It seems like finding isn't the problem - is there a saint for acquisition? Or maybe winning?

I still need to make my high performance computing shrine, I have been accumulating things for it (ibm fortran punchcards, old rsa keys). I need to find a saint for computers! Or archives (the data storage archives are one of the biggest problems), there has got to be a saint for archives.

Hmm, I found this:

I always liked Saint Vidicon of Cathode! http://christopher.stasheff.com/wiki/Saint%2BVidicon  His symbol is a small yellow screwdriver in a pocket protector.

Ha ha!  Patron Saint of Computers!  Crack me up!  That rocks!

Yep, I've heard of Isidore....and I think the archives guy is St. Lawrence. 

I forgot about this wall hanging sort of thing, now in my shop:

hahahaha! thanks you guys!
we looked at FIVE houses yesterday, but the husband found construction issues with most of them. damn his perceptive construction worker eyes!!!!
some of them were downright scary. I am ready to start burying whatever I need to bury to make a house happen

So I thought I would entertain everyone by noting that my activities of the evening included making a pair of shoulder pads. Raglan shoulder pads, no less.

pw, your evening was definitely more interesting than mine

pics of said shoulder pads? so that we may see what raglan shoulder pads look like?

pw, your evening was more interesting than mine as well.  I spent most of it looking for stuff I have seen but can't seem to remember where I put it!  Moving is hard work!

I, too, would be interested in seeing said raglan shoulder pads.

They are already sewn into my jacket, so I can't get a picture.....instead of being a curved triangle, they are more round and have a section that goes over the top of the arm. The raglan styles are for raglan-sleeved tops where you don't have an armscye seam.

Hurrah!  Today is Lana's last day of school.  Finished earrings/cufflinks for 15 teachers last night,  scrambling to restock for my craft fair this Sat, Six Flags on Sun, piano recital Mon, and off to TN on Tues.  Wee!  I can't wait to get to TN so that I can catch my breath!
