Play Time

It has been pretty hot here in my part of the country. Life is about play these days. For me that means quilting and computer. Quilting is going great, though I wanted to make more progress yesterday than I did. My computer problems took care of that. I will come back to the computer problem. The baskets are showing signs of becoming an actual quilt.
The texture appearing on the back is always a real indicator of just how much quilting is done.
It has been an easy quilt in this stage. Enjoyable....finally.My computer.....I got a message on my Facebook page yesterday from a friend to view a "Coooool Video". I clicked on the link and all h&ll broke loose! It was a (triple)Trojan virus. My McAffee blocked a good chunk of it, but not all of it, as I am getting pop ups and all kinds of bogus scans running. I will need to have a friend look at it. Then that thing started sending it to my friends list on Facebook. I warned people not to open it, but I did delete my Facebook page. That took the message to view the video down, so hopefully no one got hit like I did. Facebook is not something I was very impressed with. It was a time sucker for me and even though I did not go there often in the beginning, I found myself checking it several times a day. I had been thinking of dropping it, as my blogs are more than enough to fill my computer time (which is limited by my own guidelines), but the virus was the kicker to end my time there. I have heard that Twitter and Facebook get these virus hits often. I think Blogger is enough for me. :0)

I mentioned that our days are about play....Zach and Charlotte have been keeping busy with their "arts" too. Charlotte is crocheting her little heart out in between hanging with her little friends. Zach, has been building with his Legos and wants to put this picture of his latest engineering masterpiece on Creations.com (??) Kyle has been working hard during the day and in the afternoon hangs with some friends playing basketball or watching his movies. Sweetheart spent a day at his Mom's and otherwise, he has kept busy around here.

My design wall holds my newest "toy". 72 Nine Patch blocks from my swap with Linda. The design wall does not hold them all! I am playing with lay out and color. I am thinking a brown for setting blocks??? Still considering.Not a lot of time for playing with quilt blocks today. I will not be doing Feminine Friday as we are going to a State Park hiking and for a picnic with the kids, so I will be wearing jeans. I will take the camera. Tomorrow my grandchildren come for an over night at Grandmas! I can hardly wait. I have not seen them in 10 (TEN) days!!!! Can you believe it??!! They only live a couple of miles away, and this terrible Grandma let that time pass. I will need to make that up!!

Have a wonderful weekend and be blessed!!!!
