Recently I have become a library junky. I go at least once a week, and many weeks is it more than that. I love to check books out before I buy them, in case I don't want to. My kids love books and this opens up the possibilities for us. My son also likes to play the Magical School Bus games on their computers. My baby likes to run away, so I started taking a stroller.
It's nice to be able to thoroughly look through cook books. I have found that most have a lot of really weird recipes that I would never make for my family and if I did, they wouldn't eat them!
My latest find is a book called Simple Crochet by Erika Knight. From the cover, it looks like a regular crochet book, but she recommends crocheting with anything that is a continuous string. Her list includes kitchen twine, hemp, ribbon, mohair, and my personal favorite, leather thonging. I am really excited to try to make a basket out of leather. It looks really neat and would be really useful as well. She also has patterns for boxes to hold household goods in. They also look interesting.
I've also been reading the Anne of Green Gables series. I have loved the movies since I was a little girl and now I have finally gotten around to reading the books. I've really enjoyed reading about the "Anne-Girl".
