If you got an ereader for Christmas (or bought yourself one just because), you can’t miss Read an Ebook week. And if you don’t have an ereader, then you might be able to win one from some of the giveaways going on this week. Even if you don’t have an ereader, ... Comment - Like

I came across a beading community over on LiveJournal, and remembered my box of craft supplies gathering dust in the corner. The box with about 50 vials of seed beads in it, a beading board, and various beading accoutrements. Oh. I used to do crafts?
Cue obsessive sifting through the library catalo... Comment - Like

(WordPress published this post before I was finished editing it. Oh well. Now some of you know what my drafts look like. Sigh.)
I have read all of Gabaldon’s Outlander series, so I put The Exile: An Outlander Graphic Novel on hold at the library. It came in a couple days ago and to be honest? Meh... Comment - Like

One of this year’s projects is to do a bead journal every month. It’s loosely based on The Bead Journal Project (I missed registration so I’m not an official participant). Basically, you choose a format/size and make a bead project of that type every month, for a year.
Why am I telling you th... Comment - Like

Somehow last week got away from me so I’m smooshing two weeks together. Next week it’s Sambuca truffles, echte (real) Black Forest cake, vanilla ice cream, and stuff for dinner (probably). Also, I once again neglected to take pictures. Baby steps.
The recipes came from The Moosewood Restaurant ... Comment - Like

In case anyone missed it, this project is to work through my cookbooks and try the recipes I haven’t tried yet. If the recipes are available online, I link to them. If the recipe is one passed on through family, I’ll post the recipe. If the recipe comes from a cookbook, I won’t publish the rec... Comment - Like

Since the weather has warmed up these last few days, we’ve started opening the blinds in the front room to let in the sun. Much to our surprise, when we opened the blinds yesterday there was a bunny hanging out on the snowbank in front of our main window.
Today, he was back again and has been sit... Comment - Like

Every year around this time, I promise myself that I will make an effort to systematically go through my cookbooks trying recipes instead of continually cooking the same few recipes that I’ve tried by poking through the books and seeing what appeals to me. I have cookbooks that I haven’t even tr... Comment - Like

Dear Mother Nature,
I know snow is part of the seasonal cycle here in Canada. And I know that living in a Prairie province that we’re going to get a fair dump of it every winter. I’m okay with that. I really am. There’s even some good uses for snow. It’s not all bad. But do you think you co... Comment - Like

We were discussing business plans on one of the freelancing email lists that I’m on and talk turned to life plans. Someone mentioned Wishcraft as being a book that they found really useful and reread every few years.
Despite the cheesy name, I decided to check it out since it is now a free downlo... Comment - Like

It’s been ages since I’ve posted a link to a free ebook (mostly because I don’t have time to go looking for them anymore), but I did find this one as I was perusing the Early Reviewers list over at LibraryThing.
Apparently you can download The Painted Darkness by Brian James Freeman in ebook ... Comment - Like

If you’ve been to the Kittling Books blog, you’ll know that every Wednesday Cathy features the desk of a book blogger. After months of procrastination and thinking that I’d one day have a clean desk, I sent Cathy a picture of my desk the way it is.

Lindsay takes a chance by breaking the covenant with the reader that Dexter is a “good monster”; the result doesn’t really work and leaves me wondering if I should continue reading the series.

This was supposed to be a book review, but I was distracted by something that is, to me, completely incomprehensible. I’m hoping someone will be able to make sense of it for me. I went to Amazon to get the book cover for the review I was writing and while searching for the paperback release date, ... Comment - Like

An indispensable book on editing for the layperson that applies to more than just business editing–the cover does not do the content justice.
