Periodically I seem to go through blogging slumps for no
particular reason. I enjoy my blog and
appreciate the interaction with other bloggers.
I also love having dated records with pictures of my projects and other
quilting activities. So, I really don’t
understand this lethargy that creeps up on me from time to time.
We recently replaced my computer and, to my dismay, it
appears I can no longer download the free Picasa 3 program that I’ve used for photo editing ever
since I started blogging. Many of the
replacements require annual subscriptions and work online rather than as a program
installed on my computer. And I rather
not use something that requires my photos be stored in a cloud. I would love to hear what others are using in
lieu of Picasa. This is my first attempt
at uploading pictures to Blogger using the photo editor capabilities in my
Microsoft package. Perhaps that will be all that I need.
On the quilting front, I’ve added quite a few log cabin
blocks to my design wall. In digging
through my stash of reproduction fabrics I even found some 5-inch charm
packs. I certainly don’t remember purchasing
them or what I had in mind to do with them.
Fortunately, they are perfect for adding some diversity to this
project. The pile of fabrics I pulled
for this may be going down … but that’s probably just wishful thinking.
Wanda at Exuberant Color has been sharing pictures of her
indoor cacti garden. She has an
abundance of blooms this year. My own
cacti blooms are not nearly as prolific, but the orchid I received for my
birthday a couple of years ago, is putting on a show!
Wishing any who read this a very happy and safe
Thanksgiving. It will be just the two of
us this year, but that’s okay. We expect
to have a number of other family gatherings in the coming months.
