I know, I know, everything happening here at Chez Magpie is just about as inspiring as watching grass grow and I get it, truly I do. However, how do I show you that I spent umpteen hours trying to wrestle my printer into printing correctly (I lost) and THEN I switched my attention to trying to figure out why Resident Chef's camera was refusing to talk to the new computer. They didn't want to play nicely at all and kicked sand at each other just like kids in a playground. They pouted and they hurled insults (oh wait - the insults were being hurled by yours truly). Finally, after much bumbling and most unladylike utterances of words, I managed to get them to talk to each other. I think.
I can show you a tiny bit of progress on the latest cross stitch - the background on this one is done now and I'm currently adding the top stitching and little details.
Oh, and I can also show you a photo of my Resident Chef...

Instead of your quote today....
Know the feeling. With Mike done, no one is holding me accountable, and so not much gets done.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just need to take time to just be and not worry about what you are accomplishing or not accomplishing. Just being is enough.
DeleteYes, just be. We tend to put a lot of emphasis on production, accomplishing, forgetting that there's a time to lie fallow.
ReplyDeleteI'm not normally one to sit and do nothing and even now I'm not doing that. There is research on Ancestry happening and there's cross stitch and knitting in the evenings.
DeleteI was really addressing your earlier commenter.
DeleteCrafty looking fellow, your Resident chef. Creative couple, you two make
ReplyDeleteLovely links, but I would not want a realistic lion like that on my wall. Eerie. :)
Hmmm - crafty looking because he does crafts or because he looks sly? (lol)
DeleteAnd no, I wouldn't want that lion on my wall either, but it sure does look impressive!
Nice to see a great pic of Resident Chef! Have a lovely weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteHe's not often willing to pose for the camera so I was lucky on this one!
DeleteGlad everything is talking to each other again Mary Anne! Have a lovely weekend! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteAt least the camera and the computer seem to be playing nicely, but still can't get the printer to cooperate.
DeleteI will say you are most entertaining as you tell of your woes, and supposed uninspiring moments. The pic of Resident Chef is nice. Not only does he cook, but he's a handsome fella too. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you think my boring post about nothing is entertaining! Personally I would be beyond bored with me if I were you.
DeleteAnd yes, I think Resident Chef is pretty handsome too (but I'm SUPPOSED to say that!!)
Sherry of createology. You certainly have perseverance for getting your electronics to play well together. Such a great photo of your Resident Chef. My goodness…those felted creations are amazing.
ReplyDeletePerseverance? No, it's more like sheer stubbornness! Haven't won the battle with the printer yet though.
DeleteLooks like my to-do list for the past week. Just not in the mood to do much.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a time of sloth is good for our souls - at least that's my story!
