I promise- no spoilers!

August 3, 2007

I return to the land of the living… or at least the land of the blogging. Oh how I love reading into the wee hours of the morning in order to finish a great book. The final installment of Harry Potter (no, I promise not to give anything away) was just plain fabulous. I had several suspicions and a little over half of them were correct. Funny moments in books usually make me smile and they have to be down right hilarious to make me actually laugh out loud- this one succeeded. If you’ve read Deathly Hallows, I am referring to the scene with Mrs. Weasley and Bellatrix Lestrange. My favorite scene? Harry walking into the woods. That one really got to me. Wow.

The next in my reading line up is The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America by Bill Bryson. I’ve barely started it and am already really enjoying myself. Someone recommended his humorous writing style and I think I could get hooked.

In the world-o-crafting, I am trying to finish up the tea towels for my best friend’s birthday. I am doing them as a set of seven, and plan to embroider the days of the week on them. I am pondering the possibility of adding some extra pizzazz to them- perhaps a “Manic Monday” or a “Sassy Saturday”. Thoughts? As I mentioned before, the designs are quite a bit more modern than your grandma’s geese in bonnets. :)

 Sorry for the lame photos. I used the digital camera instead of the Digital Camera. ;) I’ll have to right that wrong later.
