Books, books and more books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Computers (even when they work) are a BIG waste of time!!!!!   Oh my goodness - I spent a good part of yesterday on the computer. OK - I have to confess - the computer is working like a charm, but I was surfing!!!! Oh dear - actually what I was trying to do was get rid of some paper. You know - you save an article because you know there is more information on the internet, but you don't have time to check it out yet. Well - I did a lot of checking out yesterday. I haven't bought anything YET!!!!!   Added a few things to my Amazon wish list (which is another thing to keep updated!!! as I found a book at the library (after surfing the library database) that was on my wishlist) But I think I will UNWISH this book. While it is a topic I am interested in - I don't think it is worth buying for ME!!!!

Then Tish gave me this pack of adorable buttons and so I had to check out the web site of who made them.

Assembly of Text

Adorable bicycle buttons

And with a CUTE name - Assembly of Text - I had to check out what else they had. Great gift items!!!!!  


Checked out Vegan recipe books and MORE coming from the library - what would I do without the library?????   I would be a very poor person!!!!!   Thanks to Linda and Mary for the suggestions!


I need help!!!!!   I borrowed a scanner this week and was hoping to put all my quilting books into The Book Collector by Collectorz. (software that I bought and I use to keep a record of books that I have read). However while the books scan, I am NOT getting cover pages?????   And some books are not in their database?????   So I have a support e-mail into them to see if we can fix the problem. I only scanned four to see how easy it was. Does anyone have any other suggestions??????   I know there are on-line sites - Library Guru and Library thing (or something), but I have The Book Collector and would like to keep using that!!!!   So - all suggestions are welcome!!!!!   And I might even be able to use the scanner on my phone to scan the books, but I have a hand held one and it will be much easier with that. I am not sure that I want to see the final NUMBER of books and the $ amount!!!!!!   And the best pat - I will be able to access my quilt book database on my cell phone - no more duplicate book purchases!!!!!!  And I plan to sort the books into categories at the same time. It is going to be a HUGE job.


So - you see - most of the day (after my class) was frittered away on the computer. BUT I did get some paper cleaned up and so it wasn't a complete waste!!!!


Started a new group class today - actually TWO classes - well just two different sessions of the same class. And some of the ladies brought in show n tell.

This is a small baby quilt from Cathy

A receiving blanket with PULL fabric on one side - also by Cathy

This is also Cathy's - remember our Jamestown meets Stonehenge from last year - she has the top DONE!!!!!!   And I love that piano key border

Nelda was making these cute little bags - a happy accident. She is going to put two jars of jam/jelly in them as a favour for a small wedding reception. The bags were customized to the likes of the person receiving it. And she made the jam/jelly in NEWFOUNDLAND!!!!!!   

I have some people coming over this morning so I had better get my act together - I am NOT done what I was supposed to have done  - well not all of it. And that is disappointing because it is something that I REALLY WANT to do. Some how I can't make time to do it. I MUST MUST change this attitude!!!!

BUT while I was clearing off one of the tables, I found the FQ of red fabric that I have been searching for!!!!!   Oh yes - I know the benefits of keeping things tidy!!!!!

On that note - I am out of here!!!!!



Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ciao!!!!!!!
