I pre-ordered an iPad ages ago as I was totally convinced I HAD to have one. Then, on Wednesday night, I cancelled my order. Cleaning out my Mother’s house has affected me more than I realized but I started thinking that all this wonderful device would do was help me spend even more time on a computer. I have a desktop, I have a laptop – why do I need another one? I must admit my decision was also influenced by the fact that I couldn’t load EQ into it, nor could I run my embroidery software from it. Oh, well, I may change my mind, but for today I’m happy with my decision.
This is what I accomplished this week.
It’s McKenna Ryan’s Berry Christmoose. This has been sitting in a drawer for at least 4 years - I'm sure it's glad to see the light of day. I haven’t quilted it yet and I intend to add some bling with crystals on the tree lights and star.
I also got my simple bright quilt quilted – here’s a preview but I’m working on the binding now so I’ll post a picture of the whole quilt when it’s finished.
We’ve had record breaking temperatures this week and our air conditioner decided to die on us last weekend. We had a new one installed yesterday so last night was the first night it’s been bearable in this house all week.
I didn’t sleep much though – I’m excited about picking up my new car today!!!!

You've been busy! Both quilts look great. Nice car too :)
Way cool car! The quilts are gorgeous. I have lusted after an iPad for a while but, like you, I don't need to spend more time online. Trying to cut back.
Aww, the wallhanging is adorable! The bright quilt is beautiful too, as is that new car! Are you enjoying it?
I was watching the news tonight showing lineups of people waiting to get their hands on an iPad and wondering if you had yours. I think you made a good decision, I feel the same way about my iPod touch. I should have spent the money on fabric!
Gorgeous car!
Your Christmas quilt is wonderful and I love your idea of putting some bling on it.
Not to change your mind but I find the iPad helps me jump on and off quicker because I'm not waiting for the laptop to boot up but I agree it would be nice to have EQ on it!
