preparing to fly


I've laid the groundwork for another "RĂªver" using a chunk of that silk/linen blend skirt and find myself gravitating to stronger colors this time out. I've been looking at the other two long enough to go forward in a slightly different direction. I recognize and honor the comfort of the grid even if I am disorderly within the lines. 

 
Now I have to round up enough raw materials to hold me through a week away and remember that I will have to check a bag whether I like it or not because traveling with projects full of pins and scissors demands it. 

Have to remember to pin the note on that says "Dear TSA, Warning - Pins Here -please don't get blood on the fabric"

And here are the books I scored at the GW. I have looked at and handled a few e-readers but can't imagine not holding the real thing in my hands.

love all that luscious cloth on the grid. as far as the e-reader--it took me a while to get used to my kindle, but i just love it. i always carry it with me and i can read a variety of things (books, newspaper, etc.) wherever i have to wait. i would never carry all that stuff with me on my daily travels.

deb the new layout is fantastic! books....i still get the real deal too, they don't use power for one thing (vbg)

i did consider getting my mil an e-reader so she can see the larger type, but she is so computer-challenged she would never use it.

have fun travelling!

it does feel really different. michael has the work ipad and there are some free books available. i've tried a couple of time and it is really difficult to feel like i'm reading.

but

i do see how it works for people on the go, or to keep with you just in case.

i think of all those times doctors visits turned into hours and hours of wasted time.

to quote my sister....always pack a bag....but i realize as i become older i won't just look a little odd with a book bag, journal bag, and stitching bag coming into a building....i'll be that bag lady.
