Catching up




Well, it's been a month and a half since I last posted. Seems like there was just no spare time for it. I was really busy as far a work trying to manage everything that was needing to be done. When I get home I just want to try and crochet or quilt or read, so I put my blogging aside. I was still lurking around seeing what everyone was doing and "finishing" and enjoying seeing all of the wonderful creations.
Since I haven't been blogging long , I've still got so much to learn. Today I finally figured out how I can use my laptop (which is at home) for all of my blogging. Up until now I've only been using my desktop at our business since I had learned how to scan my photos on to it. Problem has been I really shouldn't use any of my time at our business doing this. Takes away from what I should be doing. Today I learned all by myself to download all my photos into my laptop from my cameras memory card. I've spent the last year learning about my new Kodak digital camera/printer dock and this laptop. Kraig(my middle adult child) has been guiding me and let me know that I have the photo disk in my camera that will load right into my laptop instead of having to print every picture and then and then scan it in. So now I can add pics to my blog at home. These things are so simple once they are learned. I'm really surprised at what I am able to do even if it is what a grade schooler can do. I never thought I would have a laptop computer at home let alone be learning what I am. Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to post more regularly.

I have been working on some different projects, so I'll start playing catch up and get photos posted at least. June and Eve at the Crochet Along are going to have July as WIP month.

Both WIPs and unfinished item will be invited. I have lots of WIPs and lots of unfinished things( called UFOs in the quilting community), so I can show everyone what I'm working on, finished or not. So here goes.

I wanted to try the Inga Bag and did finish one. I don't know why I picked those darker colors. So I'll wait till fall or winter to use it. I did start another using a different granny block pattern and much lighter colors. Think I can finish it soon. Hope so. Would like to use it this Summer.
