Frustration

My computer is old enough that it can't be updated, has slowed down, crashes daily and was starting to cause some frustration. So this week I bought a new one - I love it, but now there's more frustration. I was able to download everything from my old computer to the new one from a backup hard drive with relative ease. At least that's what I thought until I tried to open Photoshop to resize some pictures for the blog. Today I have spent well over an hour with support and tech support from Adobe only to find out that it won't work. My new computer doesn't have a disk slot, it is an external piece of hardware that I would have to buy. My photoshop will only work on the new computer if I install it from the original disk. So I can either buy a $79 piece of hardware, download a $79 app from Adobe or aperture a $79 app from apple. My current decision is to use the old computer for blog posts.

I have two printers, neither one will work with the new computer and after spending most of my morning trying to get photoshop to work, I've decided to tackle that one another day.

My camera is in for cleaning, there was dust on the inside of the lens. So I'm also without my camera for about two weeks and have dug out the old one and charged up the battery. I've noticed a difference in picture quality, so that's my excuse for bad pictures.

Weekly Stitching
Week #46 & #47

In September I showed some blocks I was stenciling for a leaf quilt, I got side tracked for a month or so but have now gotten most of them done. I've been sticking them up on the design wall by size, when they are all done everything will get rearranged.

I have more of the 6" size to do (upper right ) and a few more of the 3" size(lower right). I may not use them all, I won't know until I start arranging them. The sizes are 9,6,and 3" squares and 9 x 3 and 6x3 inch rectangles that all fit together into 15" blocks.
