Yay! I finally ordered an 8G memory card for my digital camera, so I won’t be limited to 17 (yes, 17) pictures using the camera’s original 32M card. Thankfully, memory cards are surprisingly non-expensive through Amazon these days. The trick is finding out which ones will supposedly work with your camera, of course. My camera says it’ll take all SD, SDHC, and MultiMedia cards. The web site says to check with the card manufacturer to make sure. The card listings on Amazon all say to check with the camera manufacturer to make sure. Finally I found a frobbie on Sandisk’s site (since it seemed that Sandisk had a good rep) that would let me input my device’s info and then tell me which cards would work in it. $30 including shipping for an 8G card!

I doubt I’ll be able to finish my current book in time for a review today, but we have a new design up at the cafepress shop called it’s a quest thing:

   

A long time ago I got (slightly) into sewing—around the time I dropped out of college, I guess. Who could blame me? All those fun colors and patterns of cloth; the ability to make things that fit YOU rather than some anorexic model (and in any material you want); the ability to make fun things like cloaks. Unfortunately, I was never very good at it and ended up more or less abandoning it.

Now that we’ve fallen in with some SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) folk and my husband is picking up fighting (he qualified as a fighter just a couple of weeks ago), we’re giving the sewing thing a shot again. We got a good sewing machine at the beginning of the year. To be honest, the first two things we made really weren’t that good, but we were working with a sub-optimal downloaded pattern and a (very!) short deadline, not to mention we’re beginners. So we haven’t given up.
