Yeah, well, now that I have a nice phone app to do blog posts, I tried dropping my phone into the fish pond. It doesn't help. So, it is now taken apart and sitting in a bowl of rice after I dried it out as much as I could, first with a linen tea towel (the best, as we fabric lovers know) and then with a hair dryer on no-heat. Sigh.
I'm hoping for the best, and after some research and questioning my brother (the IT guy) about it, next time I do this (never I hope!) I will try this method, using alcohol to first displace the water in the phone, and then drying it out in rice. Can't hurt, and apparently has been the go-to method for underwater cameras for years. Who knew?
A small bit of sewing content: I thought I finished the patternwork on the Marfy 3507 dress last night, but of course this morning I realized I had forgotten a couple things I wanted to check. It's always a good idea to sleep on it when it's a big project. My brain sometimes seems to work better when I'm asleep than awake. Sad, isn't it? Anyway, I'm almost ready to do a muslin. I think I have a suitable not-too-stretchy knit to use that will somewhat mimic the neoprene, which I don't have yet, so basically I'm guessing. Oh well, onward and upward.
I will say I hope you have a blessed holiday weekend, whatever holiday you're celebrating. They're all very inter-related, which I find very nice. I will be singing tonight at Good Friday services, and again Sunday for Easter, then having my family over for Easter Dinner. Should be fun, especially if it stays warm.
My daffodils have recovered pretty well after being snowed on immediately after they bloomed, and the first tulip is out today!

Wish I'd known about that technique when I dropped my phone in the sink last year, I'd put it on the side of the sink to avoid dropping it in the toilet. Anyway the blow dryer and rice didn't do enough.
I hope you have better luck.
