I’ve found myself going to the library quite a bit recently. I still can’t get over the view.

My dear friends, Lelia, Katie, and Misty, took me to the Pigeon Forge Titanic Museum last Saturday, August 21st. It was wonderful.
Goodbye, McKay’s

On our last visit to McKay’s (with several boxes of books), I used the last of our store credit to purchase two new sewing books.
A Quilter’s Ark and The Perfect Apron.

I absolutely LOVE my paper craft book from Japan. Thanks, Jeremy and Kristin!
aren't they pretty?
Misty already requested some in yellow for her bulletin board. I’m too happy to oblige!

While here to help us with the flea market, Mom gave me some treasures from Japan.
Jeremy and Kristin gave me a really cool paper craft book. I can’t wait to try my hand at something.
Move to Michigan

Aug
One of the first steps we’ve made in our move to Michigan has been to clean out our media. We’ve already gone to McKay’s twice with books, DVDs, and CDs as part of our summer cleaning. Now that we are moving, however, it is difficult to justify my glorious obscene amount of books.
Payless is helping me move for the third time.
These boxes are FULL of books that are leaving my life, but not my memory. We are keeping four (much smaller) boxes of books.
Love,
Tiff

Thanks to Jo-Ann’s coupons, I have a new quilting book.
Big Book of Rotary Cutter Quilts
Wuthering Heights

May
Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights is breathtaking. I decided to revisit the old classic this week and found myself once again swept away to the stark and beautiful moors of Gimmerton.
Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff share wild, passionate, and selfish temperaments; so, too, is their love for each other. Both exhibit prideful natures, though Nelly cautions Heathcliff, “Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.”
My copy of the novel is littered with scrawling notes and stars and arrows signifying similar favorite passages. Here, I shall share some with you.
Sewing Books II

May
I recently went to McKay’s and added two books to my sewing library. The first is a comprehensive sewing guide called Singer Sewing Book.For only $2.50, how could I resist that cover?
I love the colors.
