New month, new block
Today is the second Saturday of the month, and so I present the SSS 2008 block for August, Martha Washington Star:
It's not as striking as last month's, but then I guess not every block can be a "superstar" (groan, I know, but I couldn't resist).
We bought a new digital camera today (Sony Cyber-shot), and I finally got the battery charged so I could play with it a little bit. I love having new toys. :) It's got way more memory, it's faster, and it's much smaller and lighter than my old one. Also, it uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery, so no more going to Sam's Club for a mega package of AA batteries (which my old camera used to eat like candy). It's not a top-of-the-line camera (which I don't need), but I think it will meet our needs for several more years.
With my new camera I took a new photo of my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt, since I've been working on it a couple of nights recently. I was surprised to realize I hadn't taken a progress photo since last December. I've actually made quite a bit of progress since then! It is the full length now, and I've begun working my way across in columns. There will be 8 full flowers across the top and bottom when it's finished.
I'm afraid that I either didn't fully get over the strep throat from last week, or that I'm coming down with a sinus infection or something [not good]. I think I'm going to schedule an appointment with my regular doctor as soon as possible.
