Books & A Midnight Ride

While not out of the picture, crafting time has decreased some since I bought my Nook in January. All my life I had been an avid reader. I remember being a child, waiting for the Weekly Reader books my mother had ordered to arrive in the mail. Of course, I had them read almost immediately!

Between regular grown-up life and other interests, my reading dwindled down to almost non-existant. *insert sad face here* Admittedly, I love gadgets, so when the Kindle came out, my interest was piqued. Pricing was way outside my budget, so I just sat back to see what would happen as things always drop in price and improve in quality as time goes on with electronics.

This past year it seemed the ebook & ereader market was really to a point where I could finally dive into the proverbial pool. After researching the various ereaders available, I decided the Barnes & Noble WiFi e-ink Nook was perfect for my needs. I am so in love with this device! I have been reading almost every single day since getting it, and that hasn't happened in years. My favorite feature is the ability to download ebooks from the library. I have enough books on hold that I don't have to wait for something to become available. I am in reader heaven!!

I have several craft items I have been working on since my last post, but tonight I'm only going to feature my cross-stitch piece, Midnight Ride. This is what she looked like the last time I posted.



And this is what she looks like now.



My knitting is such a passion for me, that I sort of forgotten how much I enjoy stitching. I need to learn to better allocate my hobby time so I can do everything I love to do and not focus so much on one thing.
