Internet Woes

Our internet has been off more then on lately so after numerous phone calls realigning the dish and it still being off more then on we decided to upgrade our system. Funny thing is once we have decided to do this the internet has been working just fine. It sure makes you wonder if they do this on purpose to get you to upgrade. What's your thoughts.

Internet Woes

You are all probably all tired of me talking about my internet problems. We had a problem with our dish and they sent a kid out to fix it, well he broke something and said we had antiquated equipment and should upgrade. It's $49 for the equipment and another $199 for install Hughes Net doesn't do upgrades for free, I can't see paying the extra for the upgrade especially since the kid broke the dish. They sent out an experience tech and he had us up and running in about 2 hours when the kid was here for 6 hours and didn't do anything but break the system. I'm back on line, I've been snowdyeing t shirts and now I am doing some longarm quilting for others.

We are having a heatwave here in central MO, our temps rose to 52 yesterday and is suppose to be in the mid 40's for the next week. I am so glad the freezing below 0 temps are gone and hoping spring is on it's way soon.

more snowdyes and internet woes

These are a few onsie's I dyed using the snowdyed technique. I really like the way the color splits, as you can see the blue didn't split which is okay since it will look great on a little boy. Most of the blues have red in them hence the purple color along with the blue.


My internet has been out again for the last few days and we found out there is something wrong with our dish and the guy will be here Monday to work on it. I hope anyone having the bad/cold weather is staying safe and warm. Bback to the studio to dye I have some snowdyed t's waiting to be rinsed.

Quilting again and internet woes

It seems like my internet has been more off then on lately, we stopped by city hall today to see how the new system is going to work for the city, but it's not up and running yet so will have to wait and see if it will reach us. We are about a mile from town but can see the water tower and that's where the new one is suppose to be located. We have Hughes Net and since I have been back from vacation it's just not working or is really slow and we can't even get into anything.

In the past week I have gotten my studio cleaned and I have been making some oven mitts and pot holders and also got a 103x105 quilt quilted. This quilt in the picture below I have had in my to be quilted pile for way to long. I think I made this top in the winter of 2004-2005 so it's about time it's gotten done. I have decided that I wanted to get some of my quilts quilted in the next year and this was the first of many to be done.

internet woes

I haven't been able to get on line for about a week now. The internet is either working really slow or I'm getting web acceleration, I really hate paying for something I can't use.

As of December 1st I have closed my online store. I can't justify paying what I have to pay to keep it open. I will still be doing a few shows next year and I may put some fabric on etsy for sale.

I had promised vacation pics but with the way the internet is working I think I had better just move on. We have been getting ready for Christmas here, the tree is up and all the decorations. I have a few more things to get sewen but then again my sewing machine is also in the shop so I have one that I am borrowing. when it rains it pours around here.
