Book It – Year’s End
The year has come to a close, so here’s a run down of how I did in meeting the 2015 Reading List from PopSugar. There were a total of 50 different categories to read a book in, so I decided right off the bat that I would need to mark each category a book fell…
Read MoreWIP Wednesday
It’s the last WIP Wednesday post of the year. I’ve made a lot of progress on things this year, but I’ve still got more projects going than I would like. Maybe that’s something I could work on in the new year. This week has been all about hanging sleeves. I’m midway through putting hanging sleeves…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – What was your reading goal for this year?
What was your Goodreads challenge or reading goal for this year? This year I had 2 reading goals. The 1st, my Goodreads challenge was originally to read 12 books, one per month. I set my goal super small because I’d just gotten into reading again and wasn’t sure how many books I would have time…

Read MoreDecking the Halls
Call me Scrooge, but I kind of hate decorating for the holidays. So many boxes to drag up the stairs, so much stuff to put out, and then a month later, I just have to pack it back up. Don’t get me wrong, homes that are decorated for Christmas are lovely. It’s just so much…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – Do you read Poetry?
Do you read Poetry? I don’t go out of my way to purchase or read poetry, but I do enjoy it on occasion. IAs a child it was Shel Silverstein who gave me a connection to poetry. And the opening poem in Where the Sidewalk Ends still connects with me today. The Invitation If you…
Read MoreFocus Through the Prism Challenge Review
For the last seven months, I’ve created a 20″ mini quilt each month. Those quilts were all part of the Focus Through the Prism Challenge over at Project Quilting. At first, I didn’t think I would be participating in the challenge, because I had to buy special fabric from Cherrywood to participate, and I was…
