I "love" computers...

Somehow I managed to crash my laptop on Friday.  Then the external drive, where we keep all our files, litterally went up in smoke (luckily no flames)!  What a weekend.  We now have a new computer (Mr. Spunky Diva is very, very happy), and I have been given strict instructions to not apply my electronic curse to this computer. 

This of course happens in the midst of my mad dash to make sure I have plenty of items for the "Pup in the Park" craft show this coming Saturday, in Elgin.  As the old saying goes: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade".  So, I spent my time this weekend cutting fabric for burp cloths, sewing squares onto towels, and finishing up some UFOs (UnFinished Objects). 


Onto the wonderfully, awesome news:  I won the Ellie Inspired giveaway for the Dancer pattern and fabric I posted about last week.  To say I am excited is an understatement.  Thank you again Laura for this pattern and the fabric.  I cannot wait to make Ms. Hope her first Dancer!

Pretty in Pink and Some Sparkles too!

A hat for my oldest in ballet pink (red heart yarn she picked) with some silver beads.  No pattern, and ended up running elastic thread through a couple rows to make it more secure on her head for now, until she grows into it some more. Matches a shoulder shrug knitted for her during her year of ballet lessons.

Add a ‘click-able’ signature to comments you make.

While blog hopping recently, I came across this fantastic tip listed on Be Our Best .  Jill has compiled her Top 10 Blogging Tips in one place to help others out there in blogland.  Most of them I had heard of before.  But she had one on her list that I have only seen a couple times in practice, and have not heard a how-to do it before. Number 6: Add a clickable signature to your comments. If you add the following text to the bottom of the comments you leave for other bloggers, whatever text you insert for “Your Text Here” will be clickable.  You have to switch out “{“ and “}” with “<” and “>” then it will work.  Remember to also change the “Your Blog Address” part, LOL! {a href=http://www.YourBlogAddress.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a} Bonus Tip ~ I use Notepad to store all the html codes I use on a regular basis {the direct link code for my signature image, color codes, etc.}.  I added the above code to my Notepad page, edited it with my information, and saved it.  Now all I
