It was not fun! My email have disappeared from one of my accounts... I stared into the screen and could not believe my eyes. My hands and forehead were covered with a cold sweat, the whole body was trembling. Emails were there a night before, in the morning all were gone... Somewhere I read that a dying person sees the whole life like a movie in their heads, well in my head all the memories of previous computer crashes were popping up. Without further delay I drove to Staples and bought a new backup system. Ha! Now I'm safe. And fortunately for me my email is back. My host was moving all my domains into a new server and by mistake deleted one of my accounts. He had a backup so a few hours later all was up and running.
Next morning - another surprise... my TV has died! Just like that, no symptoms just a little smell of burning wires and then, it was gone. And what Evalina does? Sure, goes shopping to buy a new TV. After all I'm not so sure about that Irish luck... on other hand now I have a great backup system and a new TV! And I managed to stitch a little. I had to start something new and Friday's mail brought a chart titled
Let's sew. When I spotted that chart it was a love of first sight, I had to have it. It was on the back order for some time, I even forgot about it - now it is all mine! Here is the progress:
So long friends,
Evalina
Eep! I would have panicked too had that happened to me. Glad things turned out fine. Enjoy your new tv :) I love this design too. Your stitching is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Veronica.
Oh my! That is quite run of misfortunes! Glad to hear your email is back up. I would've freaked for sure!! Great design! I love how it's shaped as a sewing machine!!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered lets sew after seeing it on your blog. Can't wait to stitch it
ReplyDeleteYikes! Glad everything has worked out ok.
ReplyDeleteLove 'Let's Sew'. Your stitching is wonderful!
You sure got a lot done on "Let's Sew" already! Enjoy your new TV!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great start! I hate it when you feel like you have lost something on a computer, the stomach lurching and the memory working overtime to try and remember everything - I am so glad that it wasn't lost for good. Enjoy your new TV.
ReplyDeletejust love your "Lets Sew" and what a fun stitch.
ReplyDeleteBe always in stitches.
We all hit rough patches like this. Hopefully yours are over : )
ReplyDeletewhat luck they had a back-up of your e-mail.
ReplyDeleteLet's Sew looks great
Hello
ReplyDeleteSo glad that there was a back up of your account.
Your stitching looks great.
Oh my...I accidentally deleted my whole inbox once. It was terrifying but also a little freeing, LOL! Glad you were able to get it all back. I love the piece you're stitching; it's looking great!
ReplyDeleteLove the piece your working on.

OH! I so want that chart, too! Your needle has been smoking on it. Nice progress.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you get for your backup system? I would think that'd be weird to lose all your emails and then have them back, lol. And your TV went, too? You poor girl. I think my laptop took a crap on me last night. I went to plug in the S-video cable so I could watch Once Upon A Time (Hulu) on my TV via PC. The laptop went dead and now won't even power up. It's about 5 yrs old and the BF says I've gotten my use out of it. I started having probs with it while I was finishing up school. Soooo... I may be going laptop shopping!
I'm glad your Irish luck was working, email wasn't actually lost was just giving you a little motivation to get a backup system, you were financially able to replace the TV with a better one. We must be kindred spirits or something I recently purchased that very chart at my LNS and am itching to start it. It looks to be a quick stitch so I'll watch yours first.

I love your progress on Let's Sew (repeating to myself - "I do not need another chart" - over and over)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be beautiful when you are finished.
I'm glad your problems turned out to be fixable, but that first stomach wrenching moment is terrible.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous new chart and you've made excellent progress. Looking forward to seeing more of it.
