It rained all day, a perfect day for sewing..............
and I never made it to the sewing machine. I seemed to find a million other things that needed to be done. One was hooking up my 19" HDTV to my computer so it could be my monitor. It is about 2.5" wider than my old monitor and 1" shorter. I just wanted a little TV to sit on the top shelf of the desk by my computer when I bought it a month ago. Since I would be sitting only 2 feet away I didn't want it too big. If I had known it was going to be my monitor I might have gone for a 22". I was able to use the video and audio cables from the old monitor so it didn't cost me anything extra.
I have the computer up on the desk to my left so I can easily get to all of the parts on the back when I need to plug or unplug something. I also think it stays cleaner than if it were sitting on the floor. My printer is to my right AND my desk is never that clean. I had to move everything to switch monitors.

Yesterday was strips and curves day on my list but the bin of Christmas fabrics that I needed to audition for a border are behind the double design wall that my Rosebud quilt blocks are on. I did a little hand sewing on my queen size binding and caught up with a couple friends by phone. I also cleaned up my laptop, deleting unused programs, getting rid of excess and duplicate photos, and running defrag. It is a little faster now.

Today is Rosebud day so maybe I can get the final blocks made and stitch the top together.
