Back-up -

Has several different meanings -

And I dealt with three of them this past week - ;))

===

Back-up #1 -

There's the usual - Back-up my computer - just because - and because I might need/want to transfer some data to a new laptop that I got a couple of months ago. It has the new "Windows" and I haven't even plugged it in yet. I'm not looking forward to all of the NEW/DIFFERENT stuff on it and I have to be in the mood to deal with it - but that "mood" hasn't shown itself lately - (sigh) - ;))

Maybe I could/should look at it as a NEW adventure! Maybe after I take care of Back-up #3 (below) - I can only take so much new "adventure" these days - ;))

===

Back-up #2 -

I took a break from my Deep Red Crumb Squares to play with some 9-patches for my "next" project - and showed you guys this basket last time -

Well - that basket grew to this - with some of them sewn into "tubes" on the right -

Then I made a couple of "test blocks" -

A 9-patch instead of "crumb" version using some of THAT floral fabric for sashing -

And an "alternate" block using some "three-sies" for the sashing -

Put the one up on the design wall -

And then the other -

And then put them next to each other -

And I don't like it - UGH!! -

It looked SOOOOOOOOOOO much better in my head - LOL - ;))

So I'm going to Back-up and un-sew them and move on to Plan B -

Which I will share when I get there -

It will probably have the same layout but plain sashes and plain squares -
Instead of the 9-patches and "three-sies" - they're just too busy! - ;))

Back-up #3 -

When I was working - I didn't like to be the ONLY one who knew how to do something - I liked having a Back-up in case I got sick or went on vacation or was just too busy. Someone else could/would be able to help me out.

When my husband was alive - he was my Back-up around the house and my Back-up on computer stuff. He was my "tech support" and my go-to guy - and I miss him - Every. Single. Day. It sure would have been nice to have him as a sounding board and helper this past week with this "other" project that I have been working on - but I had help from some family and friends - so I have Back-up of a different kind - ;))

The "other" project is my trying to get PayPal set up -

For my LEFT-EZE Rule™ -

It has turned out to be a little more complicated than I had originally thought -
But I tend to over-think things - so it might just be me - ;))

I sorted through various options and got some of it figured out -

Sales Tax rates - For California - by zip code -
Shipping options - US - Canada - International/other -
Currency - US dollars only - for now -

But - before I can show the "button" on my site -

I still need to mess with "invoicing" -

Printing shipping labels - through PayPal -

And who knows what else - LOL - ;))

So stay tuned -

If you don't hear from me for a couple of days -

It's because I'm a little BUSY - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
