Ch-ch-ch-Changes!


Those of you that use other browsers like Firefox will now notice that my blog is suddenly behaving.
And those of you who use IE will not notice any change in the blog. How great is that? I was 'fixed' by famous fabulous quilt artist and Gal Geek Lisa Call. My sidebar is now easily readable and you may note that I have moved up the 'educational links' to the top to make it easier for my students to find quickly. I mention the blog entries when I lecture and teach, so that they don't have to remember every dye I use or how to make the Escape Hatch Finish.
Thank you so much Lisa for coming to my rescue, and I hope you all find this template scheme less annoying than the previous one.
Yesterday it was 5 below zero at noon. I am leaving the frigid weather behind on Wednesday for a short week at Chez Tommy in Sunny Florida which promises to be a real vacation. My usual vacation means staying home, which leads immediately to working anyway. When one is self employed it is almost impossible to keep thoughts of impending responsibilities at bay. So I will be 'forced' to break this habit while at Tommy's. I have already sent my rollerblades ahead, and now the arduous task of selecting a bathing suit that will not cause public humiliation.
From there I will be flying to the New Jersey Quilt Fest, March 2-5 where I will be teaching and having a one person exhibit of 16 of my larger works, some new and some classic. I hope to meet lots of you East Coasters while I am there.

  3. Mel's blog was driving me nuts so I fixed it. Although if you read my blog you'll find the true motivation - avoidance of what I should be doing!

    The geek in my just can't handle broken html. Some people will reach out and brush lint of other's shirts or fix their collars. That stuff doesn't bother me. I have a compulsion to add missing html end tags.

    Gabrielle is probably next for a fix because that broken "Women who blog" link at the bottom of her sidebar has been there way way too long.

  4. Thank you Melanie and Lisa for a sidebar for us confirmed Firefox users. I always wondered why Melanie's blog was devoid of links, buttons etc that the rest of blogland uses. And I was really confused when you posted about the new buttons you'd made. I wondered where they were used. Now I know.

    While the life-expectancy gap between men and women has decreased, it's no secret that men still need to pay more attention to their bodies. Several things work against men. They tend to smoke and drink more than women. They don't seek medical help as often as women. Some men define themselves by their work, which can add to stress.
    There are also health conditions that only affect men, such as prostate cancer and low testosterone. Many of the major health risks that men face – like colon cancer or heart disease - can be prevented and treated with early diagnosis. Screening tests can find diseases early, when they are easier to treat. It's important to have regular checkups and screenings.

    To be a noble human being is to procure a make of openness to the far-out, an ability to trusteeship undeterminable things beyond your own control, that can front you to be shattered in very exceptional circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably important relating to the get of the principled life: that it is based on a conviction in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a prize, something fairly feeble, but whose extremely particular attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
