I have the Kingsolver from the library, but am hoping to renew it for my vacation. I LOVED A Homemade Life so much. The only thing I've made from weekend sewing is the headwrap, and like you nothing from the skirts book. I don't have the other two... What a lovely stack of books.

It was nice to see them come out so much like I had envisioned them - that doesn't always happen. Can't wait to see your next project. I'm just loving anything shore-related right now!

I'm such a a book addict and have piles upon piles next to my bed. I'll join in the fun soon. I just love your new beach inspired mokume pendants. GREAT juxtaposition of colors. You're inspiring me to pull out some seashore colored seed beads for my next free-form project! :-) <abbr><em><small>See what Karen has been blogging about: <a href="http://artandtea.wordpress.com/2009/05/23/saturday-morning-tea-81/" rel="nofollow">Saturday Morning Tea</a></small></em></abbr> What a fabulous idea, Lisa!

I love using covered pens - they're so unique and they kind of make mundane tasks seem a tiny bit more special :-) How cool!

I love flipping through craft books I haven't seen in a while, and picking out some new detail that didn't strike me before. Exactly!

I made beads and covered pens. None look like yours. I just dug in my clay drawers and whatever came out is what got played with and created from (horrible sentence grammatically, ugh). The only planned item was on Friday when I wanted to make a black and white mokume gane. Love the way it turned out and got a surprise, zebra-ish cane from the scraps. As for my reading, mostly reading for work (state test scores are in). But have been diving into some Michael Fullan, King of change theory. 20 years ago I would never have read such a book, but he fascinates me with "the moral purpose behind successful change." Anyway, enjoy!! YOU inspired me this long weekend just past! I made beads and covered pens. None look like yours.
