Three weeks without a computer and I thought I would go mad! My old laptop started to misbehave so I took back to the store where it was purchased. They sent it away to see what was wrong with it. The estimate to fix it was almost as much as it cost new so I decided to take it to a local computer genius and see what he thought. He told me the service people where I took it never even bothered to open it up but when he did, he said my laptop overheated and all of the solder melted. He also said it was a common problem with that model laptop. So needless to say, I purchased a new computer and I have a new IT guy in my life. If you live in or around Pittsburgh, Ryan McAuley of The Computer Stop, is a lifesaver! You can reach him by calling 412-616-8134.
In the meantime, I had lots of extra time on my hands and got a good bit of quilting done. My Spring Angel quilt only needs the sleeve sewn down on the back, a label and the crystals ironed in place. I plan on entering my quilt in the Three Rivers Quilt Guild show that is coming up in March.
I've got some new things happening but I need to wait until schedules are finalized before I post about them, so check back soon!
Welcome back! We discovered too that a real computer guy beats the box store people all to pieces. Glad you are up and running again. Love the spring angel! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou are SO right, Sandie! Ryan is absolutely amazing and I hope he's around to take care of my computer problems for a long time. Thanks for checking out my angel, I think I feel a series coming on!
DeleteLove your Angel and welcome back online!
ReplyDeleteThanks BillieBee! Now I just need to try and get my angel block off of my old hard drive so I don't have to draw her again! Sometimes when I redraw things I change them a little bit accidentally and I don't like them as much.
