Wash and Wear Data

I discovered something amazing last night...while doing laundry. (What's that you say? Get a life? Well, some of us live pretty mundane existences and it doesn't take much to thrill the he** out of us.) I discovered that those little USB storage devices that hang on the end of a keychain are machine washable AND can be dried in a dryer. And the data stays just like it was before washing. Except cleaner.

Here I Am...Can We Talk?

In order to avoid planning classes, or thinking up new sales and marketing ideas for my fiber arts shop, I've decided to start a blog. I'm very good at procrastination and avoidance.

Hmmm. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything truly witty and wonderful to say, so I'll just start off with an invitation for you to visit my shop's website - www.atlooseends.com

I wanted to be able to create and maintain the site myself, so I found some Mac software from England called Freeway Pro to help me design and publish the website. My background is in graphic design, and this software acts just like the various print design software I've used (unlike Adobe GoLive which was completely incomprehensible to me. I gave it away...gladly!) There's a few design issues I would like to remedy (like figuring out how to wrap text around images, and how to tighten up the spacing), but I guess it's not bothering me enough yet to take care of it.
Anyway, enjoy the website. Come by the shop for a visit if you're in the lakes area of Minnesota (hmmm, where are there NOT lakes in Minnesota??!)

Time to wrap things up for today. Remember, when you're at loose ends, just play with fiber!
