I got myself a Toshiba 17” Laptop the other week and I love it! I can even have EQ7 on it too which is a big plus.

Why is it that when we take photos of our laptops, that we have to have our blog page open on it? LOL.

I mostly got it to take to Western Australia when we go over for my son’s wedding. That is now 2 and a half weeks before we fly off….getting closer and closer.Anyway…I got a carry bag for it but I felt I had to give it a little coat to give it extra protection. I had these two stitched blocks in my UFO box of things and thought…now all I need are some strips and padding and then I can make this…This is one side

and this is the other side

I had fun with it as I did some machine quilting on it and it’s a nice cosy sleeve for my laptop to sleep in now.

I also had fun today as I learnt how to make a Brush in my Adobe Photoshop…see it on the pictures?

I have often seen them on people pictures and wondered how they did them…well I did a google and up comes these very helpful people that show you how to do it.

A few of you have been asking me if I have got my outfit for my son’s wedding…

and Yes I have :)

I was mostly concerned about getting shoes as I have a lot of trouble getting shoes to fit my feet, but I have got some and they are lovely ..well I like them. I love the dress and jacket I got also and so I am ready for the big day. Well…I still got to make my hair a nice colour instead of this airstrip colour that I have and also I am treating myself to a manicure and get my nails done French style :) Oohhh la la :)

Hugs to all……..Vicki  Purple Flowers

  3. don't forget the pedicure.....or at least the podiatry.
    Now I can no longer cut toenails it is an essential for me and am long overdue. Wish I could get my cute young podiatrist guy to paint the toe nails also.....LOL.
    Am impressed with the cover.
    I have resisted the lap top thus far.....figure I will want the latest and best if I have to go to a nursing home one day........VBG!

  5. What fun times coming up for you, Vicky! We will be looking for a picture of the mother of the groom at the wedding in her lovely new outfit when she returns from the wedding. I actually got my first pedicure before my granddaughter's recent wedding - only took me 82 years to get one. Think I will get another one soon! Love your laptop cover, too. :-) Carol
