Fact 1: I had thousands of photos of my phone - some were family photos, some were blog photos and some were ones that had come in through WhatsApp etc and stayed. And my phone was using battery at an alarming rate
Fact 2: I used to have to save my phone photos to my PC to be able to add them to my blog, but some time ago (my guess is September 2016*) a new option appeared so I could add photos from my phone which saved a lot of time.
Fact 3: Someone suggested that I delete some of my photos from my phone to see if that helped with the battery usage.
Have you guessed what happened?
Fact 4: I saved the family photos from the phone to the network, but I deleted the others that I'd used on the blog starting at about 2013, up to about April 2018: I planned to carry on later.
And the reason I can quote the dates? Almost every photo on the blog between September 2016 and April 2018 has been replaced by this
I have done the hair pulling and the screaming at the computer and the crying - and finally the thinking ... Google give me 60 days to change my mind about deleting photos - phew! So I think I have reinstated most of them!
I have managed a bit of sewing too!
This planning
and this cutting
and this making-binding-by-bodging happened (sorry about the striped ironing board cover, makes it difficult to see what I'm doing but the binding is purple and then red)
and making this
And this
And then doing this ...
More to follow when it's been pressed under a weight to get the vinyl creases out!
I've started working on this with the Kaffe Fassett 3" squares I got from Jackie - I'm really loving the fabric! : It's planned and ready to stitch
And I've done the prep for the next Chertsey Museum class - we are doing scrappy pennies
These were fun to do. They all started the same but I did different embroideries
And finally I've received another Pudsey themed hexie flower from the Facebook swap group I've joined. Roll on next month
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
