More quilty stuff here’s the first block for a quilt journal project. |
In between watching the spectacle that is the Olympic Opening Events, I got a few more columns of the new quilt sewn together. Here’s a collaged view, which photoshopping of accounts for some value changes that aren’t there in real life.
I was afraid I wouldn’t like it as much once the squares got larger, but I’m really liking it a lot!

Confused by what all the CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-R soup is about? Spent more than one session pondering multisession burns? Let’s just say the take home message is WORM. Don’t you hate people that use acronyms to answer questions about acronyms? How do you feel about people who answer questions with questions? OK, here’s more info about multisession burns.
the end of the watch saga
If you don’t work with me, you probably aren’t current on the watch saga. To summarize, I took my watch off to make meatballs, and when I picked it up the next morning it was totally dead. Figuring that coincidentally it just needed a battery, I took it to work and was told that it would cost $10 to have a new battery put it, but it wouldn’t be water resistant any more. OR I could pay $20 plus the cost of the battery, be without my watch for 3 weeks and have a water resistant watch. I need the water resistant feature because I keep my watch on all the time and I’m always putting my hands in water. It seemed stupid to spend about half the cost of a new watch for a battery. The woman telling me this assumed I would just have her put the battery in and didn’t get why having a non-water resistant watch was a waste of $10.
OK – fast forward to today. I went to Macy’s and looked at watches and bought an Anne Klein watch, water resistant, that is a silvery bracelet rather than the big black timex ironman deal. For that I forked over about what I’d spent on the ironman version. Oh, and it has a cool, slightly funky font for the numerals. All it lacks is the night light feature. I’ll trust that if I really need to know what time it is in the middle of the night I’ll be able to make out what the alarm clock says.
Update: Go here to see my new watch (and the new sweater and the newest quilt!
