Reading Wednesday

One bookmark done and the other one started. That one will be The Book Witch is In. I've gotten a message that Glass Menagerie is due back already. I've gotten over my headache from this morning so maybe I can get it read before the library closes at 9. I'm guessing since I've only had it a week some student needs it for a class. I've checked out a great many books I just haven't been reading much :p I've gotten some needlework books to look through the patterns and yesterday I went back by to pick up Jasper Fforde's The Last Dragon Slayer because it came in and I had it on hold. I haven't even gotten half way through the Grow Your Blog Blog Roll! I'm happy to have the new followers though and I'm up over 100! So thanks for everyone stopping by who likes my loopyness, stitching and reading :) In other news I borrowed a friends alphabet book and still figuring out how I'm going to do the Madam Name. I'm wondering if I should do it as another bookmark so Topocho can hide it away and not have to explain it ;) If you're to the east of me I hope the storms coming through leave you unscathed. I was woken at 3:30 am to the weather alert saying we had tornado warnings. I went back to bed around 4:45 and then had another nap that I just got up from. The storm has mostly passed over so my sinuses are a little less poundy. Not helped by my husband putting the risers in for the stairs :p but hey they are looking good.

stitchy updates

 I finished up my Love Quilt Square on my Saturday stitch.  It was so close when I got home I sat until it was done and found a quick alpha for my name and city.  It's so dang long!  I just stitched each letter and didn't map it or I might have adjusted a tiny bit and it would have been centered 2 squares on each side.

Ferret Friday progress.  We went out to eat at Maggiano's and hubs wanted to stop a few places.  So I grabbed my stitching since I hadn't done anything on it all day.  Got a bit of the brown and some more of the jewelry box.

Yesterday I stitched on Monopoly finishing the bit of white I had left and filling in some orange and then realizing there was no way the orange was going to meet up correctly.  My options will be to rip out all the color entirely or rip out the bit of orange and see if the white will fit and stitch around it.  It won't be exact but as long as I can make the white square fit it should look decent.  I have to keep looking at it to decide what I want to do.

I was going to make brownies for Thursday because I had seen a recipe for Chocolate Stout brownies that looked very good. But they take 2hrs and 10 min :p  Might be the Duncan Hines out of the box again.
