I have been busy, Busy doing a lot of nothing. But that is about to change.
My camera stopped working. OMG! What a dilemma! How does one write a blog without pictures? I asked my DD to take some photos for me, but she is much too busy. Online teaching and a hyper William dancing around demanding her attention. It was all too much.
I told her I wanted to buy a new camera. She said, "Just use your cell phone and mail the photos to yourself". Easy for her to say. It was quite a learning experience for me. First my cell phone was dead and needed to be re-charged - all night. Then I wasn't able to send the photos because gmail blocked all my attempts. Making the task even harder was the fact that I have to read everything with a magnifying glass. My eyesight is still not great. I spent the better part of the afternoon trying to figure things out. I guess I'm just not a computer geek. It was damned hard. Lots of trial and error. Mostly error. But eventually I was able to do it. Notice my header? Columbine, Scarborough's official flower.
I have been trying to do a bit of sewing each day. Some days nothing gets done. And some days I can sew for 15 to 20 minutes or so.
I had a whole box full of 2.5 inch scraps. Plus some 2.5 inch strips. So this is what I have been working on, They are called keyhole blocks.
I still have a long way to go. These blocks measure 6.5 by 10.5 inches unfinished. But I am not trying to see how many I can get done. I may only do a wall hanging or lap quilt. This is just a bit of mindless sewing each day to keep me sane.
