I have some more tweaking to do, but I’m tackling my to-do list(!) and instead of just thinking about working on the new look for my website, I’ve actually gotten a lot of it done.
New look

I’m going to try to do some stuff to the website design today, so don’t be surprised if you come to visit and it looks a little messy.
Drumroll please:
Wow. I ended up with 172 entries in my quilt giveaway. That included entries from the original post, entries on the quilt post, as well as a number of people that posted on their blogs.
Thank you to everyone that participated. The sad part is that now I have all of these additional blogs to add to my list of daily reads. When am I going to have time to blog???
I know, I know. Get to the results, already.
My initial plan was to print names, and have one of the boys draw. Well, for various reasons, that didn’t work out. Instead what I did was dump everything to a spreadsheet, put it in reverse alphabetical order by first name, and then let random.org give me my random number.
In this case that number was 22.
So, lucky winner number 22 is…..
Congratulations, Shelley!!! I’ll be in touch about the details, like…do you want me to finish the binding, or will you do it??? Oh, and where should I send it!
Giveaways are fun, look for more. Except, maybe not an entire quilt like that anytime soon again.
Computers are cool
I know. Last week I was bemoaning about how UNCOOL computers are. But today, I just did something cool and geeky and fun, and it makes me like computers again. For the moment.
Of course, I couldn’t let my brother-in-law have something cooler than me, so I had to go do my own. I suspect that his handwriting is nicer than mine, but don’t tell him I said that.
To get your OWN handwriting font, you have to go to http://www.yourfonts.com and follow the instructions. You have to print a form that you write your letters on, scan it, upload it to their website, and then in just a few minutes it generates your very own font. I have even have my signature , though I need to go figure out how to get that…hmmm.
I’m up to something like 162 entries in the drawing for the quilt…just 3 more hours until I close it and we draw!
What I did while my blog was on vacation
1. Spent way too much time checking to see if my blog and e-mail and other websites were BACK from vacation.
2. Played Pathwords on Facebook.
3. Tried to quilt a finish quilting a quilt that I’m having trouble with (choosing a design, the fabric is super-busy and I don’t know what to do. Didn’t know what to do. I figured it out, but now I have to execute).
4. Cut out the pieces for two quilts and started piecing one of them. Almost finished piecing the one, actually. I squishy-heart-love checkerboards and churn dash blocks. Pictures later…
5. Spent way too much time checking to see if my blog and e-mail and other websites were BACK from vacation.
6. Ate way too many Hershey kisses while checking to see…
7. Did a radio interview. More about my 10 minutes of fame later…
8. Started reading my new books.
9. Spent way too much time checking to see if my blog and e-mail and other websites were BACK from vacation.
10. Tried to teach Joe how to crochet. He decided he preferred knitting. Maybe because he enjoyed reading Franklin Habit‘s book so much:
11. Spent way too much time checking to see if my blog and e-mail and other websites were BACK from vacation.
Looking for the giveaway quilt? There’s still time to sign up and spread the word, scroll down or click here. I’m extending the deadline until Monday, since it was kinda hard for people to sign up when the site was down.
TTFN-
