Shopping, Not Sewing, And Some Ballet


 I (obviously) haven't had a ton of time for sewing lately, so instead I fill my time with planning, and shopping!
 Got this book for less than $2.00.  Better than a magazine.
 A nice little package of fabric to my door!  Loving the hexagon fabric.  Probably should have gotten more...
I showed these already.  Some Stonehenge fabrics for a challenge project.  Itching to work on these!
 And now for some show off pictures of my daughter E.  She just completed a week long ballet camp themed around the Sleeping Beauty Ballet.  In this case, there is one prince, and 12 princesses!
 Rose Adagio.
 Blue Bird
 Garland Dance

 We are super proud of her, she is growing up and learning lots!

A Sneak Peek

Kirsty of Kootoyoo is doing a link party of Snoop My Stuff.  A glimpse into our lives! She only did one picture, but since I went ahead and prepped this ahead of time, I have all my book cases!

I will take you on a tour of my bookshelves.  I think what is more telling than what is on them, is how many we have and how full they are!  I didn't dust them or straighten them, so this is how they usually look!


 Built-in bookcase in the living room.  Books, pictures, piggybanks, Lenin, Chanter for bagpipes, and our stereo.

  In the boys room - full of Mr. Riley's books.  Mostly Sci-Fi here. Two or three layers deep!  Stuffed animals on top and other boy toys scattered on top of the books.

 Kid's books in the boy's room.

 Older kid's books in E's room.

 These bookshelves are also crammed in E's room.  They make up a 'wall' for S to have his own sleeping area.  These shelves probably have the greatest variety.  All my sewing books are here, along with a lot of other 'stuff'.
Two more in the living room.  (the bag is full of books from Oma! - Thanks Oma!)  These shelves also have a great variety!  Dickens, Sci-Fi, History, Historical Fiction, Biblical, Cooking, Etiquette,  even some of W's Comic books crammed in the bottom.  Also, pictures, a plate/bowl made by my dad, a couple of chinese soldiers, a light bulb!, and some junk in a candy dish.

That's a lot of book cases, and books, and it doesn't count all the books we still have in boxes.  Including a whole set of Encyclopedias!

Stop by Kirsty's for more snooping.
