To Read or To Stitch

I had to lock this in the car

so I could get anything done today!

This is in my work tote bag

for times when we are slow...

Today is my day off

then I took an extra day tomorrow...

so I shouldn't be picking this book up

until late Friday afternoon

at the earliest...

arghhhh



744. This pretty much describes me...




This is an amazing book
for all introverts...
listened to it on CD
then had to purchase a copy


Wouldn't it be nice
to be able to say this out loud???

At work we readers
can tell by a look...
the non reader are oblivious
to our subtle and not so subtle hints...

*****
With the book locked in the car
I've been stitching today...
binding a few small rugs
then sewing wool strips to the back
need to sign and date in stitches

The birthday quilt is back from the quilter
Mom is busy adding the binding...
making the label is my job
it's going to be a combination of
writing with an archival marker
applique and patchwork...

Tomorrow I need to buy
a new digital camera...
somehow between getting it wet
and dropping it my current camera went kaput...
hate that it would cost more to repair
than a new & better one...

Is anyone going to follow along
and hook the antique indpiration rug
with us?
Mine is 28 x 20

am married to a reader, he reads, i stitch....would read more but it puts me to sleep and stitching invigorates me.....but the title of the book intrigues me what's it about....i have thought about doing the antique rug design as an applique, if i can find the extra time, don't hook as of yet but will learn someday....

I only read at night, it puts me to sleep, lol.
I hope you can find a nice camera, maybe a waterproof would be good;)

Hey Girl...as you know, I read a lot. I pretty much spend my time up into reading or at the sewing machine...and then everything else. ~grin~

Sounds like an interesting book, Kelley. I like to read too, but usually only find the time when I am on vacation. I haven't drawn it out yet, but am definitely going to hook this one too. Love the house!!!

Hi Kelley,
That is a dilemma I have, I am an avid reader and when I get started look out......Don't bug me!! I know how you feel. But then I feel like I should be hooking...I'm trying to find the perfect balance and making time for both. Yep Plan to hook the pattern! Talk to you soon but if I don't before this weekend, have a blessed Easter!!! Can't wait to hear about your sis getting her quilt.

hugs

I'll have to check out those titles, Kelley - not familiar with them. The only way I can control my reading addiction is to stay away....If I start, it's all over - nothing else will ever again be done here. It's sad, because I love it so, just can't control it. Sigh....some day....again, soon I hope. I wonder if there's a 12-step program somewhere. Did locking it in your car really work??? ;o) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
