I’ve been code silent for a few days! I’m knee deep in transferring sets, zip files, photos, over to a new platform. Every time I see that commercial where the boxer goes down– “He took a hit he didn’t see coming!”– it’s a metaphor for a business. Then they show a doctor, and a few other professional people going down, with stuff flying everywhere. Well, it just makes me chuckle.

If you see it, just picture me going down– with thread and fabric flying all over the place! 
“But what happens next is more important!,” the voiceover tells us– and I am proud to say, we are picking ourselves back up. “This fight is a long way from over!,” they say. Hee Hee.

Expect big things, and expect them soon… had I known how easy this would be– time-consuming, yes, but not hard, I would have done it a long time ago. I assumed it would cost a fortune– it hasn’t, and I thought I was on my own– I’m not!

One of our fellow embroiderers read my post a couple of weeks and offered to help me! We’re a clever bunch– we know how to work an embroidery machine, right? This person works in IT and she has been awesome and just took me by the hand, told me she understood what I was up against, and put her shoulder to the wheel and is showing me the way. I am so grateful.

So no pretty pictures of sewing this week– it ain’t happenin’. I have made it out to my garden between marathon sessions in front of a screen and there are signs of hope everywhere. (My new Grand-chicks.)
