Several blogs I read have fun posts, that show what is on their design wall every Wednesday, or new projects on Thursday, etc. I wish I could do that. I have had the same project on my design wall for at least six weeks. I worked on it for a few minutes this morning. I realize my June quilt will be coming due soon and once again I have no ideas. Ellen suggested Dutch Wonderland, which is a June highlight, but not inspiring me to creativity. I may have just gotten inspired......... by my glass of lemonade!
I just finished reading "Cloud Atlas" and overall liked it, but found it confusingly odd. It was to have the element of mystical, but I felt it was used at times of transition. The story was compelling, but didn't flow well. 
I am now reading John Irving's book "Last Night in Twisted River". I hope it is good, his last three books have been stinky. I am also still reading "The Lacuna". I like the book and love Barbara Kingsolver, but it just isn't riveting. I can put it down, without a desire to pick it back up. I know I will finish, I just don't know when. My next book purchase will by "Silo" by Leif Peterson. He is a friend from college and I really enjoyed his first two books, "Catherine Wheels" and "Normal Like Us".
You are truly inspiring. I cant believe how much you get accomplished. Quilting, reading, swimming, parenting, working, and participating in the trial. Guess I better get out of my jammies, and try to keep up with you!
ReplyDeleteI forgot about the word numskull. That's such a great word, but not a nice sentiment when used. Although, shouldnt it be spelled numbskull?
ReplyDeleteYes, I think numbskull would be proper. But, doesn't numskull make the intended seem even stoopider?
