Monday Miscellany -- Update & Pix of My GrandBaby

He is just about 6 weeks old and a handsome boy (I'm not partial or anything...) so I thought I would share a couple of photos with you:

This sure looks like a smile!

My DIL's kitty seems to want to have a diaper change too!!

Luv dem sweet feets!!!

Last week, a DVD I reserved arrived at my library. The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, Season 1, is very enjoyable. It is a series on HBO starring Jill Scott (the poet, singer -- love both and own books and CDs) and is located in Botswana, a small country in the southern part of Africa. If you have not viewed this series, I recommend it.

With the economy still struggling to recover, if you don't already use your local library facilities to check out books, music, videos, etc., I also suggest you check into it. A library card is still free as are the checkouts -- the very best value that I know of for quality entertainment. Many may already know but if you live outside of a city and can only check out in a county or parish library, check other close community libraries and the availability of a library card free from them also. Many local libraries have reciprocal agreements between them. For example, I live in Pierce County and have a card for this system here but I also have a free card from the King County library system which allows me to check out material at any of their libraries as well.

That way if I find something of interest not available here, I can search it, reserve it and check it out from the neighboring system. Hope this helps someone save some money and still have an almost unlimited entertainment budget for movies, music, television shows and reading.

Hope this note finds you having a marvelous Monday!

Some Video on Using Digital Stamps

While these videos refer to the My Grafico website and tools, they also apply to any digital stamp you might purchase from an independent designer of digistamps or digital stamps with a shop at Etsy or eCrater.











I hope you enjoy these videos and that they help get your creative juices flowing.

Hugs and blessings,

Teach Yourself to QUILT -- Lessons from the Worldwide Web

Quilting used to be learned at the knee of mom or grandma. Today, there are lots of fabric and quilt shops which offer lessons. There are books and more books -- and there is the internet. Whatever way you learn best, there is a way to learn how to quilt.

If seeing and listening is the way you learn, here are some links to free video on various quilting subjects:

• Expert Village has 10 videos on How to Quilt
  
• Learn Basic Quilting Techniques
• The list from Google video search
  

A ton of lessons in print are available. These are the some of the best organized I've found:

• from SoYouWanna.com -- Learn the Basics of Quilting.
  
• Quilt University offers many "how to" lessons. These are not free but the prices are reasonable.
• eHow has a free series of lessons on "How to Quilt".
• Over at Squidoo, there are several lenses related to learning to quilt. "Quilting" is just one.
  

If you want to learn in a group environment, there are all sorts of quilting groups to join. Check out:

Have a terrific Tuesday! We have a few days of warmth and sun and today the air will get a rinsing that will help calm down the pollen. I have a back strain so I'm off to work through some exercises and see if I can make it into my day job :) More tomorrow ...
