another finish

This is for the granddaughter of one of my two best friends who just got married (without much notice [g]) earlier this month (I've known this kid since she was a pregnancy bump, a bit over eighteen years ago). It's machine quilted with a flannel backing, and is the quilt that gave my sewing machine heck last week. Except for the black and white (actually unbleached muslin) fabrics, there's only one exception to no two fabrics in it being alike. But somehow I managed to use two squares of one of the orange fabrics.

I suspect I should have just waited and made a baby quilt, though, since apparently that's the reason the wedding got pushed up the way it did [wry g]. But that's okay. I can do that, too.

Success, success! I did it! I did it!

Okay. You can plug your Kindle into the USB port on your desktop computer, go to Amazon.com on the desktop, buy books, and have them delivered directly to your Kindle, sans wifi. I know, because I just did it [g].

And Calibre makes very lovely .mobi (Kindle) files out of just about anything you like, including .rtf files of the Miles books, and .pdfs of books acquired in the past from various and sundry places. Well, except for the DRM'd ones I got from Carina Press a while back. Oh, well [g]. Then you click one button and it sends the files to my Kindle. I know, because I just did that, too [g].

This is so cool I could just about pop, but then I am a) always astonished when new gadgets work just how they're supposed to right out of the box, and b) very easily amused.
