I also have a book on making armour I would like to be playing with. I know card won't work quite like metal, but I think I should be able to adapt the techniques. I also have several clothing patterns awaiting my attention, but it won't be today.
Fortunately I recently bought a new laptop to improve things in my art quilts by numbers class. The old machine was free and rather old. Not a problem in itself but the screen was getting very hard to see. That meant I could only have two people at a time working on the machine, hopeless for big classes. The new macjine has a much larger, clearer screen. It's also relieving the boredom for me today, I may not be able to quilt but I can watch quilting DVD's. Sad isn't it. Ill in need ot time off and yes I chose to watch quilting. Told you, I'm weird.

Just a bus mans break! Give the physical a rest while the mental catches up. I hope you feel better soon and have a good long weekend!
I'm not surprised last weekend wore you out...
Re dealing with classes via a screen, a few years ago I got an extra 19in. LCD screen so I can just hook that laptop up to that. Very useful. Though I probably take it out less than I expected to.
Not wierd, a master quilter, always learning! And not alone, I do the same! LOL
I'm working over the weekend so I need to be fit. I am feeling a bit better, I'm replying from my desk not bed.
I did think about packing a separate screen, but I decided a 17" laptop would do the job and take up less space. The extra screen wouldn't have helped with watching dvd's either :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I just wish I felt up to practising.
