Saving for a HP TouchSmart tm2t Notebook PC

As soon as I get paid for a quilt I already delivered, I'm going to be saving every cent I get for a HP TouchSmart tm2t Notebook PC.

I have checked one out, and it seems to be the best choice for what I'm wanting/needing.


I'm not expecting any help, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.


If anyone could please help me out by donating ANY money, even a quarter, it would help immensely.

If you're interested in helping, please let me know & I'll e-mail you my address.

Updates across the board...

I have begun piecing Rosey Roses.
This is the design I came up with. I'm really liking it.




Almost a week ago (I think), Nato got me a full account of WoW (World of Warcraft), so I've been trying to not be on that all the time.


We've figured out a system, 2-3 hours on the game, at least 1 hour per day mandatory sewing.

Gettin' back in the groove of things...

I'm finally getting things done...

This is how I've been feeling the last couple months...


I'm trying to take a step back & not care so much about little things that in the grand scheme, don't matter...

I have cut all the fabric for Rosey Roses (Theresa's quilt) and am hoping to come up w/ a new design tonight...

It's been a while...

Well, last Saturday I went to Family Fun Night (yearly reunion, for my dad's side). Anyways, we came home w/ a pretty good haul...these are the 3 major items

  • A hand-quilted Spiderman-themed quilt: for Tobi
  • A girl-themed tied fleece blanket: for Allis
  • A crocheted patchwork blanket: for Allis

Now Tobi has 2 superhero quilts; Batman & Spiderman...


Luckily, last week I was able to finish Hannah & Jason's quilt. I did the great reveal up @ the reunion...

It got a bunch of oohs, ahhs, & cheers!!!

Hannah & Jason LOVED it!!


Last night, I made the design for Theresa's quilt, but alas, I don't have enough of the fabric for that quilt to do the design...so I have to RE-design today...

I need to get this done...

After a week of no progress...

After a week of no progress in sewing or quilting, I basted Rod's quilt & have started quilting it.

Today I will be focusing on finishing the border of Hannah & Jason's quilt, then working some more on Rod's quilt.

If I'm still in the mood to do so later, I will also be cutting out the fabric for Theresa's great granddaughter.
