SJGSH

On Saturday I attended a meeting of the South Jersey Guild of Spinners and Handweavers. What a joy to see old friends and meet new ones! I was very inspired by the show and tell. Here is one of my favorites—Helena showed off her hand beaded necklace and this jacket she had woven and sewn. Isn’t it amazing?

I went out to lunch afterwards with my friend, April. Neither time nor distance can separate true friends, and our friendship is a prime example. We always have fun when we are together!

I started weaving a new band. This one is from the book Latviešu Jostas, and is a type of flower band. It’s easy to weave and very relaxing. Details are on my Ravelry project page.

We started having problems with our computer about a month ago when we could no longer connect to the internet. Since it has been six years since we purchased it, we decided it was time for a new one, and we took advantage of a Memorial Day sale at HP to order it.

Because we subscribe to Carbonite, transferring all our files to the new computer was easy. We logged on and clicked the transfer button. After 24 hours we calculated that it would take a month for our files to all transfer, so we plugged into daughter Kristen’s router and twelve hours later it was done. So far, we are liking this new laptop.

Weather here in south Jersey has improved and we see the sun daily. We’re getting temperatures in the ‘70s, which is lovely. We are so glad the constant rain has stopped.
