Still Struggling with Technology and a Surprise Gift
May 27, 2024
I am determined to get to grips with this technology issue. (Says she gritting her teeth and pulling out her hair!)
I was all set to buy a new desktop but then Mr Apple wouldn't let me into my Email account and on top of that said I had security issues because I was trying too many ways to get in. So I have put my $3,000 back in my bank account and am going to learn how to use this laptop properly.
I have had some wins, but I am still behind. I managed to link this machine to the printer, download a new browser and attach an external hard drive, air drop a photo, (which I can't open), they were big wins. Next I have to transfer everything over from the old desk top. Hope I survive that!
And then in the midst of all this chaos a parcel arrived in the post from my friend Marion in the UK. It was a lovely embroidery kit .
I already have it set up in my hoop ready to start stitching. I find stabbing easier than scooping when stitching these days, hence the hoop. This isn't something that I would have bought myself but I just love it. Thank you Marion. (This will now be part of my WIPW.)
I spent the morning with the scrap material and and thinking, "should I continue with this, or should I put it all in the bin?" The constant cutting is aggravating my wrist problem but then again it is starting to take some shape. Maybe just a bit each day.
The mess is getting to me but I don't want to waste the fabric. Then again if I put it into the bin I can concentrate on other things?
Decisions, decisions.
It's always infuriating when an injury slows you down. Wishing you patience... - and less pain!

Luckily I had some new shoes fitted and I am walking again, wish I could get an easy fix for my wrist.

You have made such beautiful combinations of prints. I am so sorry that your pain is hindering your work, maybe just a little bit a day is the way to save you from too much discomfort...
