A beautiful day today, and we should be having a couple more. Then a bit of a change with lower temperatures and perhaps some snow.
This week has been one of getting things done around the house, and working on my various projects. I also found something out. My old laptop is of no earthly use in the sewing/craft room. It is just too slow even with the WIFI booster. So I will be using the new one for various crafts that I need a computer for. Not a bad thing, but it means unplugging and plugging in again at my desk when anything is completed. I am almost tempted to purchase a cheap monitor and use the old mini computer until it is no longer useable in there. That could be a bit more of crawling around on the floor to get power packs plugged in than I really care to do.
This I can say with complete honesty, I need to actually use my Cricut more often as it seems to be that when I don't there is a whole new learning curve. So one month perhaps a project will be making some cards for birthday's, Thank you, Christmas and a few other paper crafts. I should try my hand at doing some embossing with it as well.
I am actually quite happy with how my projects are going this month. I finished the flimsy, have almost finished the ornaments, finished the totes, wove the rug, and am working hard on getting the pieces done to finally finish the rug. All I have left is knitting the next sized mittens, starting to weave the scarves (gift for Kurt and Kris for Christmas) and sewing the rug together. Hope to get a few more of these done before the end of the month. There should be pictures on Saturday to share what I have managed to get done.
Changed a few more email addresses and I plan on doing something about setting up something using Harvey's name for our trip in August.
Still need to let our travel agent know we need to communicate through a different email address as well. I will probably do so next week.
Enjoying the fact that the weather is changing, and I am completing more things around the house as far as decluttering and organizing goes. I have even managed to clear some items out from under my bed, socks and dishcloths for right now. I hope to put together a few more items for the silent auction from that container as well.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
You have been busy - I wish my creative juices were active right now. I just don't have the ambition to finish some things.
ReplyDeleteGosh I would love a Cricut but I don't have the confidence that I could get over the learning curve starting new with a Cricut. I keep wishing my DIL would get one.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue how to use a Cricut but I know a lot of people think they're wonderful. You sound as though you've been making great inroads on your projects you have on your list.
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck on the computer set up. I'm bad at stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteWe have a small Tapo socket, which goes between the items socket and the wall, it is controllable through our phone and 'Alexa', it save being on your hands and knees so much, everything can be switched off in one easy movement. With my computer, I have an multi socket lead, so they only need one socket to control them all, makes life much easier.
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting so many of your projects done. I've been a bit more productive this month, sewing wise, but not in respect of getting housework done. Must try harder.

ReplyDeleteCan you run your computer on battery power for the time you use the Cricuit? That might save you having to get to the wall plug.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has a Cricuit and uses it frequently. I've never made any attempt at it as I'm intimidated.
Looking forward to seeing your photos of the projects.
My niece has a Cricut and has said we can borrow it anytime. they sure do make some nice things with it.
ReplyDeleteI have a good friend who is having issues each time she uses her C too. It won't work right unless she changes format and her old laptop and the C just aren't getting along.
