This weekend I read. A lot. All day Saturday I read (and finished at last) Little Women. Then Sunday, I had to get through the whole of Treasure Island. The thought of spending a whole day reading and getting nothing else done made me feel slightly panicky (have you seen my to do list?) so I bought the audio book from iTunes and started sewing while listening.
First I made a sock toy to go in a shoebox for Rotary.
Then I finally finished the first felt Christmas ornament ( having bought the pack October last year).
I have even made a start on the second one – the ice skate. This is what it will look like when finished – in theory at least:
Only one and a half to go on the 2008 pack and then all three of the 2009 pack to go!
Incidentally, I thoroughly enjoyed Treasure Island – very exciting indeed! Now I just have to get the essay written. Bah.
Love the sockie! And the decorations look fabulous – very professional finish. Well done!
I know you’re only reading for course at the moment, but if you enjoyed Treasure Island I can’t recommend Kidnapped highly enough – excellent exciting novel, and taught me a lot aout Scottish history I didn’t previously know.

Ooh yes I will definitely read that (once the course is finished!!!), and thanks!
