Today it snowed. It actually settled and turned the lawns to white. Even though it had been forecast, it was still a bit of a shock to the system. Well, you never believe what the weather people say do you? I don't. I think a piece of seaweed would be far more honest!!!
This being a Tuesday, the computer is being all narky! I have no idea why, but always on a Tuesday evening it plays up. I ought to give Tuesday a miss, then I wouldn't get so angry and frustrated with it.
This afternoon an old friend - in time not age!! - came up to see me. She is thinking of buying a computer, and I of course am urging her to do just that. I invited her up to play with mine, she wouldn't actually use it, just sat at the side of me and watched how I did it. I am hoping to get her here again and plonk her in front and make her go for it. I explained that I taught myself mostly, at the start of having a computer my friend Di helped me a lot, although I have to admit when she was here explaining things to me, I always thought she was talking in double dutch to me. Sorry Di! hee hee. It really is best, I have tried to explain, to just sit and play. The same as a sewing machine really, play and learn.
That is precisely what I have been doing this evening at my machine. Playing! I am still trying to make some journal covers, [book covers]- I think!! at long last I have it. My word I have it!! I am playing with the fabric and thread, remember the flowers on Leah's bag, I liked the way they turned out so much, I am using them again. Boring aren't I? Don't answer that. As soon as I have one finished, I will post a picture here.
Just thought, I should have taken a picture of the snow. Blow! Its all gone now of course.
This evening I was on the PP site and chatting to Tessa. She is a lovely lady, very talented, she has just made a fabulous table runner, it is brilliant. Tessa is getting me some pelmet vilene for my cards. She works in a shop called Just Sew in Penrith, they do have a website but at the moment in time it is being tweaked, so I couldn't go and view the wonderful things they have for sale. Thanks Tessa, you are a star. Of course I will send the dosh when I know how much it is to be. Hooray I will be able to make more cards.

Snow, oh my...we are looking forward to our first RAIN this weekend. WE need it.
My bag came today. I already told you? Well, I like it so much I just have to tell you again and maybe again...that's how much I like it. I was surprised to see it came from U.K. Duh? Not too astute of me I know,...but now I know. That was a sweet surprise too.
Thanks again and again!!!!!
Happy Winner, Lynn.
