Boy, It's Been a Long Time, Hasn't It?
Soooooo.....for the 4 people who actually read this, I've been experiencing major computer difficulties. Like my trusty laptop contracted a nasty virus (I'm still convinced it was a electronic version of the swine flu, but the techie who fixed it said it was just a Trojan. Horse, pig, what's the difference?) that it took almost 6 weeks to recover from. Of course, my working full time didn't help out the situation. So now it's back to the good life, with work only a few days of the week, and lots of time to sew in between.
Today's "Third Saturday Extravaganza" at Marilyn's Pickets and Patchwork over in Nyssa, OR turned out to be a total hoot. Pat, up to her usual ploys, dressed as the great pumpkin and delighted us all with witty descriptions of the happenings at the shop. We laughed and giggled collectively like a bunch of school girls, and it's sad to say but I'm probably the closest person to a school girl attending these monthly soirees at a respectable 32 years of age. Today I took a project I've been working on for the "Finally Finished" show-n-tell part of the day, and I proudly displayed my little wall hanging I've been working on since this time last year. The oohs and aahs of the crowd properly puffed me up, and I'm feeling quite pleased with my little masterpiece. I plan on displaying it for the upcoming holiday of Thanksgiving, and I'll include a picture for all of you when I've got it displayed properly.
Now it's back to fun projects for me. I'm currently working on what I'm always working on this time of year -- Halloween costumes! And yes, I am making one for each member of the family, including Mya's pet puppy, which is luckily stuffed and doesn't require walking or feeding, although she does take frequent naps. I hope to have those finished by later next week so I can get back to work on another quilt I've had on the back burner for about 6 months. Perhaps I'll have it finished by the next 3rd Saturday, earning me another (much needed) puffing up.
