Hi friends! Sorry for the long absence. A lot has been going on, and precious little of it involves crafting. Growing a baby is HARD! Two more weeks until we find out what we're having. I'm sporting a small baby bump that I try to enhance as much as possible, so that I'll look pregnant and not just chunky. :)
Also, I think I've figured out my cravings... cereal (doesn't matter what kind) and chocolate milk shakes. Mmmmmm... I want a milk shake right now! I wonder if Hubby will stop and get me one on his way home from work?
A tiny bit of sewing has been happening... a couple of weeks ago we had a Modern Quilt Guild meeting, and
Penny showed us how to piece hexagons. I made the cutest flower! I came home with more hexagons, a bit of gorgeous fabric, and a hankering for MORE!
I finally tracked down an acrylic hex cutting template and I'm thinking I might do either a mug rug or a baby quilt with hexagons.
Switching to my third tangent of this post, (I can do that, I'm pregnant) (okay, I do that anyway) I got a
nook last month and I LOVE IT! I was really nervous about buying an e-reader... I love the feel of holding a traditional book in my hand and was having a hard time with the idea of giving up the kinesthetic experience. Turns out it's really not that big of a deal... I also like that I don't have to connect the thing to my laptop to download my books, it's got wireless internet so I can do it automatically. Which is a good and bad thing, because I've already spent a ton of money on books. By the way, I'm not getting compensation for this, blah blah blah.
My only complaint is that in almost all of the e-books I've downloaded, there are a bunch of typos. It's so frustrating! I really think these things should be edited as well as a regular book and I hate seeing so many mistakes in the text.
Oh, typos are such a pet peeve of mine, too! Kinesthetic? Throwing around the big words now, huh? Must be all that time spent with 6 year-olds and the need to prove that your vocabulary is bigger than theirs!
ReplyDeleteGrowing a baby IS hard!! Especially while working (with Kindergarten yikes!). I would come home immediately after school and pass out on the couch. I barely made it through the school day for all of my first and most of my second trimesters! It will get better, though - you'll have the summer! :D
ReplyDeleteI l-o-v-e the hexagons! Are those your vinatge sheets? I think the patterns are perfect together! They look scrappy-random, but they still match. Its the perfect combo! :D
My husband really wants a nook. My mom has a kindle and loves it. I don't know if I could handle reading on a screen (more than I do already). I know that I'm with you on the typos - that would make me crazy! I also love that Amy Butler fabric showing under your nook... :D
Nancymoo's comment totally kicks ass.
ReplyDeleteWe have a Kindle and I love reading on it (so far).
