.I'm giving you fair warning - I just might be on a technological bender for a few days. I am in the middle of setting up my new Klic N Kut Groove, a computer driven die cut machine. I've only just begun so no time to get frustrated on that yet. Stay tuned.

However, my precious Epson Stylus Photo RX700 all-in-one is giving me fits! It worked perfectly with my old laptop, but with my new laptop, it performs all tasks flawlessly, except for scanning, the feature I use the most, naturally. I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, unplugged, plugged, prayed and swore. Even consulted the manual - gasp! Yeah, I was desperate.

Steve said he'd look at it this weekend and see what fresh eyes can figure out. Fine - but what about Me?? My Needs?? Now??

Thus the make-do webcam photo above. I have some new pieces to show you - several designs all stitched from the same pattern. The above one I stitched in the car on the way to Maine. I didn't think I liked it stitched in the variegated thread at first but when I tried it with different colors, it ended up looking so disorganized. Turns out I like this one quite a bit after all.

That led to stitching this - my first with 3 different colors on one piece. I stitched the green center with double thread to make it stand out more.

My "standard flower" design; I've stitched in several different color combinations. These 3 designs above were all stitched from the same pattern of spikes of 4 holes radiating out from the center.

I've been stitching bunches of these lately with more stitching in the center so there won't be much embellishing done.

I'll get the scanner situation squared away so we don't have to endure any more of these crappy photos. I was just so eager to get back to the art of the blog!
