Okay I know I'm late

I have joined a "twilight" readers club on facebook. I realize that I am very late in the game. But, hey, I have a good excuse,or should I say excuses. Grad school, single-parent mom, work, household work, etc. You know what I am talking about. Plate full and over flowing even though I want to cut down my life portions, the heaping servings keep coming from all directions. 

Okay, so, yes, I am finally getting a chance to read "the saga". It's pretty non-threatening reading intellectually. I mean it's terrifically no pressure, just pure entertainment. Which is just what I need right now. I have to force myself to practically remember that it is not affiliated with journal articles or coursework, and then it's easy to slip off into the words and characters.

And, I may say now, that I cheated a bit. Okay, quite a lot. I have watched

So, I can almost say that I have been put up to speed. I get the gist. Now I have to read the books for the meat and potatoes of the saga. 

At first, I thought the reading was too lovey dovey, but I have decided to give them a decent go to the end. I am going to try........I will. And, I will keep you informed to let you know if I did.

Which brings me to what I want to put more of on my life plate and move other portions off for-

Sewing, crochet, recipe delving and tasting, making things.

I have been trying to push my crafting and sewing interest to higher levels of actually doing as opposed to all the studying of ideas, patterns, and designs. It is the actual doing I have realized (no really) that gives the interest meaning. 

And, do you know how hard it is to take out or redo a project and not leave it as it is? That takes a lot of strength. I am making a round crochet pillow. Actually two. And I did not like the first outcome, so I pulled out the stitches to begin again. But, the second time around it is faster work, I am glad to say. I just don't know what will be the outcome again. High hopes! 

And some hand crafted "monster" dolls.
