Weekend Site-Seeing
Among other things, I am now on the lookout for The Perfect Book to make into a purse. On one hand, it has to be a book I’m willing to dis- and re-assemble. On another hand, it has to be interesting enough to make me want to muck with it and then carry it about. […]
Challenge? Did Someone Say “Challenge”?
Yes, indeedy! MotherReader is hosting the third annual 48 Hour Book Challenge this weekend. (Not to be confused with the Bookmark Challenge.) MotherReader is–say it with me–one of the blogs I read regularly. Do you get the idea I read a lot of blogs?
What is the 48 Hour Book Challenge? You mean, besides a […]Blow Out the Moon and Ida B.
If you haven’t yet, please read Thursday’s post. It’s important. I hate to cover it up with new posts, but I don’t want to stop posting, so this is my compromise.????????
What’s on my nightstand? Blow Out the Moon, by Libby Koponen.
This novel is based on the author’s experience at an English boarding school. She […]Beetle Wings in Embroidery
I am currently taking an Independent Correspondence Course on The Art of Teaching Embroidery through the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. I need to write a research paper. Obtaining research materials has been a bit of a challenge, but I finally got to the library and came home with sixteen books.
I think my chosen subject is […]The Golden Compass and Shug
What’s on my mp3 player? The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman.
Yes, I’m am only just now getting around to reading this. And I’m not reading it, but rather listening to it, courtesy of Listening Library and the Palmer Public Library.
I’m not very far along, but I am loving the reading. It’s read by Mr. Pullman […]Favorite Reading Places
Do you have a favorite reading place? I do, and it’s in bed.
For starters, I always read before I go to sleep. It’s part of my night routine. Some sleep experts advise against reading in bed, but who cares? I like reading in bed. In fact, a good book will actually draw me to […]What’s On My Nightstand?
What’s on my nightstand? Chicks with Sticks (Knit Two Together), by Elizabeth Lenhard.
I have a three-page, single-spaced list of Recommended Reading, but this book was not on it. I discovered it browsing the library shelves this week. The knitting title caught my eye–I’m a knitter. I had a stack of a dozen books already, what’s […]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 […]
