Tumblr Freezing

Why can’t I access ANYTHING in my dashboard without Tumblr freezing up my computer.  And don’t tell me it’s my browser, or computer, or I need virus protection.  BitDefender is up to date, and no other website freezes my computer.  I would love to check my messages or load my queue, but if I click on either then suddenly everything freezes and I have to do the 3 fingered salute to end the task.  I like Tumblr, but not if I can’t use it!

Upcyled clothing

What is upcycled clothing?  Upcycled clothing is taking something gently used, but no longer desired, and creating a one-of-a-kind wearable work of art.  Check it out at Discord Threads - discordthreads.artfire.com.  But I don’t just use part of the sweaters.  The fluff from the serger trimming is swept into a clean plastic lidded container for stuffing pillows.  The scraps are fashioned into arm warmers, wrist warmers, fingerless gloves, scarves and more.  And the smaller scraps went to a friend to use for doll clothes.  Some of the teeny scraps hit the trash, but almost the entire garment makes its way into several new upcycled designs.
