Tech 0, Colette 2

When we got our new router last week I had a LOT of trouble trying to get the printer back up and running. After two days of monkeying around with it, FINALLY got it back up and running yesterday. Then, for some reason, our Apple Music Library decided it didn't want to have our music anymore and deleted ALL our playlists.

I'm not too worried about the general music as we have an extensive library backed up on the external hard drive but the Christmas library was gone. I've spent years cultivating this library and it was just...gone!

I fiddled with it for an hour or so and decided technology was NOT going to win this weekend and managed to get most of the holiday music back into the library. I had to sift through duplicates and unwanted arrangements yesterday and this morning but I think I've got it nearly all set. 

Meanwhile, I was able to make my last BOW block in the afternoon...

The last block
I was sweating this one. I had JUST enough white background left over to finish it. And I stumbled upon the last two 3 1/2" blocks by accident while filing away all the left over fabric not needed any further. 
Whew!

I laid them all out to get a feel for what I needed to do next...

Figuring out what to do next
They haven't given out finishing instructions yet, but that doesn't stop me anymore. I auditioned fabric from the pic, and I checked what I had left over and think it'll be good on what I come up with today. 

We have the house all decorated (which prompted the discovery of the music library disappearing) because who can decorate without holiday music playing in the background? I know I can't.

This morning we were warned via the Ring app we have a winter storm on its way around the early evening. The skies were red this morning and while the sun was rising I managed to get a great pick of our first ice skim on the lake...


I may do some long arming today. I miss being on the machines and Christmas isn't getting any further away for those customer deadlines I have looming over my head. But first, the BOW finish.

Veering off the Path

Jim surprised me yesterday and took us to Frankenmuth for a holiday day. We ate how we wanted (no diet) and we just took in all the holiday ...
