UGH!!! I promise I have been crafting

Our camera broke. I don't know where our old camera is and I keep forgetting to ask dh. Hopefully I'll be able to get some pictures up soon of my projects. I did get some with dh's camera phone the other day, I'll just have to remember to get them off his phone.

I made a purse with assessories for a friend's child for her birthday. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out. I've been making braided barrettes lately too. Other than that I've knitted some alien wash clothes and wove some potholders. Oh and I also made some green on green acorns. And a few other things if I think on it, LOL.

I've also been reading alot again lately. E-books are my friend. I recently read 2 great books from New Concepts Publishing. Unbridled by Raven Willow-Wood http://www.newconceptspublishing.com/unbridled.htm
and Rules of Engagement by Kaitlyn O'Connor http://www.newconceptspublishing.com/rulesofengagement.htm .
Unbridled is a new series by Raven Willow-Wood and is about centaurs and an alternate world/dimension. Rules of Engagement is the 4th book in Kaitlyn O'Connor's Cyborg Series. I really love her style of writing. This series is about organic cyborgs who gain self awareness and begin to want freedom and families of their own and their rode to that freedom. I've read several others lately too that are just as good.

Quotes - Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris

I love quotes from just about anywhere, books, bumper stickers, T-Shirts. I'm a sucker for a good quote. Anyway, here's a quote from one of my favorite characters in one of my favorite series.

Sookie Stackhouse is talking to Quinn as he's getting ready to change into his were form (in other words he's stripping).

"Oh, boy, You look better than a Happy Meal to a three-year-old"

I love that line.

If you haven't read any of Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire series, its worth the read. There is supposed to be series based on the books coming out soon on HBO. The Series is called True Blood.
