Ready to hit the road!

My computer became very ill on Saturday and is in the computer hospital. I have tried to post from my tablet, but photos are not uploading. What fun is a post without photos?
I had promised to show the projects I had chosen to take on retreat. So much for my promises!
In deciding what would go with me, I piled the projects that demanded my attention in a corner of my sewing room. There were a dozen. I talked myself down from that ledge and ended up with 6 (I guess it could be 7 if you count the leader/enders I tossed in).
I have packed 3 large quilt projects, 2 minis, and one wool project. I know it is only a 3 day retreat, but I like variety. :)
Maybe when I return at the end of the week I will have my computer once again, and I can share what I actually accomplished.
I hope you all get some time to play with your fabric this week! I know I am looking forward to three days of intensive creative therapy after weeks of almost none.
Until next time,
Janet O.

  2. So sorry about your "ill" computer, Janet. When my computer acts up I begin to feel ill, too. I have a love/hate relationship with technology. I hope yours returns to you in good shape. Have fun on your retreat!

  8. Computers can be frustrating! In fact, any technological device! Have a ball on your retreat. We will be patient in waiting for photos of the frivolity!

  20. Hope you have a wonderful time at Retreat Janet. Sometimes its good not to have a computer I have found ... seems to free up time that can be spent on creative things.
