Stitching, pens and audio books…

This is my current stitching project…A Rosalie Quinlan design…..”Free As A Bird”..

I have tried the Pilot Frixion pens for tracing the design onto the fabric, not bad at all, easy to use….

but, you must remember to iron on your stabilizer first, then trace the design..LOL

Yesterday I mentioned my Kobo reader….when I exercise (I try to do this morning and night for 20 mins, should be more but it is better than nothing)  I listen to Audio Books….I am quite addicted, I received some great book ideas yesterday, anyone have some suggestions for audio books…I like nice long ones and I do enjoy sequels…..thanks….

Happy Friday

Red Dog by Louis De Bernieres

And I have just about finished reading Red Dog….I watched the DVD a few months back and I loved it…

 

And this is how I read all my books now…..I just love my Kobo reader…nice simple easy to read and no clutter….Does anyone have a suggestion for what my next book should be…???

Happy Thursday

IMG_0158

I have another needle case that I have made, this time from silk…. Pete one of my bosses came home from one of his overseas trips, (he always brings back a little something for me), and one of the gifts was 10 pieces of silk, so I tried the “GO”using  the silk…..lots of fraying, but, I did enjoy using this as well…next time I am going to mix a few combinations, maybe silk, wool, chenille ????

Happy Tuesday

Take care Peg…

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.
