~~~ Wizard-ing ~~~

I'm bummed. Sewing/quilting projects were put on hold due to furnace/heat pump issues. With that major expense out of the way things were returning to normal. I was looking forward to returning to the sewing room to complete the quilt-in-progress, "Slash your Stash". Unfortunately when installers were needing into crawl space for duct work we discovered foundation problems. Long story short ... we're under contract to have major foundation repairs made. Work will begin in mid-October. Now, what to do with all my "down" time?

I was reading through one of my quilting catalogues when I found a quilt design computer program. While researching that program I came across it's less expensive wizard "sister", which I felt better suited my current needs. I'm usually designing a quilt with colored pencils, graph paper, calculator, etc. The wizard seemed to be the next step, so I ordered it! Program arrived this past week, is installed and I've laid out a quilt for the "boy cave" in Ogallala. So, I'll be happily entertaining myself in the second floor computer room while basement wall/foundation issues are being addressed/repaired!

I'm still bummed with the expenses that lay ahead ... but when the work is finished we will have repaired our settling problems!
