Hi! My name is Kellie Furney Wachter and I am an awarding winning quilter and miniature artist I have just been awarded artisan status within the International Guild of Miniature Artists for my work in miniature quilting, and I can add a second Blue Ribbon to my collection from the South Carolina State Fair. The first for my Baltimore Album and the second for my minature crazy quilt. YEA!!!!!!
What was supposed to be a fun, quick little blog entry about the wonderful weekend I just had with some friends at the Helen, Georgia Oktoberfest has now turned into a study of grief and frustration. Somebody somewhere arbitrarily decided to go and make my life better by tweaking the process of uploading photos to my blog. When I first decided to face my computer fears and learn to blog I got a handle on how to do it and things were great. Then we switched from Kodak to Picasa for managing our photos and I had to learn a new process, then we switched from a PC to a mac and I had to learn a new process, each time I struggled through learning the new way and thought that once and for all it was behind me and I could happily blog away without any more computer angst, and now suddenly and for no apparent reason, I cannot upload the pictures the way I used to. Did the good people at Google switch something on me without notice? Did Steve rearrange the properties of i-photo unbeknownst to me? Who knows. All I know is a few weeks ago I did it without a hitch and now this morning...well suffice it to say I am going to have to re-learn again! If you do not see a new post in a while you can bet its just me postponing the inevitable frustration of starting over at square one. Now I am too annoyed at the hour I spent trying to upload my photo to wax eloquent about friends and fun in Georgia mountains, maybe later, but don't hold your breath.
