Craft, 50’s blog, moving rooms and RIP Digital Camera!


I’ve been working on my “other” blog lately (thus the quiet chirping on this one). I started surfing a bit for other 50’s house remodelers and there just don’t seem to be many…however there are a LOT of folks ripping out 50’s stuff..heathens! 😉 Anyway, I’m taking advantage of this and sprucing up that blog. I’ve also started a Flickr group for 50’s house remodelers. I need to post a few more of my old photos…just haven’t found the time.

So, the waiting is over. My digital camera is dead…or at least can pretty much be said to be. It was a $200 camera and it will cost $166 to fix it. ICK! So, I will have to make do with my webcam and scanner for a while. Maybe some real photos on disc or something. The camera repair guy suggested I buy a “real” camera (not in those words, but kind of). Anyway, I’m going to do a bit more research this time…apparently I’m not the first person to have this issue with my camera.

I totally reorganized all of my fabric today and sorted it a different way (hopefully so I can find things and also provide some scraps for the little mini class we’re doing on postcards next RMCQ meeting). I’m ready to stitch up two pillow covers for the downstairs (cool kitty fabric) and make a pincushion for my new box (it was an old cigarette box…very cool…I’m going to rig up my webcam so I can take photos – I promise). Then I’m replacing my husbands jean jacket collar with some really cool tapestry, so I’m sewing, but it’s all kind of practical stuff. Hopefully more pictures and info later this week!
