I Knew That!

Thanks so much for double-clicking. The response to the new format for the newsletter has been wonderful and I couldn't be happier. Well, actually, I could be happier. Just a little. Sandy B. sent a very sweet comment after she read the first newsletter and reminded me, ever so gently, that "no line" bifocals aren't called transition lenses, they're called PROGRESSIVE lenses! Transition lenses are the ones that change from light to dark. I knew that!

If you missed the first newsletter, you can read it here. While you're reading it, I would appreciate it if you would mentally correct the error mentioned above. And, as long as you're indulging me, swap out bifocals and put in trifocals! Yeah, I forgot! Well, without the lines, it's a tad hard to tell, now isn't it! :)

WheelMouse

Too Small To See?

I've got more tips on glasses, but I'll wait until I get my confidence back. I've gotten a few emails from newsletter readers that the type is too small. Here's an easy fix: get yourself a Wheel Mouse. I love mine. Click on the page you're reading. Hold down the CONTROL key and spin the wheel. Up makes whatever you're looking at LARGER. Down makes it smaller. It works on just about anything you're looking at on a computer. Cool, huh?

Follow the links above to change the settings on your favorite web browser. That will change the font size too. If you don't like to monkey with the settings on your sewing machine, you probably won't want to visit these links. Just get a wheel mouse.

5 Things Will Help You Become A Better Quilter

And none of them are chocolate. Now that you're all signed up for the newsletter, I'm going to make you head over to my blog to read what the five things are. I've got more space there and it's only a click away. If you're not a link-clicker I'm hoping that you are so pumped to learn what the five things are that you'll summon the courage to, you know, get out of your email box and get out on the Internet. Sit up straight, both feet on the floor, shoulders back, take a deep breath, and click HERE. (I'll see you on the other side.)

StapleRemoverTip

Scooter's Corner

Mom said I should add a tip too. She's off teaching in California were the weather is, like, in the 80's. I'm stuck at home making poopsicles in the yard. It's pretty cold here.

OK, here's my tip. Even though dogs aren't allowed to drive, we have to have licenses. Where I live we have to get them at the beginning of the year, which is now.

Use a staple remover to open up the rings where the licenses go. It's way better than breaking a nail trying to separate the coil enough to get the old license off and the new license on. Have your dog watch so he can do it for you next time.
