I think I'm pushing the whole "Finished for Friday" concept this week. I've been pulling my hair out over my computer woes the past few days. I had turned off the Captcha word with my comments. You know, that gibberish word you have to spell out to confirm your comment? As soon as I did, I started getting a lot of spam emails. All of them were on old posts. I finally had enough and decided just to add it back.
Sounded so simple. Check the box, comments have to be left by humans again. So I did.
Then the internet went down. From every computer in the house. Just when a kind friend emailed me to tell me the comments weren't working. I could read my emails on my cell phone but I'm a complete klutz at working on my blog from there.
It took three days and a wonderful husband to get the internet back in business, and a helpful friend to test the comments while I fiddled with them a few different ways. Now I have hundreds of emails to catch up on and some blog posts I want to write. It sure is good to be "home" on my laptop again.
I hope you have some more interesting finishes for this week. I promise to be back next week with something colorful and more fulfilling. Show us what you've been up to and leave a comment...if you can.

2 people stopped folding laundry to write:
Is that why I couldn't leave a comment? Tried five or six times--got the captcha but not the box to type it into. Figured it was just a mac thing, so I didn't bother you with it.
Works today.
BTW: Just got my first kindle. Do you share your kindle cover pattern? That would be awesome.
Sorry about the computer problems hopefully you can get them sorted.
