another day

well, after i posted yesterday, wordpress came back with some suggestions for how to get more folks to see this. perhaps i’ll try that today.

having a totally frustrating day with regard to computers – and these days i have 3 different ones! thank goodness one of them is for local work only – that always tends to remain more sane. this one is for this and other online stuff – business and personal. the 3rd one is dan’s – my part-time work ‘boss’. and that’s where i’m having the problems today! downloaded a trial version of a program that converts word to pdf easily (the 2003 version of word does not include that save option). so, the trial version worked great. problems have occurred as i attempted to purchase and then use the purchased version. first got some warnings about license validation, etc. chose to ignore those. all seemed well and legit. then i didn’t read the installation directions thoroughly, eventually did that and thought it was installed (after uninstalling the trial version). now when i try to use it, i still get the trial version – or something?? when i attempt to register, says i can’t etc etc grrrr. so, am on here while my second installation attempt is completing. not a happy camper at the moment. i have now sent an email to the ‘help/support’ – here’s hoping there really IS such a thing.

and then there is the block i’m working on, for the commission piece. oh how i hope it looks ok with the rest of them!! it’s the cone flower and the current fabric is just not as ‘vibrant’ as what i normally use. color is ok, just a little ‘greyed’. man, my gut is having a bad day!!

so here are the pictures of the first 2 blocks – as finished as they can be until after the outer framing piece is added.

hmmm, thought i had put some space between those. just not a good computer day, i guess.
