Camera Cable Connection

Still testing downloads from the iPhone to the MacBook as I learn how to navigate the Photoshop CS6 program that DH installed on Friday. Thus far cannot download from Lumix camera as the cable-plug does not fit (?), but the cable for the iPhone does. We have literally bins full of cords and cables but not one that fits my camera. Bummer. Before I can shoot any events must get an easier way to download SIM card contents to the laptop. Because DH made this tedious effort - I owe him big time and to show appreciation made a delicious entree salad for dinner Friday evening.

Setup table up with a blue scheme Thursday using large cobalt glass plates for the salad featuring a) sesame noodles, b) the freshly made Carrot-Ginger salad with jicama and radishes, c) a tangy chopped raw salad featuring both napa and red cabbages and lastly some cold asparagus spears; all served over a bed of Romaine lettuce and topped with basic salad vinaigrette. My kind of dinner salad.
Cold noodle-salad with scrappy table runner.

He loved it but I think he enjoyed the mango sorbet with chile more! Who puts chile in sorbet??  Was kind of proud of myself but needed to get him in the mood for Saturday night's dinner with my friends.

Sunday was our lazy day - or at least he was lazy. I was cutting up two thrift shop shirts with black/tan leaf motifs to make a seat cushion for the rattan chair in his bath. When people ask me "what kind of quilting do you do," my first thought is "git 'er done!" quilting. Would like to think I am an textile-artist but let's face it: most of what I'm doing now is fix-up sewing.

At this point I need a stool or drafting chair for the new sewing table as I must stand on my 'booted' foot with the broken metatarsal to use my right foot on the floor pedal. Got to get beyond this broke-foot condition soo-o-on.

Will I ever get back to "my kind" of sewing?  Hang tight, the year's not over yet.
