{books}


It's no secret.
I love books.

Everyone who knows me knows this {I think}.
I could bury myself in books for hours. Well, actually, that's what I did this weekend. I've only a little bit left of the 4th book in the past 3 days.

Sheesh.
That sounds overboard, even for me.
But I do love it!

Anyway, the whole point of this is to let you know that I've joined up with WaterBrook Multnomah's Blogging for Books program. Tomorrow, I'll be posting a couple of reviews, and I'd love to hear what you think! I can't say that I'm an expert at writing book reviews...but I don't want them to be boring. So, we'll see how it goes.

{hint}
I really liked one of the books. I really didn't like the other book.
Be here tomorrow to find out why. :)

{ one yard wonders }

Last night when my dad came home, he brought something fun for my sisters and I.

One Yard Wonders.


I am so excited!
I think the concept of this book is really neat. I always try to use as little fabric as possible, but I want the project to turn out amazing, too. Now I have 101 to choose from!

Yes, last night I sat down and flipped through the entire book, writing down all the projects I wanted to try. Now I just have to find some fabulous fabric!
Some of the projects look harder than others, but I thought the directions looked fairly clear.
Of course, I tend to ignore rules/directions when sewing, so we'll see how it goes. :)

What about you? Is this a book you have? One you would want to use? Tell me about it!

{ tired }

I have a bad habit.
{Well, maybe more than one, but for now, it's enough.}

I always have books on hand, just waiting for me to read.
And I read them.
I have read SO much in my lifetime.

My problem is that sometimes {especially on Saturday nights}, I'll finish one book...



...and then I'll pick up a book I've already started...



...and finish it.
And think to myself, my alarm will go off early in the morning, and I really should be sleeping.



But I don't turn off the light. I just pick up another book. And proceed to read almost the entire thing.
And then I finally go to sleep at 2:30am.

Trust me, I regret it when the alarm goes off at 6:30.

{Someday, maybe I'll grow out of this habit. I hope.}
