A Recent Death

So, I don't know how many of you heard, either in my Ravelry Group or on Twitter, but I had a recent death in the family.

Little Wooden Surgeons by littlewoodpeople

My old Dell Inspiron E1505 went in for surgery a few weeks ago to try and help with his narcolepsy but tragically died on the operating table. 

The doctors did everything they could to fix him, but it just wasn't meant to be.  Since then, I have been hijacking Matt's computer while he's at work but all of my documents, patterns, spreadsheets, and important things are still on the dead computer.  Hopefully, we'll be able to conduct a heart-drive transplant soon so that I can retrieve all of those things, and I do have a new computer on order.

And yes, this is a double post from my other blog.  I thought it would be ok to post it both places because I don't know that anyone actually reads both...except maybe my mom.  *Hi Momma!* (Does anyone else read both of them?  It would be kinda useful information...)

Who Here Has a LapTop? Raise Your Hand!

If you have a laptop, like I do, I'm sure you have noticed that over time it has gotten scuffed from being lugged around from place to place. One of the main things I love about laptops is that I can lug them from place to place. But I don't want it to look all beat up. Also, I am not a fan of the fact that my classmate, coworker or teammate has a laptop that looks just like mine, the only thing making them different is their unique "fingerprint" of scratches and dents.

How do we solve this problem? How do we make our laptops pretty again? How do we make them unique and personalized to our own style?

Laptop skins!

The skins available in LilyPang's Etsy shop are. so. gorgeous. They are so unique and so pretty and so colorful I think I need a different laptop for every skin, don't you? (yea, like that'll happen).

I also like these smaller decals, a little easier to fit on every laptop since they aren't a perfect rectangle with specific dimensions.Lotus Pond from lilypang
