer died a painful death a few days ago and I have had to buy a new one ( painful for me !!). The original ended up with a fried motherboard . It was only two years old and when we called the company to ask about it, we leaned that that particular motherboard is no longer made. Go figure. Anyway, I have ended up with a huge new machine but as everything is not fully loaded just yet, I have no pretty pics to show you. Soon, I promise.

I AM finished with the coleus project, photo to follow and hope to start a new quilt, a biggish one , from one of my Photoshop creations. I HOPE it works. It will be VERY complicated to make but I am patient. I am trying to use this unedited pic that shows, if you can scroll in on it, my stitching and heavy quilting. It is right off the camera so it may be too big to use. If so, I shall remove it and edit it later and THEN repost it. Bear with me please. Anyway, good to be back in the land of the living. Hope you are all well.
