We went to the fair this weekend for a few hours — mostly just to say we’d “been there, done that” I of course had to check out the cross-stitch exhibits and was very pleased. There was some beautiful work displayed. My favorite was the Taj Mahal Watergarden by Chatelaine Designs — I can’t wait for the day when I can purchase this for myself. And yes, we’ve got pictures!

On a different note – I’ve spent the last few days discovering many neat things you can do online as I have been reading blog after blog after blog. Here are some of the applications I like the most so far:

• Taneya Google — look! it’s my very own Google search engine
  
• BlinkList – my overall principle when it comes to data management is to have it ONLINE! That way, I can have access to it no matter where I am and I can just make backups to store on my computer. Blinklist is an online bookmarks application — I just put my bookmarks here and then I can access them anywhere.
• XmailHardDrive – an application that lets you use your Gmail account like an online harddrive. It is a simple application and an interesting idea
• Ta-Da List — same principle as above — put it online. This free service lets you put to-do lists online

Yes, I confess, not only am I a cross-stitch junkie, but a tech freak as well.
