Maybe one of these weeks I'll have something exciting to tell you……(we can only hope!!) Actually, at my age, I have come to appreciate boring! Who needs more aches, pains, flu bugs, or bad news? Just give me snow and cold and curling up with a good book, or sending out already finished fun envelopes. Those and humdrum household duties have become my mainstay lately (although I did work on two pincushions this week……amazingly!) You have no idea how happy I am that I didn't get a puppy to train this winter…..whew! It's been a dilly here! Spring can't come soon enough!
Here are the few envelopes I sent off this week:
And then, Amazon continues to love me……..two deliveries this week! E-gads! I think I'm done ordering for awhile until I catch up! I do have two "Lady" orders too so I won't be reading as fast.
This week I read: "A Week in Winter" by Maeve Binchy
"The Light Between Oceans" by M L Stedman
" Me Before You" by JoJo Moyes
All of them were good, but I enjoyed "Me Before You" the most. It was a real tear jerker!! Just this afternoon I started "The Kept" by James Scott. It's one of the few hardcover I bought, mainly because it is a debut book and I LOVE debuts. So far, I'm not real impressed and the story seems a bit "dark" so we'll see.
So that's it! Another boring, but comforting week. I finished my pincushion for the pincushion swap, got two lady orders, and have been thinking about the QT swap "house" mini quilt that I must have done by the end of March. I'll probably be sewing again this next week! Too bad I never thought about audio books, huh? I probably could use them this week. I just might have to take a swing to the library!! Ummmm…..!! Have a great week, my friends! Stay warm!

Long time since I visited and I see you are doing more art envelopes and reading rather than sewing. I suppose we all need a break. But I do miss your sewing projects ever SEW much!!

Hi!!! I love your envelopes!!! They are always so sweet and cheerful!!! Thank You
Winter is a time of reflection and new beginnings to come. Reading is a wonderful way to spend time. Fun fabulous artsy envelopes. Enjoy your comforting weeks dear...
That sounds like a great idea... listening to an audio book while sewing. It might wreak havoc on the sewing concentration though, eh? Such fun envelopes. That soccer sweetie is a kick!
So cute...as always! I think that you will like the audio books, Carol. We usually get them from the library when we travel but I got one once when Tim was in the hospital for a while and I needed something to listen to while I smocked and embroidered. It was a life saver...mine!!!LOL
Yes i just finished : Me before you...great author Jojo moyes.
