The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I just finished this book and I'm going to pass it on to a friend. This is going to be my next traveling book (fitting since it's about traveling pants huh?) I wish everyone would read this book. It really touched my heart. I had a hard time getting into at first but after I did I couldn't put it down. Read my comment at the link above (just click the title) If you are interested in reading it just let me know and I'll share it with you too. I have a few people that are interested in reading it so hopefully it will come back to me each time so I can share it again.

This book is not available at amazon.com which I thought was weird. I found it at my local Barnes and Noble store in the teens section. Here is a link to Barnes and noble.com Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares
It can also be found on Ebay.

It's worth the read!

I'm going to start reading the second book in the traveling pants series soon but I kinda got into a new book that's been hanging out around here for too long. The Red Hat Club by Haywood Smith. See the link on my side bar. This is also one of my bookcrossing books. I guess I'm straying from my normal comfort zone of Mystery books to read some books about friends. I don't know why.

Sew...... how's life?

I know I haven't been posting much lately and there is probably no life left on this planet but........ that's really okay with me. I'm been out of sorts lately so I'm taking a break from classes and the other stuff that keeps me continually stressed out. I've been reading a lot lately. I just finished 2 books in a trilogy by Lori Wick. It's the "yellow rose trilogy" based in Texas. It's not my usual genre but it made me think of my sister who lives in San Antonio who I've been missing lately. So far I have loved the first two books, Every Little Thing About You (Wick, Lori. 1.) and A Texas Sky (Yellow Rose Trilogy Ser.). I'm now reading City Girl (Yellow Rose Trilogy). A friend of mine is reading the first two and then someone else plans to read them. I hope they enjoy them as much as I did.

I have also trying to learn how to sew. My husband bought me a sewing machine for Christmas LAST year and I played around with it a little bit when I first got it and then quickly forgot how to use it. It took me forever to figure it out the first time using the manual and google. This time around I decided to finally sign up for a class at JoAnns. I just went to my second class tonight and there is one more. We are making Pajama pants. So far we have learned a lot of random stuff like what items are useful to have, how to pick out and read a pattern, and about what time of fabric to buy...among many other things. Tonight we learned how to use some pretty cool sewing machines that could probably cook dinner while emboidering the curtains. We learned how to take it apart and clean it too. Then we cut out our patterns and we are ready to get to work next Wednesday. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

My husband HATES the fabric I chose! They aren't for him though so he better quit whining! At least I'm going to know how to use that sewing machine....and I can make him a pair of pajama pants to match LOL
