My old Dell computer died a slow and painful death. First it got very, very slow. It took me about 10 minutes to get into my e-mail, and then it dragged its feet, once we'd arrived.
Next, one of the ports went. If, like me, you don't (didn't) have a clue about what a port is, it's one of those thingies where you can plug things into. Like the cable for your camera???
One wasn't bad, but when the second port went, that was it for posting pictures online.
But still, I persevered. Kept on using Old Lady Dell.
Finally, the fan went. The fan is the gadget that cools everything down, so the computer will keep on running.
I could still use my computer, but now it was taking a half hour to get on, I could only stay for about 10 minutes before it overheated, and then I would have to (manually) shut it off.
Anyway...new computer.
And now I have pictures!
I'm working on (or recently finished) a number of projects...

| New salad bowls. Found plain, battered wooden ones at a Second-Hand store. And in the background, you'll see my "recycled" single-door wardrobe. It's a pantry now. |
 |
| Hand-painted (on an old white sheet, using acrylics) market bag. The quilted pieces are actually all one piece, painted in an attempt to resemble a quilt. |
 |
| Nothing fancy, but I loved the fabric (scrounged from yet another Thrift Store). This is going to be a floor cushion. It's stuffed with old scraps and clean, but discarded clothing items. |
 |
| Soon-to-be cushion...or market bag. Lovely find in a Thrift Store. How could anyone part with this lovely piece of needlework? No matter. It's mine now...and I WILL appreciate it. |
