Sewing With Nook Tablet

So remember when I blogged about winning a Nook E reader? Right here.... Nook

Well I have found my pal Nook very useful! Look here at sew4home.com
They have a cute retro potholder tutorial-and lots of other great ideas too. Anyways, I was thinking these might be fun to make so I made a test, and had Nook to help me along.! The pattern is a good one I think-I just need more bias tape practice-I'm sending these test ones off to a White Elephant Swap I'm participating in this month. But the best part is I didn't have to print the instructions and I don't have paper to keep track of-well except the pattern. I'm thinking I'm going to laminate the pattern so it stays in good shape.

Book Sale Today!

So the library had their book sale today. They have them a couple of times a year. I always go but I rarely buy a book. There's a whole other room full of books too, and this is on day 2!

If I buy a book I'd have to dust it on the bookshelf at home..no stuff to dust for me thank you very much.

But they have a ton of books and they GIVE A LOT away. FOR FREE!

That's where you'll find the encyclopedias. On the FREE rack. They can't even give them away. I always thought they'd make a great lamp, like this...

Not today though, because I don't need a lamp either!!!

I remember May Day! When we were kids we would hurry home from school, beg the parent for money to go to the store to buy candy and then stuff candy & popcorn in a Dixie cup to be delivered to our friends houses. Oddly enough our friends were busy delivering May baskets to OUR house, so we never got involved in the chase/catch game that is a memory in so many bloggers May days.
