Bookish Questions – Do you use ebooks?
Do you use ebooks? While I generally prefer to have a physical copy of books, ebooks can be really nice. Most of the classic novels I have read recently have been ebook versions I was able to download for free for my Kindle app. I mean, who doesn’t love a free book? Another reason I…
Read MoreCoffee Talk
This is my first ever Coffee Talk. I’m shamelessly stealing this idea from Daenel over at Living Outside the Stacks. She does her own Coffee Talk each week, and I love it. Basically, this will be a place where I can just talk about some of the cool things going on this week. Maybe I…
Read More#Project52 – Everyday
I always seem to be at my computer, but I’m been at one more than usual lately. The hard drive on my old laptop is showing signs it’s about to crash, so I’ve spent lots of time this week transferring files from my old computer to the new one. What does your everyday look like?
Read MoreBookish Questions – Do you have plenty of bookish items around your house?
Do you have plenty of bookish items around your house? Define plenty. I have lots of books and book related items around my house, but I feel like I’m severely lacking in shelf space. We have two fairly large shelving units in the house. There is one in the spare bedroom where I keep my…
Read MoreBook It! – Hazy Shade of Winter
It’s February, and the weather around here has been nothing by cold and heartless. It was in the 50s during the 1st week of February. But that warmer weather was a tease. We got more cold weather and snow again. Then it got warm again. We had a 70 degree day and then got snow…

Unfortunately, as farmers, we found several things wrong about their article.…
Read MoreBaby Hayes – A Pregnancy Photo Session
Last weekend, I got the honor of taking pregnancy photos for my sister and her husband. It was a beautiful 71 degree February day. I don’t know how that happened, but it made for a great day to take photos. For those of you in the Princeton area, these photos were all taken at the…
Read MoreBookish Questions – What is your favorite quote from a book?
What is your favorite quote from a book? Choosing one favorite quote is hard. Books tell us stories, but they also teach us about life. So many have changed mine. I guess this is where I quote Neil Gaiman and say that Stories you read when you’re the right age never quite leave you. You…
Read MoreA Sewing Funk
I haven’t been down in my sewing space for ages. I wish I could say that I have a good excuse, like the fact that it’s freezing down there (in my defense it is), or that my sewing table needs to be replaced/repaired (it does), but honestly, I think I would work around those things…
