JUNE AND JULY 2021

 I hope everyone has been having a better June and July then I have been having. On June 1st my 2009 Apple Mini decide to go on the Blitz. It took me three exhausting weeks to get it back up. That include dealing through the internet help. After about the week and half, I decided to order MAC OS on thumb drive from E-Bay to get it reprogramed back up. The reason is that Apple has decided to make it almost impossible to download old OS programs.

After, I got it finally up … I found that some important Graphic Arts Software did not work, I need this for my main occupation as the Typesetter and Computer person for Thrifty Prints, Inc. So back on E-Bay and brought myself a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5. Which is the last suite that you can get of Adobe software that is not a subscription service. 

Also, the thumb drive I had all Cloakroom and years of Thrifty Prints orders decided not to work. (I have found over the years that thumb drive is a hit and miss to work.) So now I am using the external hard drive that I got to back-up, I am using to keep the files on from now on. And I got another external hard drive that has more memory to use with Apple's back-up time machine.

Will I finally got caught up enough today. That I felt like maybe I can put a lot of more energy into Cloakroom. Which includes this blog. 

June's WIPP is Bags. The last past weeks I have been working on Andi Produce Bags designed by Amber Bliss Calderon. Theses bags are very open lace work.

July's WIPP is Kitchen/Barbecue wares. Starting with Oven Mitt from a design by Cara Louise Reitbauer. These oven mitts are done with a stitch which is called a thermal stitch and it is like doubling up while crocheting.

Will I am getting punch happy here, so I think I will rap it up now. Hope to have another post early in August.
