Problems with Gimp

I've been so bummed with the problems I've had with Gimp.  Actually, Gimp opens and tries to run.  Sometimes when I pull all the old versions off and load a new one it works for several projects and then it stops working.  It always says that there's a problem and windows is seeking a resolution.  I hate I can't open all  those saved project files. There are so many things I didn't save as a jpeg or png to save space, and now I am regretting it. I could always have deleted them.  You live an learn...

So with the advent of Windows 10, will I ever be able to use it again.  I have found that the problems also are with the outside computers systems that Gimp works off of. Those companies had begun to load other programs onto people's computers, against the truth of their original agreements...thus the blocked open/runs I have tried to install. 

So the problem has been with the programs not the user, and I feel admonished a bit, because I hear that I am the problem a lot.  I genuinely miss my pattern making abilities.  Don't like the format for Photo-shop and never really have.  Many complain about having multiple tiles open and want all the gimping options on one pane.  I find it a little overwhelming to have to look through all the options rather than getting to pull up the pane with the particular function I want to do and then let it fall into the background when not using it. 

Well, there is not much I can do about it all now, so doing art for Prinked Ink is seldom possible now.  I have enjoyed the break from the computer, for my health's sake and for the joy of developing a garden. And for the joy of not having someone hacking my computer all the time.  But I miss the art of it.  But I just wanted to explain why my blog is not staying up to date.  Yet I like that my comments are here to review, for my own sake, if for no other reason.  The last thing I did with my patterns was to put some of them onto coffee mug size formats, so I can have a few mugs made.

So here are a couple:

Awaiting an opportunity - perhaps 10 will solve the problems on my computer's end.  Hopefully, Gimp will solve things on theirs.  And I can be a happy camper once again.
