In Other Crafts




My sewing machine and I do not get along very well, but we had to work together for this project. On top of that, I had to freshen up my embroidery skills, on which I had given up years ago.

I don't want to show the complete names but I think the letters came out well. I am still not 100% satisfied with the sewing results but I cannot waste anymore time working on it. The bride to be, one of my best friends from college, assures me she is going to like it no matter what. I hope so. I will not be at the wedding, which breaks my heart. At least  I get to sign the guest book anyway.

List of finished books:
  • Breaking Dawn, by Stephenie Meyer.
    Finally finished the series. It's not so great but it kept me entertained.
  • Stolen Innocence, by Elissa Wall
    More about the polygamous mormon sect.
  • Tear Down this Myth, by Will Bunch
    I always thought the Reagan administration was overrated. Now I know how and why that happened, plus I got the real facts.
  • Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
    I missed the movie, which given the bad reviews, might have been for the best. The book is great, but one has to keep in mind that it was written during the 80's.
  • The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson
    The last book in the Mistborn Series. Finally the whole thing makes sense. I liked it a lot, especially compared with the second book which seemed to have been written in haste.

    Beautifully done. She'd be crazy not to love it.
