If it seems like I have been doing very little sewing - your are absolutely right! My goodness, transferring from the old to the new computer has been a big deal - poor son-in-law and I had a few very serious disagreements, but at least here we are. Oh, I guess only 3 days to get completely set up is not too bad!
I have gone pincushion crazy lately - Heather Bailey's fabulous pattern! - to date, two pears and one apple. Wow, it is a great pattern!
The apple is sculpted - see the indent in the bottom and it sits beautifully, too!
We are currently going through some of the worst weather I have ever experienced - very squally wind and rain - but then, we live a 10 minute walk from the Indian Ocean, so we are really copping it. When I lived in the tropics, I went through several cyclones and it was as bad as this - we even had a tile fly off our roof at 4am and were so lucky to have Emergency Services come out and temporarily patch the spot up with a tarp and sandbag. It should all settle this afternoon - let's hope so!

I will be able to read so many more blogs now and answer emails so much more quickly now I have this speedy little girl to help me on may way - really looking forward to it!
♥
Have a lovely week!

Darling pin cushions and love the fabric for the baby quilt! What do you stuff your pin cushions with? Just plain polyester fiberfill or something just for pin cushions?
Hope you make out ok with the weather!

Your pincushions are lovely. I have only one so it travels from room to room with me. And I do understand about changing computers. I get really excited about getting a new one and then realize what I have to go through to get it up and going.
Adorable apple Lurline! 8-)
Isn't the speed of your new computer great! That was one of my first realizations when we got our new computer!!! 8-)
