Worthy Reading

Yesterday I bought my first issue of Martha Stewart Living. I'm excited to start crafting and this is perfect for getting the creative juices flowing. It's a little frustrating knowing that we're going to be moving soon in the sense that I don't want to make things that won't go with the new place (wherever that may be). Does that make sense? (Another goal for the year is to be more articulate!)

Anyway, I love the idea of the bulletin board with pockets (in the picture that's center right). Oh, the possibilities!!! I wish there were better places to purchase fabric around here...I think I'm going to have to order online (in love with Purl Soho). I also really love the idea of a framed bulletin board hanging from wide grosgrain ribbon. So many Good Things.

I'd also like to come up with my own ideas as well. I'm not too comfortable with the idea of replicating (sounds better than "copying"). I have to learn how to use my new machine first, so maybe I'll mosey on over to Barnes & Noble -- and maybe Dave will watch BB for me, hint hint.

BB has gone to bed early (I think) so I now have some time to myself. Dave is spending the night at his parents' home in order to bring them to the airport early in the morning. They're going on a Western Caribbean cruise for a week. I'm totally dying to go. Cozumel. Costa Maya. Grand Caymans. All you can eat FOOD.

I think I'll just tidy up (lately this place seems to be perpetually messy) and do a little reading. I bought Jane Austen's Persuasion I don't know how long ago and I'm finally getting around to reading it. It's pretty dense reading, so I need to focus. Til next time...
