Robert’s Snow Auction 1
Remember the Robert’s Snow fund raiser for cancer research? The first auction begins tomorrow, just in time for holiday shopping. Below are links to the Blogging for a Cure interviews with this week’s auction artists. I’ll post links for the next auctions as time nears.
Links to all the artist interviews are here. Kudos to Jules […]October Reading
As part of the Needle and Thread: Stitching for Literacy 2007 Bookmark Challenge, I am encouraging stitchers to model the behavior we’re trying to promote: reading for fun. I am reading for fun every day. Okay, I read for fun every day of the year, but that’s beside the point.
The books that I’ve […]Predictable Books
I’m listening to a YA audio book that I’ve been wanting to read for a couple of years. I’m not going to share the title because the truth is, I’m not crazy about the book. It’s not a bad book, but it’s not a great book, either, in my opinion. Since it […]
Books Via Listen Alaska
Reading and stitching, stitching and reading. How do you do this when you don’t have a Mike to read aloud while you stitch? Answer: Audio books.

Earlier this year there was a Big Stink over the word “scrotum” appearing on page one of the Newbery-winning, The Higher Power of […]

I routinely say, “My whole life is a vacation.” There may be some truth in that.
We are visiting the lodge that Mike remodeled over the winter. It’s […]Read Across America Day
March 2nd is the National Education Association’s Read Across America Day. As if that’s not reason enough to celebrate, 2007 marks the 10th anniversary of NEA’s RAA program and the 50th anniversary of The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss. I learned to read with Dr. Seuss and The Cat in the […]
I Won! I Won! I Won!
I read a number of blogs. Shocking, eh?
Book Finishes
We finished Little Dorrit as expected. Definitely not one of my faves, but still head and shoulders above some other literature.
Books, Books, Books
Naturally, when I went to the library earlier this week, I didn’t limit myself to the Spiderwick books, though I did limit myself to the children’s section.
