Toys Story


 This past weekend, my grandson came to visit (and of course I got no quilting done). He loves to play with his toys.

 And I like to play with my new toys, too. I came into the new world of smart phones with this new Droid. Even the salesperson remarked that I was really making a jump from the basic phone that I have had for years. My old ones didn't even take photos or do texting. I surprised myself by learning how to send and save photos. The picture of my grandson was taken by my Droid and sent to my email so that I could upload and save it to my computer and then upload it to my blog.....The camera does take great pictures but my grandson moved just as I snapped this one. I like being able to check my email and facebook with a quick little swipe. I am able to see my blog but haven't learned how to post or comment on blogs yet so I came back to my trusty computer to do this post.
But I love my quilting tools, too. Here is one that I have had for ages and find so useful for  pressing little things as I sew. I don't have to jump up and heft the heavy iron ( or have it sitting hot) to press a little seam. This week I did get a few things accomplished that I am not really at liberty to post about yet.



Do you have a special little tool that you find useful?

Glad you had fun with your grandson and your new toy. LOL I have never sent a text in my life. Doubt if our phone will even do it. It also does not take pictures. Hmm, maybe we need to update. Nah, probably not. I love my computer, but don't really care for cell phones. I have a little mini iron like that. I have only used it a couple of times. Maybe I should get it out to use for pressing seams. Have a great day.

Now...do you even have to ASK what my favorite quilting toy/tool is?? I don't count my sewing machine, as that's a "given" but my GO! cutter is my favorite. Congrats on your new phone. I am stuck on my old-fashioned one, as you know!!! LOL
