Well, its been quite a week around here. It all began last weekend when my dear daughter and I decided to watch Hulu to catch up on some show we had missed. We got the brilliant idea that we should be able to connect the laptop to the tv and watch the shows. WRONG! Our old laptop crashed and we ended up taking it in to have it resusitated at Staples. While we were there, we purchased a Sony Vio so we would have a laptop for daughter that would support gaming and hopefully take care of her into college. ( we may be living in a dream world around that idea...).
So the last several days we have been spent trying to get 3 laptops (2 older and one new) back into our 'network'. Hubby and I are too old for this, evidently. We finally got a friend of a friend (who is significanly younger) to come over and help. Of course, in less than an hour he had everything up and running and gave us a list of things we need to improve our network!
In the mean time, I traded in my Brother embroidery machine for a newer model. Wow! what fun! (Also has its own 'learning curve'...) So yesterday a good friend came over and helped me start my first project. I'll try to get a picture of my dish towel. It Worked!!
Wednesday I am going to Des Moines with friends for the day. We will be going to the AQS Quilt Show. It promises to be a fun day. Unfortunately, after this week, I will have no money to spend there...nuts! Oh well, it will be great just to see all the quilts and new products.
Ta ta for now!

How About Those Hawkeyes!
I'm not usually a huge football freak, but I think those Iowa Hawkeyes deserve my support! They are doing very well this season. I guess I'm a 'fair weather' Hawk fan.
I quilted a quilt at the shop yesterday. I'll try and get a picture of it when it is bound. I started this quilt 2 years ago when I went on a quilting weekend to a lake in northern Missouri. It was a beautiful setting in late October (about this same time of year, but MUCH warmer). The quilt was from a Better Homes and Garden Quilts and More called Exclamation Point.
Wow, we had our first snow of the season yesterday!! That's just not right. We've been trying to 'winterize' around here. Taking in outdoor furniture cushions, Goodwill runs, etc.
Time to get back to my sewing room. I'm working on a quilt for the shop. More later!
