My little project appears to be turning to a small marking sampler. I stitched row after row of borders then decided to add in the alphabet. Since I took this photo I've added an uppercase alphabet as well. Another alphabet? Some motifs? I have no idea where I'm going to go next and I'm perfectly fine with that!
My laptop is currently out of commission. I know nothing about computers; that's my husband's department. I do know that I love my laptop. I also know that it's the only laptop we own that hasn't (in four years) ever had to be taken in to be repaired. It's the only laptop of that particular brand that we own and has turned out to be a real trooper taking quite a bit of abuse and never once failing. It's funny, though, because the only reason I purchased that brand was because it was the only laptop available at the time that came in pink. A silly reason, I know, but it worked out well for me. The only issue I have ever had is having to replace the power cord. This will be the fourth time I've had to do that. It's a small expense compared to other computer repairs we've had but I do have to wait for it to arrive in the mail. For the time being I'm "borrowing" the children's laptop which doesn't have any of my photos, files, or programs. I actually think the kids are having a harder time of it than I am having to share with Mommy who can be a bit of a computer hog.
Well, there is always a bright side, and less time putzing on the computer means more time to stitch!

sweet project..i like the colors so much..
hope your laptop feels better soon..me also not good with computer...
thinking of you and sending you love and hugs
happy stitching xxx
Your little sampler is looking beautiful! I do enough frogging while using a pattern, if I free-styled I am pretty sure I would spend most of my time thinking "I should have stitched that [row;motif;letter] two stitches [to the left/up/down] etc..."
And your children should be grateful they have a wonderful mother they can lend thier lap-top too... You should hit them up for cups of tea when they come looking to have their turn - LOL!!

Love the colors in your newest creation. Can't wait to see it all finished.
Hope you get your computer back soon.
Prim Blessings
