Interesting how your day can turn out completely differently than you expect.<\/p>\n

With my plans made to tidy my office and then get on with a new Mountmellick project, I decided I’d do a quick bit of work on my Portuguese embroidery book. It was still early and the family was all still in bed (its school holidays at the moment) so I didn’t want to be clunking around noisily yet.<\/p>\n

Well. My Quark layout file (ie the whole book file) was corrupted. Irretrievably. I tried everything I could think of or read of to try. And no luck.<\/p>\n

Did I have a recent back up? No. (Idiot!) So I have begun recreating the file. Fortunately most of the work I have done to date are stitch illustrations and embroidery charts, so they are independent of the corrupted file. I was able to extract some of the text by opening the file in a text editor. But the text was all jumbled up and strange. But I should be able to reuse some of it.<\/p>\n

The moral of the story: always back up your files, even if they don’t feel like they have much in them yet.<\/p>\n

The afternoon improved markedly when Colette from Tessuti<\/a> got back to me to say that they currently have some ponti in stock. I headed to Chatswood and found myself some amazing red ponti at a great price. Thanks Tessuti, you’ve made me very happy!<\/p>\n

For all my customers and readers who are currently battling or awaiting flood waters in Queensland, Western Australia and northern New South Wales, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I cannot comprehend the sheer volume of water, and the horror of it all. Please stay safe, and never enter flood waters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
