Waiting for 10AM
If you love quilting, or just hoarding fabric as much as I do, I’m sure you know about the Fat Quarter Shop. Because of their amazing selection, it’s one of my favorite places to order fabric online. The best part is their Flash Sale page, which gets updated at 10AM every day. That means I…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – What do you get besides books at a bookstore?
What do you get besides books at a bookstore? Since there aren’t any independent bookstores in my area (other than second hand shops), most of my local book shopping happens at Barnes and Noble. I love looking through the periodicals section there, and occasionally pick up one of the more expensive web development magazines that…

Read MoreBowden Exhibit at Dunn Art Gallery
One of my favorite jobs at work is taking photos of the exhibits at the Dunn Art Gallery. The current exhibit is by artists Gene and Bill Bowden. The interesting thing about exhibits with multiple artists, like this one, is how the different artists’ artwork interacts. Bill Bowden’s exhibits focus on pottery, but also include…
Read MoreInvaluable Books at High Prices
I recently discovered Invaluable.com, an online auction website that focuses on high quality items. They had lots of books that I’d love to have on my shelf.
