Life And Its Whammies

I won't lie to you- it's been a tough few weeks. First came the disaster with all those silk panels (so okay, three of the panels have survived... the rest went into the trash, literally); then a dyeing experiment gone utterly awry, which I haven't even discussed here, yet; add in a hefty deposit in a Louisiana casino, a hacked Twitter account that was used for phishing (and don't I feel like I need a thousand showers after reading some of the things that were posted under my business name), and finally, serious computer issues.

Due to some well-meaning concerns that led to rather extensive changes, my key programs no longer function the way I need them to. Most disastrously, my camera, my right arm and perfect set of eyes, refuses all communication with my computer. This means that I can't even get it connected to my machine, let alone retrieve any of the dozens of photos I've been taking for days.

Tonight I will start the laborious process of backing up my hard drive. Once that's complete, I will reformat my C: drive. It could be some time before I'm back up, but I will be back! I still exist and I have been working like a busy bee while snapping tons of photos of everything.

Hope you'll hang in there with me for a few days... a new post will be up soon, if it kills me! In the meantime, as always, happy creating!

I'm so sorry you've had such a bad week. Good luck on resetting your computer and get everything up and working again!

Good grief! It can't get any worse, can it? I guess that means you weren't a big winner at the casino. WHAM! That was the old door shutting and the new one is on such lovely oiled hinges you'll hardly hear it opening. HUGS!!!

Good luck! You'll read this after a new start, I guess; hope the trouble ends. And the joy of your beautiful, beautiful work can start again.
