What Have I Been Reading Lately?

I have not been crafting very much lately with the exception of knitted dishcloths, but I have been reading in spare moments. I have read two of Tracy Peterson's books. My sister loaned me A Lady of Hidden Intent and I really enjoyed it . The main charater is a dressmaker and this really interested the crafting side of my nature. I moved on to a previous book in the series A Lady of High Regard. I enjoyed this book, but found it much harder to identify with the main character.

So now I have moved on to a new author suggested by a friend. Her name is Jamie Carie and I am into the first few chapters of the book and enjoying it very much. This one begins in England during the Regency era and moves to Philadelphia and the Quaker community. There is an air of mystery involved so it is a page turner for me.
In have yet to post my pictures of the crafts that I have worked on and will do so soon. It is very slow to post or load from my computer at home.

There are several new links additions in my sidebar under Where I Visit. These are wonderful and I read them as often as I possibly can. I hope that you enjoy them too.

A thank you to our local cable company

By not running cable the 1/2 mile to our home we have a total of $15,000 that we have been able to use for other household needs. Just think if it had been run at the cost to you of $5,000 thirteen years ago then you would currently have a profit of $10,600 from us. All the sudden dino-dial-up does not seem so bad.

Beatrix Potter Wish List

This is the first item on my wish list. I viewed this movie a few years ago and would like to have it for my family. The scenery in this one was lovely.

This book looks very interesting. It is long (608 pages) and I would love to read it. I love pictures and there are not many in this book, but I feel that it will give me much more information about her life than any other has thus far.
I have had the pleasure of looking through the old edition of this book at our library and it is beautiful. I think it was the one book that has given me a longing to someday visit the Lake District. It has also given me a desire to know more about Miss Potter and her life.

There are many other Beatrix Potter items that I have found interesting. but these are my top 3 choices.

Busy, Busy, Busy

My little family has been very busy and I have not had time to blog, but I will be back in a few days with some of the goodies that I have made to share.
