Hi folks,
it's Wednesday again, and I am still trying to get used to having a whole day off! What am I doing on the computer this early in the day......? Yes, I have done some housework, done enough ironing for the next few days, cleaned out a kitchen cupboard, and hung out a load of washing........just the bathroom towels so no more ironing...hooray (I would add a smiley face or cheeky grin here if I knew how ha ha)!! I figured this will leave the evening free to do some work, or start a new book (does that sound like a contradiction of terms to you, or is it just me?) I haven't read one book at all, this week yet.
I thought I would check my blog, and look at what's happening on the sites I Follow (I get a snippet to let me know if anyone has put something new on their blog), and noticed I had a few comments on my last post. Thanks Vic for fixing up my link on my last link on her blog.
How do I manage to fit so much into my handbag? It has a lot of pockets, which as Susan L from lily40au mentioned, does become quite heavy......especially with the coins adding up! I do love the comment from Jackie (The Back Shed)...."Yep. All the usual bits and pieces" . It's nice to know someone doesn't think it's weird to have craft buttons, crochet hooks of different sizes, etc. in your bag. Why the crochet hooks? As I said earlier, I also do my craft work at home (against doctors orders), and usually the hook I want is at work. Solution? Keep some in my handbag!
Okay, enough for now....those towels should be about dry by now. Yes, we actually have blue sky and sunshine today. Admittedly clouds looming on the horizon, but good Wash Day weather (and day off, ha ha). No it's not that I hate the rain, but I do wish it would make up it's mind to either rain, or be sunny. Wouldn't it be lovely if it just rained at night? Gotta go. Happy Crafting, Jenny

My Place and Yours........What's in Your Handbag?
It is still raining! A neighbour said we have had 11 inches this month already. I wanted to do my meme list last night, but with the thunder around, I decided to leave it....sorry Vic! Who is Vic? Vic is the one who initiated this Meme List. Her blog is http://punkysmamma.blogspot.com/
Contents of my handbag........
Okay, what will you find in my handbag? Coins which haven't quite made it to my coin purse, craft shopping list, roll-on lavender, spare reading glasses, mobile phone, lace to match up on next shopping trip (these are very few and far between), crochet hooks, buttons, biro, cough lollies, and panadol.
I will admit, I did have a clean up of the contents of my bag just before Christmas. My bag has lots of pockets which can be handy, but scary as to what you will find come clean up time....usually when you can't fit anything else in!!
I have had a tidy up in my work area today. Hopefully an improvement to what it looked like before I started. I'll get stuck into projects tomorrow. Top of the list is Fabric Bags, and String Bags.
I have read two books this week......Hitched, and Lace by Carol Higgins Clark. Carol is the daughter of Mary Higgins Clark. Both authors write mystery books. There is intrigue, however they are not of the gruesome variety, which makes a nice change from time to time.
Well, I'm signing off for the night. There are still a lot of rain clouds around, but no lightning yet. Happy Crafting, Jenny

Reading Material
Hi everyone,
how are you going? Well! The rain has eased, and we are getting the strong wind at the momment. We had over 8 inches from Saturday to today. It has washed some of the shoreline away, but nothing worse. A number of the houses are now quite close to the shoreline.....talk about water views!
It's definitely been good weather for reading. Has anyone continued reading after last week's meme list? Thank you to Vic for her help and comment (yes I got them both. I hope your internet is ok now).
I have continued with my reading. I was reading Two for the Road by Amanda Hampson. I enjoyed it. It is set in Australia, about a girl who decides to take over her father's towing business when her father ends up in hospital after being attacked. At times I forgot the book was written present day, as I felt it had a 1960's feel about it, but still enjoyable. This book was lent to me by a family friend, but I would go out and buy it. I have also read Amanda's book, The Olive Sisters.
I even managed to read another book over the weekend....... Eat Cake by Jeanne Ray. It is set in America, and how Ruth (the main character) copes with family dramas. I'm sure many crafters can relate to Ruth, as her craft is in the kitchen. This one will stay on my book case at home.....not work (I also sell second hand books).
Notice the label for this...... Reading Material. I am going to keep adding to it as I read more books. A word of warning....if it's not craft supplies that I treat myself with, it's books! Let me know what books you have enjoyed (send a comment).
Today I have been finishing some of the Toddler Balls. Not quite what I call them when I am making them. They are made with numerous segments, and get a bit fiddly to do, but they are quite good for the littlies when finished, as I guess you could say they are made up with 'handles' for kids to grab hold of.
Enjoy your book, and Happy Crafting, Jenny
